Full-Body Harnesses, Lanyards & Roof Anchors
Full-Body Harnesses, Lanyards & Roof Anchors
Fall protection is not an afterthought on a roof crew, it is the first thing set up. Before any material goes up, anchors are placed and harnesses and lanyards are fitted to each person working the slope. This equipment is standard on steep-slope and flat-roof work alike, on every job, regardless of size.
What This Equipment Does
- Full-Body Harnesses — Worn by crew members working at height, distributing fall forces across the body rather than a single point.
- Lanyards — Connect the harness to an anchor point, limiting how far a worker can fall before being stopped.
- Roof Anchors — Fixed points set into the structure before work begins, engineered to hold a fall arrest system under load.
Working Alongside Other Access Equipment
Harness systems are one part of a broader approach to safe roof access. On many jobs they are used together with scaffolding, boom or scissor lifts, roof jacks, toe boards, and planks, and stabilized extension ladders, so crews have both stable footing and a backup if footing fails.
