The V-18 permanent ridge anchor, freshly installed on this 1908 home prior to beginning slate roof restoration.
The anchor is rated for a 5,000 pound loading in any direction.

Craftsmen: Grow old in the career you love. Anchor in every job. One fall from any height can ruin your career, or worse.
Specify permanent anchors to be installed during renovations, maintenance, and designed into new construction projects.
Building/Home Owners: Your building/roof requires maintenance.
What are the consequences of an injury or fatality on your property?
It depends on who fell (owner, employee, subcontractor, other), why they fell, how badly they were hurt, and perhaps how deep your pockets seem. It's never good.
Is it reasonable to expect each worker to be an expert in fall protection and install their own anchor points on your building?
No. Fall Protection evaluation and installation is a hybrid of engineering, construction and climbing talents. Fall protection, "Lack of training." is one of the most frequent OSHA citations. OSHA requires fall protection anytime a potential fall hazard is greater than six feet.
What will the worker do to your roof if they install a temporary anchor point?
OSHA's general anchor point requirement is that the anchor must successfully resist a 5,000 pound load per worker attached.
It takes extensive construction knowledge, and a specific skill set to install anchors properly, and even more skill and gear to maintain safety while installing the anchor point. Every penetration in a roof, every new hole ... is another potential leak point. Even skilled roofers do not want to put additional holes in a roof.
Will the workers go without fall protection entirely or install and use a temporary anchor improperly?
Unfortunately, this is likely. Falls off roofs remain a leading cause of death and injury in the workplace.
Be proactive. Avoid unnecessary trouble and help each worker have safe working conditions.
