The three images above show proper use of tight ropes and sternal fall arrest rings as two candidates in our Roofing Safety Level Program learn to install our V-5 permanent roof anchor.  Notice in the 3rd photo how the use of Petzl's ASAP LOCK allows the candidate to keep both hands free while descending.  Contact us for custom Petzl gear orders and pricing.

20 minutes of set up, provided us with 100% fall protection from the first step off the ground for this 2 story hip metal roof - exceeding OSHA's requirements. Zero roof penetrations or roof anchors used. 20/20 ROOFTOP SAFETY CLUB members have access to the 10 minute video.
