chimney sweeps.  Solar installers.  roofers.  hotels.
churches.  governments.  builders.  homeowners.

Imagine how nice it is to climb up to clean a chimney, service a solar panel, do a minor roof repair or perhaps paint a dormer, and when you arrive . . . discover the V-5 permanent anchor is waiting there, ready for your use.  Just clip in and work safely.  Normally these jobs are very hazardous.  The work is high, doesn't take long, and installing temporary fall protection anchors and then repairing the roof can often take longer than the original job.  Therefore, unfortunately, most work without the benefit of fall protection. 
Residential:
  • Clients who anticipate having their roofs/chimneys/solar panels/dormers/siding serviced.  These have generally fallen into two categories.  Category one includes those who care greatly for the safety of the professionals who service their roof and never want an injury/fatality at their home.  Category two includes those who do not want temporary anchors or penetrations in their roof during each service job.  They understand that the up front costs are higher but that strategic permanent anchors are a much better long-term solution.
  • Clients who want fall protection for spouses/family who decide to work on their own roofs.  Often they have husbands, fathers, granddads, significant others who insist on, and enjoy cleaning their own gutters, installing their own Christmas lights, inspecting their own chimneys and generally take pride in doing all their own home maintenance.  Oddly, many of these DIY'ers wear fall protection in their tree stands while hunting, but not while working high around the house.  These clients usually wish the high/dangerous work would be hired out, but know that their significant others will always insist on doing it themselves.  They also tend to be the most grateful for having the anchors installed.
Commercial Clients:
The commercial clients we service are generally intelligent, careful, and forward thinking.  They understand that our employee's safety is top priority and that we utilize proper fall protection 100% of the time.  Providing high quality service to them, is only possible once safe working conditions are created.  They also understand that the law requires every employee who is exposed to a potential fall of 6' or greater be protected with a fall protection system.  They agree that the long-term benefits of permanent fall protection anchors greatly offset the initial up front expense.  They are long-term thinkers and understand the following facts:
  • All roofs and buildings need periodic maintenance.
  • All workers at height (regardless of their specific trade) need to be protected from potential falls.
  • Any contractor without a practiced fall protection plan is disqualified from servicing their properties.
  • Any injury on their premises has an associated expense, and it is usually large.
  • Temporary anchors often create penetrations or damage roofs.
  • Strategic placement of permanent anchors is the best solution for long-term planning.
  • Permanent anchors reduce future maintenance expenses.

The copper plated V-5, shown here on the rear of a home, blends right in and looks like part of the original roof.  It is about the same size as a traditional snow guard.  The worker is currently using it, along with a Petzl Rope Protect to work safely on the front of this home.
