As a business owner or property manager, you’ll need workers to access your roof at some point or another. Whether to perform routine maintenance, do repairs or to simply clean it. When the time comes, the responsibility is on you to ensure the safety of anyone who sets foot on your roof.

Roof Anchor Systems Prevents Injuries

Let’s face it, rooftops are full of safety hazards. These may include an unstable roof, losing awareness of the edge, poor line of sight, improper training or equipment, as well as weather conditions.

A high-quality roof anchor system will prevent serious injury should the roof collapse or if a human error occurs. Under no circumstances should a person be allowed on the roof if proper training wasn’t given and the right equipment isn’t being used.

Roof Anchor Systems Save Lives

Too many lives have been lost due to a lack of proper fall prevention. The roof is no place to take chances with one’s life. Not only will you, the business owner or property manager, always carry the guilt of a lost life, but you will most certainly face extensive punishments in the form of lawsuits.

OSHA doesn’t beat around the bushes when it comes to roof safety. Every worker on a working/walking surface, both vertical and horizontal, with an unprotected edge or side, more than 1.8m above the lower level has to be protected with roof safety equipment.

Fall protection includes safety net systems, guardrail systems and personal fall arrest systems. That said, it will depend on your unique circumstances how you protect your workers against accidents. One of the most popular fall protection options is roof lifeline systems.

Now that you know you might need a roof lifeline system, how do you go about choosing the right one? Since every worksite is unique, they may require a different roof safety solution. Even when it comes to roof lifeline systems, there are various options to choose from. We can not stress enough how vital it is that you install and configure the right fall protection solution for your unique job site.

Below are some questions to ask that might help you make the right choice:

• Do workers need to be on the roof indefinitely or is this a one-time/short-term solution?
• How close do employees need to be to the edge of the roof?
• Are there any holes in the roof (air outlets or skylights) that would require added safety measures such as guardrails?
• Is the roof sloped or flat?
• How many workers will this lifeline need to support?
• Will workers need access to the entire roof or will they only stay in one area?
• Do you need to anchor the lifeline to the floor, ceiling or wall?

We know how important curb appeal is to any business owner, especially if clients visit your premises on a regular basis. But, equally important is what goes on behind the scenes — keeping your roof in great condition and how safe your workers are when performing this task.

How much do you and your employees know about roof safety? Do you comply with all the rules and regulations put in place by OSHA? Below are three excellent reasons to invest in a new roof anchor system this year.

You’ve Never Done an Upgrade

You moved into your premises a few years ago and to be honest, you don’t even know if there’s a roof safety system installed let alone if it’s in working condition. Did you know that you are putting the lives of anyone who have to work on your roof — whether they’re cleaning it or doing repairs — at risk?

Your Safety System Doesn’t Comply with Regulations

Your roof anchor system is there but it’s old and probably doesn’t adhere to OSHA regulations. But, you’re hoping nothing serious happens and that the regulators don’t do an unexpected inspection. Better to not leave things to chance, upgrade your system asap.

You Want to Ensure the Safety of Your Workers

You realise that the safety of your employees is much more important than saving a few rands that will come back to bite you in the behind anyway.

 

Speaking of costs, a quality roof anchor system doesn’t have to break the bank. Not if you use African Anchor Systems to manage your installation. But, don’t think for one second we use cheap products because that simply isn’t true.
