FAQ For Fall Protection Products
OSHA requires employers to provide fall protection at heights of 6 feet or more. A typical roofing safety system includes a certified anchor point, such as the SSRA1. It also requires a full-body harness and a connecting device, such as a shock-absorbing lanyard or a self-retracting lifeline (SRL).
Your choice depends on your work environment and the length of time the harness will be used. For standard roofing, a lightweight 3-point harness is often sufficient. For extended tasks, choose a padded, breathable harness with side D-rings for comfort and positioning.
A shock-absorbing lanyard is a fixed-length connector (a safety strap that attaches a harness to an anchor point). It expands to reduce impact during a fall, but needs significant clearance. A Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) is a device that contains a retractable line and a locking mechanism. It locks instantly, like a seatbelt, limiting a fall to just inches. This makes SRLs the preferred choice for low-clearance areas.

You need two certified end-anchors, such as SSRA1 anchors with SSRA3 plates. You also need a high-strength cable or synthetic rope, along with a tensioning device. This setup allows two workers to stay tied off while moving along the roof. Workers do not have to switch anchor points.
