Bucket of Safe-Tie 50 ft Rooftop Safety Kit
The Guardian 00815 Bucket of Safe-Tie packs a complete, OSHA-compliant personal fall arrest system into one reusable 3.5-gallon bucket. Designed by roofers for roofers, the kit includes a Velocity full-body harness with five-point adjustability, a 50 ft poly steel rope vertical lifeline assembly with a built-in energy absorber and an ergonomic steel rope grab, and a reusable zinc-plated steel Temper roof anchor with mounting hardware included.
One worker opens the bucket, installs the anchor, and ties off in minutes. The anchor carries a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs, and the system supports workers from 130 to 310 lbs under ANSI and 130 to 420 lbs under OSHA, including clothing and tools. Compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140, with the harness certified to ANSI Z359.11 and the anchor to ANSI Z359.18.
Who Needs This Product
This kit is built for residential and light commercial roofers who need a complete single-worker fall arrest system that travels from job to job. Everything required to tie off on a pitched roof ships in one bucket: the anchor fastens over the ridge or into the field, the 50 ft lifeline drapes down the slope, and the rope grab connects the harness to the line so the worker can move up and down the roof with continuous protection. If you already own a harness or lifeline and only need the anchor, the Guardian Temper anchor is also available separately.
Features
Complete fall protection kit
Includes all essential components for safe, OSHA-compliant rooftop work: harness, 50 ft vertical lifeline assembly, reusable roof anchor, and mounting hardware in one 3.5-gallon bucket.
Ergonomic steel rope grab
The steel positioning device travels the lifeline for smooth, controlled movement along the roof, allowing the worker to reposition without disconnecting.
Durable poly steel rope
The 50 ft vertical lifeline resists cuts, abrasion, and moisture for long-term reliability in harsh jobsite environments, with a built-in energy absorber to limit arrest forces.
Adjustable Velocity harness
Five-point adjustability provides a wide range of workers with a secure, comfortable fit from a single universal-size harness with pass-through chest and leg buckles.
Reusable Temper roof anchor
The zinc-plated steel anchor installs over the peak or on the field of the roof and may be removed and reused on the next job with new fasteners.
Jobsite-ready storage bucket
The 3.5-gallon bucket protects the gear between jobs, keeps the rope clean, and doubles as a carry container that any crew member can grab off the truck.

Install the anchor per the manual. The Temper anchor must lie flush against the substrate with every required fastener hole filled: 6 fasteners per side into a truss or 16 fasteners per side into sheathing, using new fasteners on every installation. Maximum free fall is 6 ft, and the supporting structure must withstand 5,000 lbs or maintain a 2:1 safety factor. Always verify fall clearance below the work surface before anyone ties off.

Typical Applications
Setup Overview
Setup must follow the Guardian instruction manuals included with the kit. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the harness webbing and hardware, the rope, the energy absorber, the rope grab, the anchor, and all labels before every use.
- Install the anchor. Position the Temper anchor over the roof peak or on the field per the manual, and fill every required fastener hole for your substrate with new fasteners.
- Connect the lifeline. Attach the 50 ft vertical lifeline assembly to the anchor and confirm the connection is closed and locked.
- Don the harness. Put on the Velocity harness, adjust all five points, and confirm the dorsal D-ring sits between the shoulder blades.
- Attach the rope grab. Connect the rope grab and energy absorber to the dorsal D-ring, and verify the grab is oriented correctly on the line.
- Verify clearance. Confirm fall clearance below the work surface and minimize swing fall hazards by working in line with the anchor.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect every component before each use, and have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least every six months under ANSI Z359.2 practice. Remove the kit from service for any of the conditions below.
- Harness: cut, frayed, or abraded webbing, damaged stitching, cracked or deformed hardware, or an illegible label.
- Rope: cuts, abrasion, glazing, chemical damage, or discoloration of the poly steel line.
- Energy absorber: any evidence of deployment or elongation.
- Rope grab: cracks, corrosion, or a locking mechanism that does not engage the rope positively.
- Anchor: warping, cracks, corrosion, or an anchor that does not lie flush against the substrate.
- Labels: must be intact and legible on every component, with inspections current.
Retirement triggers: any fall event on any component, evidence of energy absorber deployment, or any condition where the inspector cannot positively verify the equipment is fit for service.
