Why Are Compatible Fall Protection Anchors Critical For Majestic Metals Roofs?
To ensure OSHA compliance while protecting the roof's structural and watertight integrity, we recommend the following specialized components:
- Standing Seam Roof Anchor (SSRA1): This anchor serves as the foundation of the safety system. It clamps securely to Majestic Metals standing seams without drilling, preserving the roof's warranty and weathertight seal.
- SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jacks: These mount directly to the SSRA1 to support walkboards. This setup provides workers with a stable, level platform for safely navigating sloped roofs.
- SSRA3 Anchor Plates: These aluminum spanner plates create attachment points for temporary horizontal lifelines, facilitating 100% tie-off compliance for multiple workers.
- 100-Foot SSRA Temporary HLL Kit: This kit provides a complete, non-penetrating lifeline solution for rapid deployment on expansive Majestic Metals industrial projects.
- 120-Foot Super Anchor Permanent HLL Kit: This system provides a permanent, non-penetrating cable solution for long-term facility maintenance using 5-inch galvanized steel riser posts.
- Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor: This anchor hooks securely over the roof peak to provide a reliable tie-off point for slopes between 6:12 and 12:12 where seam-mounted anchors may not be compatible.
Proper Attachment: Set Screws and Torque Requirements
Your safety and the SSRA1 anchor's certified holding power depend on correct set screw application. We provide specialized fastening options based on the material gauge of your Majestic Metals panels:
- Cupped-Tip Stainless Steel Set Screws: Use these exclusively on 22-gauge steel panels. Torque them to 90 inch-pounds for a secure, non-destructive lock.
- Nylon-Tipped Set Screws: Apply these to 22- or 24-gauge steel panels to achieve certified holding power. Torque them to 180–200 inch-pounds for maximum strength.
- Maintenance: Treat nylon tips as consumables. Replace them every 3 to 5 uses to ensure they maintain the necessary coefficient of friction.
CRITICAL WARNING: NO IMPACT GUNS
Never use an impact gun to install set screws. Over-torquing with an impact driver will crush the standing seam, damage the anchor hardware, and void the Majestic Metals manufacturer's warranty. Always use a calibrated torque wrench for final installation.
Regal SnapLock Panels (SSRA Compatible 22/24 ga. Steel)
The Regal Snap Lock panel series from Majestic Metals provides a durable standing-seam roofing solution for residential and commercial applications. These panels feature a rib height of 1 inch or 1.5 inches and a coverage width of 12 to 20 inches. Majestic Metals manufactures these panels from 24-gauge and 22-gauge Galvalume steel, as well as aluminum, copper, and zinc. The snaplock design streamlines installation, eliminating the need for mechanical seaming while ensuring a weathertight connection. See the Roof Anchor Compatibility Chart for Majestic Metals Regal SnapLock Standing Seam Metal Roofing.
Fall Protection for Regal Snap Lock Panels
- SSRA1 Seam Anchor: Provides the primary certified, non-penetrating tie-off point for 22/24 gauge steel Regal Snap Lock seams.
- SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack: Mounts to the SSRA1 to support walkboards for stable staging.
- SSRA3 Anchor Plate: Integrates with the SSRA1 to facilitate temporary horizontal lifeline attachment.
- 100-Foot SSRA Temporary HLL Kit: The primary solution for multi-worker mobility across expansive Regal SnapLock rooflines.
- 120-Foot Super Anchor Permanent HLL Kit: Provides a permanent cable-safety solution for recurring facility maintenance.
- Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor: The designated solution for aluminum or copper Regal panels, or steep slopes where seam-mounting is not applicable.
Regal Nailstrip Panels (Ridge Pro Only)
The Majestic Regal Nailstrip panel provides an efficient roofing solution tailored for residential and light commercial applications. Majestic Metals produces this concealed fastener system in 26-gauge steel with seam heights of 1 inch or 1.5 inches. Installers use pancake head fasteners through slotted holes along the fastening flange, which allows for thermal movement. Because the Regal Nailstrip panel utilizes a nailstrip flange rather than a traditional standing seam, it requires a ridge-based fall protection strategy. See the Roof Anchor Compatibility Chart for Majestic Metals Regal Nailstrip Standing Seam Metal Roofing.
Fall Protection for Regal Nailstrip Panels
- Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor: This non-penetrating anchor hooks securely over the roof peak, providing the primary tie-off point for Regal Nailstrip panels.
- Ridge Pro Safety Solution: The Ridge Pro ensures 100% tie-off compliance for roof pitches between 6:12 and 12:12 without damaging the hidden fastener assembly or the lightweight 26-gauge panels.
American Engineering vs. Bargain Imports
When you install high-performance Majestic Metals systems, your choice of fall protection hardware reflects your commitment to quality. Unbranded, imported fall protection anchors are flooding the American market. Lower price points and promises of a universal fit often tempt contractors into making risky purchasing decisions.
To truly satisfy OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359.18 standards, an ISO 17025 testing lab must demonstrate compliance by performing lab tests on the equipment. No-name imports cannot provide the ISO 17025 lab verification required to guarantee performance under stress.
By choosing the SSRA system, you are investing in a legacy of domestic excellence, as we design, test, and manufacture every component here in the United States. This commitment ensures your equipment will withstand a fall and protects your business from the massive liabilities of non-certified gear.

Safety Tips For Standing Seam Roofs
- Equip Workers with High-Quality Safety Gear: Providing workers with reliable, well-fitting safety gear is fundamental to preventing injuries. Harnesses, lanyards, and fall arrest systems should meet OSHA standards.
- Set Up Protective Guardrail Barriers for Work Zones: Guardrails and warning lines create a physical and visual boundary that helps workers stay within safe zones.
- Develop OSHA-Compliant Safety Plans: A thorough safety plan should be the backbone of every roofing project. Clearly define fall protection measures, emergency procedures, and rescue protocols.
- Install Permanent Roof Anchor Systems: For buildings requiring frequent maintenance, installing permanent roof anchors streamlines safety procedures and provides a long-term solution.
- Prioritize Ladder Safety Training: Teach workers how to stabilize ladders, maintain three points of contact, and follow the 4-to-1 rule for base-to-height ratios.
- Use Specialized Anchor Systems for Standing Seam Roofs: Standing seam roofs require non-penetrating anchors that clamp securely to the seams without causing damage.
- Ensure Proper Footwear for Stability: Wearing slip-resistant, durable footwear is essential. Proper shoes enhance grip and prevent slips on steep or slick surfaces.
- Encourage the Use of Trauma Straps: Trauma straps are crucial for preventing suspension trauma after a fall by improving circulation while awaiting rescue.
- Consult Experts for Curved Metal Panels: Curved roof systems present unique challenges that require specialized fall protection solutions to preserve architectural integrity.
- Promote a Culture of Safety: Regular training, open discussions about hazards, and an easy-to-use reporting system encourage workers to stay vigilant.
