TRANSITION FROM LADDER TO ROOF

When you are transitioning from the ladder to the roof:
1.  Connect the lanyard that is attached to the rear D on harness to the rope grab, ensuring a secure connection
2.  Then remove the front loop connection from the rope grab
3.  The rope grab should be located far enough back from the edge to prevent a fall

 

„

A full body harness is used as a best practice with front 

connection points for the rope grab to be attached with a 

karabiner

 

„

Lanyard to be connected to rear D prior to climbing to roof

 

„

The rope has been placed over the roof and tied off at the base 

of the ladder. The ladder has also been secured to the gutter

 

„

PROTECTION WHILE CLIMBING OR DESCENDING  

A LADDER

 

„

Roofers Kits are used with either a 2m adjustable shock 

absorbing lanyard or shock absorber alone

 

„

The best practice is to set the rope grab the distance of the 

lanyard back from the edge of the roof

 

„

Make sure that the rope line is taut from the Anchor Point
