INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
WARNING
• Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a fall arrest event.
Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an individuals ability to withstand fall
arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals considered minors must not use any SAFEWAZE™
equipment.
• Never alter any part of a anchor or add/remove components. SAFEWAZE™ shall not be held
responsible for injury or death due to tampering.
• Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed from service and
destroyed.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or death in the event
of a fall.
• A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be specific to
the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or to be promptly rescued
by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any SAFEWAZE™ anchor must be compatible in size
and configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, carabiners and other connectors. Any
connection which could allow disengagement must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be
self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will be
conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential fall
hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment
to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
• SAFEWAZE™ Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least every 12 months
by a Competent Person. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of conditions during use
may neccesitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the 019-4006 Roof Anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not
limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme
heat exposure, or missing or illegible labels. If any deficiencies or defects are found, the 019-4006 must
IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The 019-4006 Roof Anchor must be inspected at least every 12 months by a Competent Person other
than the user. Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in this
manual and on the inspection grid label on the 019-4006.
• The 019-4006 Roof Anchor has two energy absorbing regions and two stabilizing joins which hold the
eyelet in place during use. If these energy absorbing regions are expanded / deformed, this will indicate
that the anchor has arrested a fall. Additionally, if either of the two stabilizing joins are broken, this would
also indicate that the 019-4006 has arrested a fall.
• The eyelet on the 019-4006 should be straight and inline with the anchor and the fall of the roof. If the
eyelet is distorted or deformed, this will indicate that the 019-4006 has arrested a fall.
• Visually inspect the water repellent membrane on the underside of the 019-4006 to ensure it is not
torn, damaged, and has remained in place.
INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

Excess water should be blown out with compressed air. Hardware can be wiped off with a clean, dry
cloth.

LABELS
1. Under guidance of a Competent or Qualified Person, a suitable anchor point must be chosen that
meets the strength requirement, minimizes free fall, and reduces swing fall hazards. Do not work above
the anchorage point.
2. The 019-4006 Roof Anchor can be installed on any structure that meets the strength requirements as
defined in the SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS section of this manual for Personal Fall Arrest.
3. The 019-4006 Roof Anchor should be installed parallel with the roof sheets. It is recommended the
019-4006 be installed on the high section of the roofing panel aligned with the fall of the
roof. (See Figure 6) The 019-4006 can be installed into the pan of the roofing panels, but user should
ensure that an area where debris or leaves can collect is not created.
4. Drill (7) x 8 mm holes into the roof sheets through the pre-drilled holes on the 019-4006.
5. Secure the 019-4006 Roof anchor to the roof by riveting through the holes in the 019-4006 and the
roof sheet using the supplied 8 mm rivets. Minimum metal thickness required is 25 gauge (.455 mm)
6. The 019-4006 is best suited for use on roof pitches up to 30°. For roof pitches greater than 30°, the
019-4006 should be used in conjunction with other access methods to ensure there is no live loading of
the anchor. The 019-4006 are not designed for rappelling or lifting operations. Exposure of the
019-4006 to a live load could trigger the energy absorbing regions.
7. The 019-4006 is suitable for use with Horizontal Lifeline Systems.
8. The 019-4006 Roof Anchor can be removed and re-used unless the anchor is damaged or has
experienced Fall Arrest Forces. If either of these conditions exist, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY
removed from service and destroyed.
9. The 019-4006 is designed as a fall arrest anchorage for a single user with a maximum weight capacity
of 310 lbs. including tools and equipment. If two 019-4006 Roof Anchors are used for installation of a
Horizontal Lifeline System, the system can accomodate up to two users.
10. The allowable working radius of the 019-4006 Roof Anchor is 360°. The 019-4006 is
Multi-Directional, and will arrest a fall from any direction relative to the anchor. (See Figure 8)

•
If installing the 019-4006 Roof Anchor on a clip down style metal roof, the anchor must not be installed
any closer than 6.55 ft (2 m) from an edge unless addtional securing of the roof sheeting is made.
• Additional securing of the roof sheets can be made with 12 gauge roofing screws through the roof
sheeting into the purlin / batten. Four 12 gauge roofing screws should be fastened above the anchor,
and four installed below the anchor. This secures the roof sheeting in place to the purlins / battens, and
prevents horizontal movement in the event of a fall. (See Figure 7)
