WARNING! Working at or near the roof edge is dangerous and can subject the Worker to serious injury or
death from falls. The Roofing Contractor and the Worker must make every effort to ensure the area where
he/she will be working is as safe as possible. This means taking only the tools you need to the roof edge,
removing all trip hazards and loose material, the wearing and proper use of OSHA approved Harnesses and
Life-Lines, making no sudden or unplanned moves and being constantly aware of your surroundings and
your position/location relative to the roof edge.
It is also imperative that the Worker read the Operators’ Manual for this equipment and thoroughly under-
stand how to set up and use this equipment. This includes knowledge of what the equipment can do and
also how to avoid situations this equipment was not designed to handle. Garlock provides this Operators’
Manual at the time of sale as a tool to help instruct the owner/worker in the proper use of the equipment and
expects the reseller and owner/worker to make every effort to educate themselves before putting this Life
Point Duo Tie-Off System into service.
Garlock recommends that no worker be on the roof or sent to any job or repair site by themselves.
This leaves the worker unaided should an accident occur regardless of its’ nature.
1. OPERATOR PREPARATION:
Read Operators’ Instruction Manual!
Reading and understanding the instructions completely is the first step to safe operation. An uninformed
operator can subject themselves and others to serious injury or death.
NOTICE TO OPERATOR! Make sure you have a thorough knowledge of how to set up and use the Life Point
System, as well as a complete understanding of the systems’ limitations and conditions for use before you
attach yourself to the system. READ THE OPERATORS’ INSTRUCTION MANUAL!
Wear Proper Attire When Roofing
When doing roofing or roofing repair work, wear safety glasses and protective clothing if any cutting, scraping,
or sweeping is being done in your work area. Wear safety shoes. Hard hat must be worn by Worker when
work is being done overhead. When working with hot stuff, long sleeved cotton shirt buttoned at sleeves and
collar must be worn (or other suitable protective clothing). Long pants without cuffs and a face shield are also
required when working with hot bitumen.
2. BEFORE HOISTING OR CARRYING LIFE POINT SYSTEM TO THE ROOF:
Make sure roof is in good condition. It must be able to support the combined weight of the Life Point System
(930 lbs.) plus all material, equipment and personnel which will be near or working near the system.
Be sure to include the Building Owner and/or a certified Architect when making this evaluation.
