It replaces the old directive which allowed contractors to not tie off on certain things like setting trusses.
How to tie off on a roof.
Anchor points are usually installed on the roof and are used to connect lanyards lifelines and other forms of tie off which prevent a worker from falling.
Both permanent and temporary roof anchor points are available.
Once on roof reach further up rope and tie a second loop.
That all changes in june when this new directive goes into effect.
At this point there is no more use for the throwing line it can be disconnected from the rope.
Basically everyone falls under osha 1926 standard now.
Roof anchors can be as simple as a d ring connection or as complex as a complete lifeline system.
Now the rope runs over the sloping roof.
Pull the entire throwing line over the roof until the rope is reached.
Tie the adjustable sling around the tree and connect the sling with the rope in order to use the tree as a temporary anchor.
Continue up roof in this way making sure you re stable before unclipping and re clipping.
