• This equipment must only be used on structures capable of supporting static loads applied in all directions permitted by the fall arrest system of at least 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN).
• Thoroughly evaluate and plan all elements of fall protection systems before using this equipment. Make sure that your PFAS is appropriate for your needs and facility. Users must have a rescue plan and the means to implement it. This plan must provide prompt employee rescue or ensure that employees have the ability to rescue themselves in the event of a fall.
• This equipment must be removed from service immediately if a fall is incurred.
• To minimize the potential for accidental disengagement, a Competent Person must ensure system compatibility.

• Only use components rated for the same weight capacity or Higher. Not all fall protection components are rated for the same user weight capacity.
• Evaluate space below work area to ensure potential fall path is clear of obstructions. Allow adequate fall clearance below the work surface.
• Do not use or install equipment without proper training from a “Competent Person”.
• Store this equipment in a cool, dry, and clean environment that is out of direct sunlight when not in use.

Connection Compatibility Limitations

All equipment must be coupled only to compatible connectors that are suitable to your application. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked. Prohibit the use of snap hooks to engage to objects unless the following requirements are met:

• It must be a locking type snap hook.
• It must be explicitly designed for such a connection. “Designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snap hook specifically created the snap hook to be used to connect to the equipment in question.

Use of a non-locking snap hook can result in rollout*. Snap hooks and carabiners are designed to be used only as specified in each product’s user instructions. See as following shown for inappropriate connections.

Avoid the following type of connections:

• Connection of two (or more) snap hooks/rebar hooks or carabiners to one D-ring.
• Connection of a snap hook/rebar hook back to its integral lanyard.
• Direct connection of a snap hook/rebar hook to horizontal lifeline.
• Connection in a manner that results in a load on the gate.
• False engagement connections, where protruding features of the snap hook/rebar hook or carabiner may catch on the anchor and seem to be fully engaged to the anchor point. Always confirm engagement.
• Connection to snap hooks or carabiners.
• Do not connect a snap hook/rebar hook into a loop or thimble of a wire rope or attach in any way to a slack wire rope.
• Direct connection to webbing lanyard, webbing loop, rope lanyard or tie-back. (Unless the manufacturer’s instructions for both the lanyard and connector specifically allow such a connection.)
• Connection of a snap hook to a D-ring, rebar or other connection point of improper dimensions in relation to the snap hook dimensions or configurations that could cause the snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snap hook, or such that snap hook or carabiner will not fully close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
• Snap hook/rebar hook must be free to align with applied load as intended.
• Carabiner may be connected to a loop or ring connector already occupied by a choker style connector. This type of connection is prohibited for snap hooks/rebar hooks.

Performance

The performance of equipment in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z359.18-2017.

Installation

A| Roof Ridge| No more than 8’ of spacing between roof anchors installed on Roof Ridges
---|---|---
B| Hip Face| At least one roof anchor on each Hip Face
C| Roof Edge| No less than 6’ from an exposed Roof Edge

When multiple roof anchors are installed, the strength (static load) above must be met at each roof anchor’s installation point independently. Anchorages used for attachment of a personal fall arrest system shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms, and must support at least 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) per user attached; or be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two, and is supervised by a qualified person. When installed as an anchor point on a flat surface or on one side of a peaked roof, the connecting fall arrest subsystem must not extend over the peak of the roof to the other side.
When working on the opposing roof surface, installation of an additional Reusable Roof Anchor is required on that side. Anchor must be positioned to apply load in the long axis of the anchor bracket. After removal of the Reusable Roof Anchor, roof surface may require repairs. It is the responsibility of the installer to make applicable repairs to the roof materials. Reusable Roof Anchor can be used on a maximum roof slope of 12/12 pitch.

Attachment:
Center on the ridge of roof framing assembly. Position the anchor on the roof such that the holes along the center of the legs are centered directly over the center of the roof framing member. The roof anchor must be positioned over top of previously secured roof sheathing (do not attach directly to rafter or truss).

Installation of 14427
The 6 center holes and 1 row of the outer holes on each leg must be used. The 6 center holes must be centered on the framing section and the 5 outer holes must penetrate through substrate. At least 22 nails must be used as shown below. It was fixed using nails measuring 92mm length & 3.8mm diameter.

Installation of 14428
All holes on each leg must be used, so 18 nails must be used as shown below. It was fixed using nails measuring 92mm length & 3.8mm diameter.

Loading Direction Limitation

Training

Employers are responsible for providing training to any employee who may be exposed to fall hazards in order to enable the employee to recognize and reduce fall hazards. Training must be conducted by a Competent or Qualified Person. Trainer and trainees must not be exposed to fall hazards during the training course.

Inspection

If inspection reveals any defect, inadequate maintenance, or unsafe condition, remove Reusable Roof Anchor from service immediately. Any Roof Anchor that has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed from service immediately.

The inspection should be carried out according to the following steps:

1. Step 1 : Inspect Roof Anchor for physical damage, e.g. any signs of cracks, dents, or deformity. Check for bending or bowing of roof anchor legs.
2. Step 2 : Inspect Roof Anchor for signs of corrosion.
3. Step 3 : Ensure the condition of the roof anchor is capable of supporting Roof Anchor load. Do not connect any Roof Anchor to rotten or degraded wood; do not use any Roof Anchor connected to rotten or degraded wood.
4. Step 4 : Ensure Roof Anchor remains securely attached. If Roof Anchor is loose, do not use.
5. Step 5 : Inspect each system component or subsystem per associated manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Step 6 : Record the inspection date and results in your inspection log.

If inspection reveals any defective condition, remove from service immediately.

Frequency
All equipment must be visually inspected prior to each use according to the manufacturer’s instructions included at time of shipment. Inspections must be performed by a Competent Person other than the user a minimum of once per year. Record the results of each formal inspection in your inspection log.
