To complement the Metalcon show this month, we’re highlighting products made specifically for metal roofing and construction. If you’re not familiar with Metalcon, read our previous post about the show.
Here are the top 7 fall protection products for metal roofing and construction, in random order:

- Guardian #00645 CB-12 Roof Anchor–A permanent roof anchor that is great for use with retractable lifelines, vertical lifelines, rope grab units, or horizontal lifeline systems and can be installed on wood, steel or concrete substrates, including up to 20 ga. metal deck. More information here.

- DBI-Sala #2100075 Roof Top Anchor–During a fall when the Roof Top Anchor is loaded, the stanchion tips over properly distributing the fall arrest forces to the base and fasteners. This specialized design provides added safety to the worker attached and distributes the forces to the structure. By limiting the forces this way, the integrity of the roof is also preserved. This anchor works on 24 gauge or thicker corrugated metal decking with ribs that are 10” to 20” apart, with a minimal amount of fasteners. More information here.

Each leg comes with an omni directional rubber foot that prevents contact with the metal roof’s standing seam. More information here.
- Bluewater Manufacturing SG Standing Seam Metal Roof Fall Protection Guardrail–This fall protection railing and base system is designed for each standing seam roof application and provides mandated worker protection for ladder egress/ingress and roof edge fall protection. The plate is fastened to the standing seams by the appropriate S-5 Clamps. More information here.
