A fall arrest roof mount anchor is designed to secure construction and maintenance personnel working at heights, utilising harness and lanyard fall protection equipment. The roof mount anchor comprises a mounting plate having a uniform cross-section defining a raised central portion and side portions for roof attachment. The raised central portion has a swivel eye anchor point for attachment of conventional height safety harness hardware.

An anchoring bracket that secures a safety line includes a pair of anchoring plates, a ridge cap member, and at least one D-ring connector. Each of the anchoring plates is hingedly connected the ridge cap member on opposite sides thereof and the D-ring connection member is rotatably connected to a top side member of the ridge cap member. Each of the anchoring plates includes first and second leg members having a plurality of boreholes therethrough. The anchoring plates may be opened to be placed on a flat roof or over a roof peak and secured to one or more structural members of the roof, e.g., roof rafters, trusses, joists, or Z-purlins, as well as portions of the roof decking, using appropriate fasteners in accordance with one or more safety regulations or protocols, e.g., local, OSHA, ANSI.
