There is provided a system to install and remove an anchoring member on an anchorage structure in an overhead area. The system has a pole for providing access to the overhead area. The system further has a positioning arm for attachment to the pole. The positioning arm has a first end, and a second end offset from the first end. The positioning arm further has an elongated body having an outboard portion and an inboard portion, a recessed area formed in the outboard portion, and a dogleg shaped portion formed along the inboard portion. The system further has a safety hook assembly for attachment to the pole. The safety hook assembly has a hook end, and a safety latch mechanism having a safety latch engageable with the hook end. The safety latch mechanism is remotely operated by an operator, via a pull cord attached to the safety latch mechanism.

The present disclosure describes a rigging assembly, comprising a plurality of rig attachment members, each rig attachment member having a top, a bottom, and at least two side walls, wherein each of the at least two side walls comprise an aperture; a cable serially inserted through each of the apertures of the rig attachment members; and at least one tension member having one end coupled to the cable and having an opposite end secured to one of the rig attachment members, wherein the plurality of rig attachment members are held by the cable in tension exerted by the at least one tension member. A rigging and fall protection system are also described.

An anchor support and roof vent for a pitched roof, comprising a support member having a first end and a second end, the support member being sized so that the first end is fixable to a first roof truss and the second end is fixable to a second roof truss, an anchor line attachment fixable to the support member, and a roof vent cover attachable over the anchor support member.

An adjustable beam anchor system comprising a first elongated bar member having a plurality of longitudinally-spaced apertures, an attachment system, a first pivot system, a second pivot system, and a second elongated bar member having a plurality of apertures. The attachment system comprises a saddle and a connector ring. The first pivot system broadly comprising a first coupling unit, a first pivot unit, and a first ball bearing pin, wherein the first pivot system may rotate or pivot around the first elongated bar member. The second pivot system comprising a second coupling unit, a second pivot unit, and a second ball bearing pin, wherein the second pivot system may rotate or pivot around the first elongated bar member. The second elongated bar member comprising a plurality of apertures and an anchor foot, wherein the second elongated bar member may rotate or pivot around the second coupling unit.

A smart fall arrest system is provided and includes a fall arrest device and an intelligent module fixed to the fall arrest device. The intelligent module includes a range finder, a user alert device, a processor and an accelerometer module. The processor is configured to determine a vertical clearance distance underlying a worksite based on signals from the range finder and the accelerometer module, the processor determines if the fall arrest device is appropriate and if the anchor point selected for connecting the fall arrest device is at an appropriate height.

A fall prevention system (FPS) that is placed adjacent a multi-level structure such as a frame building, that is being constructed. The FPS has a lower anchor, at least one vertical member, at least one connecting member and an upper member with or without a horizontal section. The number of vertical members utilized depends on the number of levels the structure has. The vertical members are preferably made of metal and are dimensioned to correspond to either the height of a single structure level, or the height of another structure locations such as a peaked roof. The FPS is secured to the ground surface by bolts inserted through the anchor, and at least one securing cable that is attached to cable securing means on the FPS and to a location on the structure. An individual working on the structure wears a harness to which is secured one end of a harness cable. The other end of the harness cable is attached to the cable securing means on the FPS. If the individual is about to fall from the structure, the harness cable locks, thereby stopping the fall occurring.

In various aspects and embodiments a roofing guard device 200 comprises a mount portion 210, brace portion 220, optional lateral supports 240, and restraint flanges 214, 216, as well as optional fall-arrest mount(s) 230. By securely supporting a foot guard 12 such as a board or plank and providing secure attachment points for roofing harnesses 400 or other fall-arrest devices, the roofing guard device 200 provides increased protection against falls and other mishaps. When configured such that a gap between the foot guard 12 and an edge 101 of the roof 100 is entirely or substantially eliminated, roofing guard devices in accordance with the invention can further help to eliminate dangers from falling tools, hardware, etc.

In various aspects and embodiments a roofing guard device 200, 202 comprises a mount portion 210, optional brace portion 220, lateral supports 240, restraint flanges 214, 216, and fencing post 275 for engagement of fencing panels 300, as well as optional fall-arrest mount 230. By securely supporting fencing 300 and optional foot braces 12, the roofing guard device 200, 202 and corresponding roofing systems reduce the likelihood of workers or materials falling from roofs or other high places.

A mobile anchor cart assembly includes a cart including a frame defining a front side and a rear side, the front side disposed opposite from the rear side, the frame defining a front foot and a rear foot, the front foot and the rear foot configured to rest upon a ground surface when the cart is in an anchored position, the front foot and the rear foot configured to clear the ground surface when the cart is in a mobile position; at least one tie-off point attached to the frame; at least one handle extending outward from the rear side of the frame, the at least one handle configured to selectively position the cart about and between the anchored position and the mobile position; and an axle assembly mounted on the front side; and a load defining a load center of gravity.
