A roof anchor including a mounting portion including a plurality of holes formed therein and an anchor portion having an opening formed therein. The mounting portion and the anchor portion are planar members arranged substantially perpendicular with each other. The anchor portion is disposed along one side of the mounting portion with a bend portion formed at an intersection of the mounting portion and the anchor portion. The mounting portion and the anchor portion form a monolithic piece. The opening includes a lower edge and an upper edge, wherein the lower edge is closer to the mounting portion than the upper edge, and wherein a length of the lower edge is greater than a length of the upper edge.

A lockable anti-fall catch connector includes a catch member, a locking shaft, and a locker unit. The catch member includes a retention arm and two sleeve members provided at two ends of the retention arm, wherein a first locking portion is provided at one of the sleeve members. The locking shaft is slidably extended between the sleeve members, wherein the locking shaft has a second locking portion detachably coupled with the first locking portion to lock up the locking shaft at the retention arm. The locker unit includes a locking element slidably coupled at one of the sleeve members to engage with the locking shaft, wherein after said locking element is disengaged with the locking shaft, the locking shaft is actuated to disengage the second locking portion with the first locking portion in order to slide the locking shaft with respect to the catch member.

A support tower is equipped with a plurality of step-bolts, each of which comprises (1) a threaded portion that is attached to a pre-existing hole in the tower and (2) a shaft portion that extends outward from the tower. The shaft portion of each of the step-bolts includes an undercut section that is sized to match (with minimal clearance) the throat of a corresponding carabiner, which is attached to a safety harness worn by the user. The remainder of the shaft portion of the step-bolt is larger in diameter than the throat of the carabiner so that the carabiner cannot slide out toward the free end of the step-bolt.

A frame, one or more wheels rotationally attached to the frame, two or more end feet attached to opposite ends of the frame, one or more end safety tether attachments, and a flip-pole attachment. The frame straddles the roof peak so the end feet are stably positioned on opposite roof surfaces. The wheels enable the device, when flipped to its inverted position, to be rolled up and down the roof for installation and removal. The flip-pole attachment enables attachment of a flip pole for use in installing and removing the device from a ladder. And the end tether attachments enable workers to couple their safety tethers to the secured device so that if they fall their fall will be arrested for safety. In typical embodiments, an outrigger assembly is included with peak-mounting side feet for nesting on the roof peak and with side tether attachments for side attachment.

A safety-harness attachment for attaching a safety harness thereto.

A mount plate for a fall protection system includes a first wing, the first wing having a first body portion and a first flange perpendicular to the first body portion. The mount plate further includes a second wing, the second wing having a second body portion and a second flange perpendicular to the second body portion. The mount plate also includes a pivot pivotably connecting the first body portion to the second body portion and a through-hole configured to accommodate a slip sleeve of a lifeline tower.

A mounting device includes a first arm, a second arm positioned parallel to the first arm, and a top plate coupled to the first arm and the second arm. The top plate includes a center portion, a first coupling panel formed at a 90 degree angle with respect to a surface of the center portion, and a second coupling panel formed at a 90 degree angle with respect to a surface of the center portion. The second coupling panel is located at a side of the center portion opposite the first coupling panel.

The present invention includes a safety apparatus and method for protecting users during maintenance operations for a rotorcraft comprising: at least one permanent, semi-permanent, or detachable safety bar, strap, fastener, hook, or loop that is attached or attachable to a rotorcraft, wherein the safety bar, strap, fastener, hook, or loop is positioned in an area or surface between a windshield of the rotorcraft and a tail boom of the rotorcraft and is connectable to a user safety device to provide fall protection from the area or surface.

A roof attachment system and methods of using same during the installation, maintenance, or repair of a roof on a commercial or residential building structure. The roof attachment system and the related methods of using and implementing the system include, among other things, an anchor or internal support assembly, and a hook or securement assembly. The roof attachment system enables the installer to utilize at least one internal support assembly, or at least one internal support assembly and the securement assembly to install the roof, depending upon the installation stage of the roof. Upon completion of the installation process, the roof includes multiple concealed internal support assemblies that provide multiple anchor points that are spaced an appreciable distance apart along the ridgeline of the roof. When the roof requires maintenance or repair, the securement assembly can be removably coupled to a specific internal support assembly to facilitate the maintenance or repair by a technician while also reducing the chances that the technician experiences a fall from the roof.

A personal safety apparatus and systems include a mast connected to a base. The mast includes a plurality of mast sections and is vertically extendable from the base between a collapsed position and an extended position. A jib is rotatably connected to the mast. The jib is moveable between a first position wherein the jib is generally parallel to the mast and a second position wherein the jib extends outward from the mast. The jib includes a first jib arm and a second jib arm. The second jib arm is moveable relative to the first jib arm. An anchor point is secured to the jib. The anchor point is configured to connect to a cable configured to secure to a person.
