A device configured for use with a safety lanyard for preventing at least one worker from falling from a roof. The device includes a rod for insertion through roof decking, a hook for engagement with a joist below the roof decking, a plate for abutment against the roof decking, a locking means for tightening the plate against the roof decking, and a fastener for fastening a safety lanyard to the device, thereby anchoring the at least one worker to the roof.

In at least one embodiment, a rooftop rigging support system mounts to a roof a building for suspending a load under an eave of the building. In some embodiments, the rooftop rigging support system comprises an arm that extends outward over the eave and then back inward underneath the eave. In some embodiments, the arm is a generally rigid, non-articulating structure. In some embodiments, the arm can be manually pivoted between a deployed position reaching under the eave and a withdrawn position extending above the roof.

The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.

A tip over post includes a stanchion. The stanchion includes an annular cylinder. The annular cylinder includes a number of cuts defined along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. A stanchion includes an annular cylinder. The annular cylinder includes a number of helical cuts defmed along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The helical cuts comprise a number of perforations located along the helical cuts. The load the stanchion is to bear is based at least in part on the number of perforations located along the helical cuts. A method of arresting a fall includes installing a tip over post, and arresting a fall using the moment and linear expansion of the annular cylinder. The tip over post includes an annular cylinder including a number of helical cuts defined along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The helical cuts comprise a number of perforations located along the helical cuts.

A fixing device adapted to be fixed on a structure is disclosed, which includes a connecting member, a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and a hanging ring. The connecting member has a base, a first bar, a second bar, and a third bar. The first bar and the second bar are respectively engaged with two sides of the base. The third bar is engaged with the base. The first and the second fixing plates respectively have a body adapted to be fixed on the structure, and two sleeves respectively fit around the first bar and the second bar, whereby the first and the second fixing plates are pivotable relative to the connecting member. The hanging ring is engaged with the third bar in a rotatable manner. Whereby, the first and the second fixing plates could be engaged with the structure to provide a firm supporting point.

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 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.

An apparatus and method for supporting at least one article on a roof. The system comprises a central body extending along an axis having a top surface, a pair of legs extending away from the axis of from the central body and a passage extending through the central body parallel to the axis. The method comprises adjusting the angle of the pair of legs to correspond to the slope of the roof and positioning the central body above a ridge with a tensile member passing through a bore therein.

A safety device for securing a person to a floor panel of a shuttering system. A base element secures a safety post. The base element can be placed on a floor panel of a shuttering system. The safety post has a personal safety element, to which the person can be selectively secured. A securing mechanism has a securing carrier, on which at least one engaging element is arranged, wherein the securing carrier is coupled to the base element. The engaging element can be adjusted into a securing position and a release position, wherein the engaging element can be engaged with the shuttering system in the securing position in order to fix the base element to the floor panel, and wherein the engaging element can be decoupled from the shuttering system in the release position in order to decouple the base element from the floor panel.

A toggle includes a bearer plate which defines a surface for bearing, in use, against the confronting surface of a support structure and a pair of support plates secured to the bearer plate and spaced apart to pivotally support there between a barrel, the barrel being integral with or connectable to a connector whereby, in use, the connector may secure the toggle bearer plate against the confronting surface of a support structure, at least the bearer plate of the toggle being formed from mild steel. There is provided also an assembly of the toggle and a support member, with the connector extending through the support member to secure the bearer plate against a confronting surface of the support member.
