HOW TO: Roof Safety & Fall Protection - CentraFlo

Discussing roof safety and fall protection. This is a complex system high line rope operation that we set up for a large 2 story tile roof.
Fall arrest and fall restraint systems are very important in keeping you and your crew safe while working on a roof. Learn how to setup a rope system with a harness so you work safely on a roof.
All our Techs at CentraFlo Pressure Cleaning carry either 40 hr Rope Operator level Certificate or 80 hr Rope Technician level Certificate. We take safety very seriously and practice what we preach. David is safety chairmen for the UAMCC and teaches classes on Ladder Safety, Roof Safety, and Rope Operations.

Hey Dave, do you by chance have any updated videos walking through the whole set up process? Displaying the ground tie off etc. Also, what size rope do you use & any recommendations brand of rope or where to purchase.

[@ramirodiaz4907]

I think they should be mandatory on new homes but anchored to the frame and made out of galvanized

[@rodmills4071]

I think i saw a shock absorber on your lanyard....if so it goes on the harness end of the set up. 🤔🤨😉🤗😎

[@dannyg2925]

Thank you!! You wouldn't believe how many people do that ,they make the damn rops with the slide on the opposite end of the shock absorber now days lol

[@MyBigThing2010]

That Gibbs line is great when you can't anchor both sides of your line viz a Prussick is garbage on a slacked line

[@age_of_reason]

What's the point of the Prussick when the Gibbs device does the same exact thing. Is it just to gain more working distance from the safety rope?

[@CharlieWayneAdventures]

Sure would like more details on this, such as the tie off points, getting ur rope Tite, etc.

[@CentraFlo]

The next opportunity I get, I will make a better video. I would like to do a series on roof safety and have several videos showing different types of rope operations, anchors, systems, etc.. and show how to set them up. Keep checking in and hopefully we can get something put together that you can find more useful.

CentraFlo Pressure Cleaning & Roof Cleaning , man that would be most appreciated. We're on West Coast FL, and my ultimate goal is to spray roofs from the ground.

[@CharlieWayneAdventures]

We're do you attend those rope courses here in FL?

[@CentraFlo]

+CharlieWayne2012 I have taken both "rope operations" and "rope technician" which are 40 hrs each... we have considered offering and teaching a condensed course for those that want to learn. My best recommendation would be to join a local Florida Pressure Washers page I created on Facebook.. "FPW - Florida pressure Washers". Lots of great info. Until we figure out more with offering classes or more videos, join that FB group and subscribe to this channel for updates.

Thank you

[@abed6266]

how can do that on a laminate roof ? i new to roofin???

[@UFGator1972]

I do not believe that an OSHA inspector will be very happy with this setup. I will not recommend the use of a fall arrest system (lanyard with a shock absorber), because you might not have enough free fall distance (required fall clearance distance = length of the lanyard + deceleration distance + height of the suspended worker + safety factor).
