INSPECTION
• Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least every 12 months by
a Competent Person. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of conditions during use may
necessitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the 019-4005 Roof Anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not
limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme
heat exposure, or missing or illegible labels. If any deficiencies or defects are found, the 019-4005 must
IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The 019-4005 Roof Anchor must be inspected at least every 12 months by a Competent Person other
than the user. Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in this
manual and on the inspection grid label on the 019-4005.
• The 019-4005 Roof Anchor has two energy absorbing regions and two stabilizing joins which hold the
eyelet in place during use. If these energy absorbing regions are expanded / deformed, this will indicate
that the anchor has arrested a fall. Additionally, if either of the two stabilizing joins are broken, this would
also indicate that the 019-4005 has arrested a fall.
• The eyelet on the 019-4005 should be straight and inline with the anchor and the fall of the roof. If the
eyelet is distorted or deformed, this will indicate that the 019-4005 has arrested a fall.
• Visually inspect the water repellent membrane on the underside of the 019-4005 to ensure it is not
torn, damaged, and has remained in place.
INSTALLATION
1. Under guidance of a Competent or Qualified Person, a suitable anchor point must be chosen that
meets the strength requirement, minimizes free fall, and reduces swing fall hazards. Do not work above
the anchorage point.
2. The 019-4005 Roof Anchor can be installed on any structure that meets the strength requirements as
defined in the SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS section of this manual for Personal Fall Arrest.
3. The 019-4005 Roof Anchor must be installed parallel with the roof sheets. The 019-4005 must be
installed on the roofing panel aligned with the fall of the roof and centered over a roof joist. The
019-4005 can be installed on a fininshed shingled roof with no need to remove shingles. (See Figure 6)
4. Secure the 019-4005 Roof anchor to the roof by installing (7) 14 Gauge x 75 mm roofing screws
through the holes in the 019-4005, penetrating through the sheathing and into the roof joist. Sheathing
must be a minimum of 1/2" thick and fasteners must be fully embedded. (See Figure 7)
5. The 019-4005 is best suited for use on roof pitches up to 30°. For roof pitches greater than 30°, the
019-4005 should be used in conjunction with other access methods to ensure there is no live loading of
the anchor. The 019-4005 are not designed for rappelling or lifting operations. Exposure of the
019-4005 to a live load could trigger the energy absorbing regions.
6. The 019-4005 is suitable for use with Horizontal Lifeline Systems.
7. The 019-4005 Roof Anchor can be removed and re-used unless the anchor is damaged or has
experienced Fall Arrest Forces. If either of these conditions exist, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY
removed from service and destroyed.
8. The 019-4005 is designed as a fall arrest anchorage for a single user with a maximum weight capacity
of 310 lbs. including tools and equipment. If two 019-4005 Roof Anchors are used for installation of a
Horizontal Lifeline System, the system can accomodate up to two users.
9. The allowable working radius of the 019-4005 Roof Anchor is 360°. The 019-4005 is
Multi-Directional, and will arrest a fall from any direction relative to the anchor. (See Figure 8)

configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, carabiners and other connectors. Any
connection which could allow disengagement must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be
self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will be
conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential fall
hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment
to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
