A Temporary Roof Anchor can be used when working at heights where permanent roof anchor points are not fitted. Temporary anchors have a wide variety of attaching options and allow safe work access without having to install permanent anchor points.
Variety's include screw fix anchors that get temporarily screwed into the original roof screw lines, Edge lock anchors that fix to the edge of different roof sheeting profiles and Static Lines or Webbing & Rope Lifelines that get fixed to an appropriate position with Anchor Slings and can cater for two workers.
Remember that Safety Harnesses, Lanyards and Ladder Brackets are also components to be used with temporary anchors.
