ABSTRACT:
A roofing safety system having several components that when installed in various combinations permits access to all locations on the roof's surface and allows roofing personnel to be continuously secured to the safety system from the time the roofer leaves the ground to do a roofing job until he descends back to the ground when the job is finished, a roofing anchor for attachment to a pitched roof's upper surface and to which roofing personnel make releasable connections. The roofing anchor includes a base plate that has a lower surface that is at least partially planar. The lower surface is capable of abutting engagement with the top upper surface of the pitched roof. The anchor has an elevational extension member that is connected to the base plate in a fixed orientation. An engagement plate is connected to the elevational extension member also at a fixed orientation. Releasable connections are made to the engagement plate by roofing personnel. The engagement plate is located at an elevation that is greater than the elevation of the base plate above the roof's surface. Therefore, a clearance space is provided between the engagement plate and the roof's surface.
