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. Included is a roofing crown anchor assembly for installment over an upper surface of a pitched roof's crown. Two end anchor assemblies are positioned upon the crown in opposing orientation with at least one flexible cord connected between the end anchor assemblies. Each end anchor assembly has a pair of end anchors located on opposite sides of the crown. Each pair of end anchors has a crown spanning belt connected therebetween that extends over the crown. The belt is constructed from pliable material that substantially conforms to the upper surface of the crown. Each end anchor has a base plate having a lower surface that is partially planar and capable of abutting engagement with the roof. An elevational extension member is connected to the base plate at a fixed orientation therewith and an engagement plate is connected to the elevational extension member, also at a fixed orientation. At least four end assemblies are linearly arranged along the roof crown with a flexible cord connected between extreme distal ends of the roof crown anchor assembly.
