ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attachment of a davit mount for holding a scaffolding over the side of a building attaches directly to a structural column of the building, and eliminates the need for both a safety anchor located atop and within the roof inwardly from the roof edge, and a safety line extending back to that safety anchor. Because of the indicated apparatus, the structural integrity of the roof surface need not be compromised in order to install that safety anchor, and secondly no safety line remains extended over any portion of the roof so as to constitute a safety hazard. The apparatus includes a pedestal fixedly mounted to a structural element of the building and a mobile davit mount that includes both a davit socket and a safety line attachment point that is brought up to that pedestal, into an aperture of which is installed a base including a spring-loaded locking arm that removably attaches to a locking bar within the pedestal; a lock release attached to or a part of said locking arm can then be engaged to release the davit mount from the pedestal whereby the davit mount can be moved to another location on the roof.
