Abstract: A lifeline safety system for a pitched roof employs a frame for mounting a lifeline system above the peak of the roof. Shoulders extend from the frame and engage opposing sides of the roof. An anchor comprising a generally J-shaped bolt secures the bracket assembly to the roof. The bolt has a hook which engages the underside of the rafter. A nut has a pair of arms for torquing the nut to the bolt.
Abstract: A shock absorbing safety net includes diamond mesh netting which is attached to a perimeter rope. In one embodiment, groups of diamond points or peripheral diamond mesh arrays are alternately lashed and laced to the perimeter rope. The laced diamond meshes are disposed in the vicinity of snap hooks employed to attach the safety net to the support cable or mounting frame.
