Abstract: A safety apparatus for building construction, and preferably for the above-ground construction of a home. The apparatus consists of at least two supports that are coupled directly to the building, either outside an above-ground floor and/or proximate the roof. The purpose of the apparatus is to provide fall protection for a person working on the roof or otherwise above-ground. The main components of the apparatus include at least two supports, planks extending between the supports to define a horizontal falling surface, and guard rails extending between the supports to define a vertical falling surface.
