Abstract: A roof safety anchor (10) having an elongated body (22) including a right edge (23), a left edge (24), a fixed end (25) and a rigid free end (26) that defines an aperture (28). The body (22) is of a size and shape to conform to a roof (R, R1, R2, R3, R4) of a building, wherein the roof has a layer of roof cladding (16), layered over a layer roof sheathing (12), which is layered over spaced apart structural beams (14). The fixed end (25) is fixably connected to the roof sheathing (12), and underneath the roof cladding (16). Preferably, the fixed end is fixedly connected to the roof sheathing through a plurality of lag bolts. The free end (26) protrudes outwardly from the roof, over the roof cladding (16). In use, an object, such as a safety line, is tied to the free end (26) through the aperture (28) in order to anchor the object the roof (R, R1-R4).

Abstract: A safety line anchor (20) is installed on a peaked roof (12) to provide safety line connection points (36) for a worker (10) working on or near the roof. When installed, a first leg (24) and a second leg (26) of the safety line anchor (20) extend down either side of the peaked roof (12). The anchor (20) is installed by use of attachment means located on the legs (24, 26) of the anchor (20).
