The Benefits of Rooftop Warning Line Systems for Roofing Contractors
An efficient warning line system reduces labor, gives the crew a quicker start, and is an integral part of the job.
The federal government’s fall protection laws (29 CFR 1926.501-502) allow for several fall protection systems on roofs with slopes of 4:12 or less.
Rooftop warning line systems are the most common fall-protection systems in use due to their low cost, portability, and ability to adapt to most roof geometries. They enclose the perimeter of a work area with a line at about waist height, and operate on the principle that the line will warn workers when they are dangerously near the roof edges.
