B-SAFE Roofers Kit is to provide a fall restraint system for accessing large areas of roof in a safe manner. While still
providing the necessary personal protection should unforeseen hazards be encountered.
Prior to any work being carried out on a roof or structure, a risk assessment should be conducted to identify the hazards
that exist and the risks that they pose.
This table is a sample only as many other hazard factors can and will come into account. Other issues to be addressed at
this stage include, but are not limited to personal training levels, competency, weather conditions, surface conditions, etc.
Reference should be made AS/NZS 1891.4.

Anchor Point: a secure point for attachment on a structure to which a fall arrest device, lanyard assembly or restraint
line may be secured.
Attachment Hardware: any ring, hook, karabiner, or other connecting device located in such a position that it must
sustain by itself the full loading of a fall arrest.
Energy Absorber: an attachment which by design reduces the deceleration force imposed by a sudden arrested fall,
used in series with a fall arrest harness and lanyard.
Fall Arrest Harness: an assembly of interconnected shoulder and leg straps, with or without a waist belt, designed for
attachment to a lanyard, pole strap, or fall arrest lanyard, and used where there is likelihood of free or restrained falls.
Free fall: any fall or part of a fall where the person suffering the fall is under the unrestrained influence of gravity over
any fall distance either vertically or on a slope on which it is not possible to walk without the assistance of a hand rail or
hand line.
Lanyard: a line used, usually as part of a lanyard assembly to connect a fall arrest harness to an anchorage point or
static line in situations where there is risk of free fall.
Restrained fall: any fall where the person suffering the fall is under less than the full influence of gravity due to the
action of a restraining device such as a pole strap, or restraint line or is sliding down a slope less steep than is required
to have the assistance of a hand rail or hand line.
Restraint Line: a line used to restrict the horizontal movement of the user to prevent a fall. (To be used in restraint
technique only, should include an energy absorber in the event of a fall)
Total Fall Distance: the total distance a person is likely to fall during both the free and restraint parts of a fall, including
the maximum dynamic extension of all supporting equipment.

b. Always attempt to set system up in a total fall restraint fashion, that is where there is no risk of any free fall
component
c. In the event of a free fall risk being possible e.g. brittle or translucent roofing material. Ensure that there is sufficient
fall clearance below the roof material. (See section on fall clearances)
d. The presence of hazardous substances to the equipment, e.g. painting materials, solvents, hot surfaces, chemicals,
corrosives, moving machinery, sharp edges etc can cause damage to the system without the user being aware, and
may cause the system to fail.
e. The presence of other hazards such as high voltage equipment, welding or heated equipment will cause damage to
the system.
f. Component compatibility. The equipment is designed and tested for use with other B-Safe products, should any
other equipment be used on the system, then please consult with the Beaver - B-Safe personnel for approval /
compatibility prior to use.
g. Training. This equipment is intended for use by personnel who have been fully trained in its correct use and
application.
h. The system can be used where pendulum effects may occur and it is extremely important to ensure that this factor
is taken into consideration when systems are set up and employed. (See pendulum effect section)
ROOFERS KIT SYSTEM SET UP:
Prior to each use of the kit and its components, carefully inspect it according to the inspection requirements of
“Section 9 and Appendices C & D (AS/NZS1891.4)”
Similarly Anchorages should be inspected in accordance with Section 3 Clause 3.1.2 and Table 3.1 -
“Anchorages (AS/NZS 1891.4)”.
In particular:
“The building or structure and anchorage points shall be assessed by an engineer, unless it is clear to a
Height Safety Supervisor that the anchorage system is structurally adequate. An example of where an
engineer may not be required is where an anchorage sling of the adequate strength is secured around a
solid permanent structure such as a plant room. However, if any doubt exists as to the structural adequacy
of the anchorage, an engineer shall make the assessment. If called upon to make the assessment the
engineer shall certify in writing that all combinations of loads in a worst case situation can be safely
contained by the proposed structure and anchorage points.”
TABLE 3.1 - STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS FOR ANCHORAGES
Purpose of anchorage Ultimate strength in direction of loading
(minimum) (see note 1)
Single point anchorages
Free Fall Arrest – one person 15kN
Free Fall Arrest – two persons attached to the same anchor 21kN
Limited Free Fall Arrest (including rope access anchorages) 12kN
Restraint Technique 12kN or 15kN (see note 2
NOTES:
1. As far as practicable all single point one-person anchorages should meet the 15kN requirement regardless of primary purpose.
2. Anchorage strengths applicable when using restraint technique are either 15kN or 12kN depending on whether fall risk is free
fall or limited free fall.

2. Ensure base of ladder is on stable, level ground at a ratio of 1m wide to 4m high.
3. If possible secure base of ladder.
4. Fit safety harness before ascending the ladder; do not attach yourself to the ladder unless the ladder has been
secured top and bottom.
Note: Only when the ladder has been properly secured can a worker safely attach to the ladder with a restraint line
no longer than 600mm and it should be attached to the front loops of the harness restraint point.
5. A temporary ladder can only be used as a work platform if all the above conditions are met.
6. Before stepping from the ladder onto the roof structure, ensure you have securely connected your restraint line or
shock absorbing lanyard to the first roof anchor point.
7. When leaving the roof structure ensure both feet are securely on the ladder before disconnecting from the roof
anchor point.
When working at heights with foot clearance less than 4.15 metres fall clearances are very important as a 2m shock
absorbing lanyard requires foot clearance of 4.15metres (refer to diagram on fall clearances). If your fall clearance is less
than this then shorter lanyards are required.
