2.1 Authorised Installers
Only competent installers certified by Kingspan are allowed to
install and service the SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable System.
2.2 Conformity
The SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable System is a roof top anchorage
system which is tested and where appropriate certified in
accordance with the requirements of various national and
international standards and codes of practice. Details can be
found in standards table, Section 6.2.
Components or parts are not to be altered, modified, dismantled
or be replaced with items not supplied or manufactured by
Kingspan, such action will invalidate any certification and could
result in serious or fatal consequences.
Parts or components not supplied by Kingspan may be of inferior
specification and may cause incorrect operation of the system.
2.3 Work Restraint & Fall Arrest
The SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable System is a fall protection
anchorage system. All anchorage systems must be designed for
all arrest, although it is best to restrain the user to prevent a fall
occuring, when possible.
Work Restraint
The advantages with work-restraint are that:
– Workers do not have to be subjected to the abrupt impact of
an arrest as would be the case in a fall-arrest system, or risk
falling into a hazard e.g. water or a hazardous substance
– The user can not be injured from swing-fall incidents
– There is no need for any rescue provision
– Personnel require less training.

2.0 General
Fall Arrest
Where a work restraint system cannot be employed, a fall-arrest system has to be used. The disadvantage is that a worker has to
fall before the system can operate (Fig 2) and arrest the fall. This is achieved by applying a braking force to the worker for a few
hundredths of a second. The SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable System ensure that the braking force is always kept below a safe load,
providing that the worker is wearing a full body harness and an energy-absorbing lanyard certified to the appropriate national
standard.
When designing the roof safety system, be aware of falls through fragile elements as well as falls from exposed edges.
In a fall arrest situation appropriate rescue procedures must be in place to return the worker to safety as soon as possible. Refer to the
Rescue planning section of this guide (Section 3.7).
Important Note
Whilst all horizontal lifeline systems must be designed for Fall Arrest in case of accidental misuse, it is recommended that system
should be designed for Work Restraint. This design enables a user to access their work area whilst being prevented from being exposed
to a fall hazard. This design will reduce risk and mitigate the consequences of a fall.
Work Restraint Orientation (Fig 1)
A
B
Fall Arrest Orientation (Fig 2)
A
B
In a work restraint system, to prevent the worker from entering an area where they could fall, there are two dimensions
which need to be strictly controlled:
– The lanyard length A (Fig 1)
– The distance from the Anchor to the fall hazard B (Fig 1).
A scale drawing should be made to ensure that the lanyard (including connectors) will always prevent the user from entering
a fall arrest situation. If the position of the fall hazard relative to the Anchor varies this analysis should be performed at various points
along the length of the system.

3.1 Reviewing the Task
Only installers certified by Kingspan are allowed to install and
service the SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable Systems.
Site Survey
At the start of each job a site survey should be carried out to
assess the type and location of the system required.
Accurate measurements should be taken to make sure that the
system will fit the required area correctly.
During a site survey the following information should be
gathered:
– The purpose of the system /Task to be performed
– The maximum No. of people that will be using the system at
any one time
– The specification and manufacturer of the roof to which the
system will be fitted, including critical dimensions such as
seam/crown centres and insulation thickness
– Scale drawings of the structure or building (in digital format if
available)
– The exact path of the system
– Any special requirements from the architect or the customer
such as; a specific type of bracket, or particular considerations
for historical buildings
– The risks to the installers so that suitable risk controls during
installation can be planned.
When seeking technical support on a specific job, the Kingspan
sales team will be able to help you more quickly
if you have the above information available as a minimum.
Method Statements
Before work begins a method statement should be written by the
installer, agreed with the client and signed by both the parties.
This is a detailed step by step guide of how the work is to be
carried out by the installer.
The method statement protects both the client and the installer
in the event of the work not being carried out in a safe manner,
and can be used to ensure that the workers are adhering to safe
and suitable working practices while carrying out the work.
Verifying The Roof Structure
The strength of the roof structure should be verified before the
system is fitted to ensure that the fixings are strong enough to
hold the anchor onto the roof. This can be done by calculation
or through roofing approvals. Contact Kingspan for any specific
roof testing that may be relevant to the roof profile.
Where these methods can not be used to verify the strength of
the structure and the fixings, a sample fixing should be installed,
and pull tested. The fixings should withstand as a minimum the
forces given in the SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable and Cable Forces
Calculation Sheet.

Gaining Access To The Anchor
The entry point is defined as the point where the user can attach to the system. The exit point is defined as the point where
the user can detach from the system. The entry point and the exit point can be at the same position. It is important to remember
that the user is not fully protected from a fall until the safety lanyard and harness are attached and secured to the attachment
eye or UniGrab, via a carabiner. Consideration should always be given to the positioning of the Anchor in regards to the above.
The entry point should always be in a safe area, i.e. free from fall hazards. Where this cannot be achieved, a secondary means
of fall protection needs to be installed to give protection whilst bridging the gap between the access route and the Anchor.
The same consideration needs to be made in respect to the exit point, should it be in a different position to the entry point.
Swing Falls
Swing falls can be fatal when working near a gable end. Fig 8 shows a worker using a rope and grab at maximum extension near
a gable end. In this case the flank length exceeds the ridge height so if the user falls they have inadequate clearance to ground
level. Another risk is the slicing effect of the edge of the roof on the rope or lanyard as the user falls. This situation must be
avoided. Installation of edge protection to the end elevation and Installing the Anchor inboard of the roof eaves can help
to alleviate this issue.

3.3 Specifying Your Anchor
The RoofSafe Anchor and Cable provides a secure anchor point for a worker at height, close to an exposed edge or other
fall hazards, when used in conjunction with associated PPE, such as a full body harness and a energy absorbing lanyard.
The RoofSafe Anchor and Cable is designed to re-orientate and deploy an energy absorber in the event of a fall, thereby reducing the
load transferred to the user and the roofing system. The Anchor can be used for both fall arrest and work restraint applications.
There are two types of Anchors within the range. The SpiraTech Anchor and the Tip Over Anchor. Both anchors are modular in design
allowing for speed of fitting and use.
Both Anchors allow the user to walk 360 degrees around the anchor without needing to reorientate the lanyard or connectors.
The Anchor allows full weather sealing to prevent water ingress, and allows different roof membranes to be fitted and sealed
around the anchor for weather proofing.
The modular design allows the designer to chose and purchase the baseplate, module and top attachment separately.
This gives flexibility for application to any roof type or membrane.
Can be used as a single point anchor
for up to two users.
Can be used as a single point anchor
for one user.

Pitches For Toggle Fixing
The RA Baseplate 405 × 405 H (7241136) incorporates hole centres for the toggle fixings. The holes are
set at two pitches of 333 and 200. 3M Fall Protection have done extensive research to ensure that these
fixing centres are suitable for as many styles and pitches of roof deck as possible. If you find that the
standard holes are not suitable for a particular roof type, the blank baseplates can be drilled with
the correct hole type in alternative locations. If you have any queries contact 3M Fall Protection.

3.6 Aggressive and Hazardous Environments
Corrosive Environments
The SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable has been tested in saline
environments that exceed those specified in all National
Standards.
All components that are continuously exposed to the
atmospheric conditions are made from Aluminium or Stainless
Steel.
Aluminium components are anodized to AA11 (11 microns thick)
as a minimum and 316 stainless steel components are polished
to remove any surface impurities.
The SpiraTech coil and associated steel components are coated
in a Zinc inorganic coating which has a minimum saline
performance of 1000 Hrs.
In an aggressive or saline environment a SafePro 2 Anchor and
Cable System will require more frequent inspections and servicing
to assure corrosion damage is not affecting the performance
of the product. A appropriate inspection plan should be
implemented based on the environmental conditions and agreed
with the customer.
Chemical Hazards
Solutions containing acids, alkali, or other caustic chemicals,
especially at elevated temperatures may cause damage to
this equipment. Consult Kingspan if doubts exists concerning
installing this equipment where chemical hazards are present.
Electrical Hazards
Do not install the SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable where either the
anchor, cable or user can come into contact with electrical
power lines. Always allow a safe working distance between the
user and power lines.
If you are uncertain about a particular application please
contact your local energy infrastructure provider or health and
safety advisory service for information on safe working practices.
3.7 Rescue Planning
Employers have a responsibility to make specific provisions for
emergency planning. Work should be appropriately planned and
previsions should be made for emergency situations. The need
for rapid and appropriate response following a fall should not be
ignored.
In any situation where a fall could occur it is essential that
appropriate rescue equipment is available for rapid deployment
by trained personnel. Failure to have correctly trained personnel
and equipment in place to respond to a fall scenario may result
in serious injury or death.
Kingspan has a range of rescue equipment appropriate for
different scenarios and can advise on specification and use.

4.1 Anchorage Strength
The range of Roof Anchors are designed with internal supports which enable the post to maintain correct system tension as well as
allowing for annual testing of the strength of the fixings (section 5.1). The internal supports break away at less than 3kN allowing the
energy absorbing element to take the full force of the fall.
Once the anchor has been deployed the energy absorbing elements reduce the load on the user and the roof to safe levels, so that
the anchorage remains safely attached to the roof structure, and the user is brought comfortably to a post fall resting position.
The SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable can then withstand a minimum static load of twice the peak arrest load for 3 mins as required by
EN795.

A system consisting of 2 SpiraTech anchors (Fig 18) will return a peak load of approximately 4.6 kN (Fig 19).
However if a second user was to fall on the system after
the anchor had already been deployed the peak load would

5.0 Annual Maintenance
5.1 Testing the Roof Anchor
Anchors can be vertically pull tested up to 5kN. Pulling the
anchor can be used as a way of testing the integrity of the
fixings, where the post has been sealed in and they are not
accessible. Components such as end or intermediate brackets
and connection eyes should be removed before the test, and the
load should be applied to the top thread.
5.2 Testing the Swages
Swages as part of cable system should always be inspected to
ensure that the cable is attached securely.
Kingspan provide guidance on the swaging method and
inspection of swages. Please refer to section 7.7.
Electrical Hazards
Do not install the SafePro 2 Anchor and Cable where either the
anchor, cable or user can come into contact with electrical
power lines. Always allow a safe working distance between the
user and power lines.
If you are uncertain about a particular application please
contact your local energy infrastructure provider or health and
safety advisory service for information on safe working practices.
5.3 Cleaning The Anchor
All of the exposed materials in the anchor have been specified as
naturally corrosion resistant, or have been coated with sacrificial
coatings to prevent oxidisation of the base material.
It is important to consider that in some environments the
anchors may need to be cleaned to gain the best possible life
expectancy from the materials. Poorly maintained SafePro 2
Anchor and Cable Systems can become unusable or become
unsafe and in extreme cases may have to be replaced.
Details on best practice for the maintaining the system can be
found in the User Instruction Manual.
