Who Needs This Product

This product is a reusable D-ring plate roof anchor, the anchorage component of a personal fall arrest system for wood roofs. Roofers screw the plate to framing for a temporary tie-off point, then connect an SRL or lanyard. It is removed and reused. You still need a certified full-body harness and a compatible connecting device.
