[RE-wrenches] Roof anchors and proper rigging

[Hans Frederickson]

Rebecca,
Petzl makes the Navaho Bod harness with ANSI/NFPA certification. It's my
understanding that this harness meets OSHA requirements. At some point I
read a blurb from Petzl about how OSHA approved gear is actually
self-certified by the manufacturer, which they disdain. Apparently there was
no recognized testing lab for OSHA fall protection gear requirements, so
they decided to use ANSI. The ANSI/NFPA certified harness is a separate part
# from the regular version, so they must have made some modifications.
Anyway, the harness is comfortable and I can't imagine a safety inspector
having a problem with it.

Finally, I use an Absorbica in conjunction with my harness and rope (again,
climbing experience has helped me understand the concept of safety on a
roof). And I am still looking for a comfortable OSHA-approved harness that
has a front attachment point, so if anyone has suggestions I'd be
interested.
