Running a small roofing crew? You're not just buying gear β you're buying protection. These OSHA-compliant kits are trusted by contractors to pass inspections, avoid fines, and keep crews safe on steep roofs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a roofing safety kit OSHA-compliant?
It must include fall arrest systems like a full-body harness, anchor, and lifeline, and meet OSHA 1926.502 standards.
Can I reuse fall protection gear after a job?
Anchors and some lifelines may be reusable, but full-body harnesses must be inspected for wear or damage before each use. After a fall, most gear should be retired immediately.
Whatβs the best fall protection setup for high-pitch residential roofs?
Mid-tier or pro-grade kits like Malta Dynamics or 3M DBI-SALA offer better comfort and grip features for steep, angled roofs.
Do I need fall protection for one-story roofing jobs?
Yes. OSHA requires fall protection at elevations of 6 feet or higher in the construction industry β even for single-story residential projects.
