On a roof there is rarely a good anchor point where you want one. Choosing the second best one is the skill.
Falls from height 15–25 min per run
A harness is worn by everyone. What separates a stopped fall from a swing into a parapet is where the line was fixed, how much slack it had, and whether anyone worked out the clear distance below before stepping out.
This one is for roofers and for the supervisors who have to say yes or no to an anchor before work starts. It goes through roofs where the obvious point is missing, occupied, or not load bearing.
One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.
A team finds the load bearing points, the fragile areas and the edge without a parapet, before anyone sets foot on it.
They choose an anchor, work out the clear distance below, and shorten the line until a fall would stop above the ground.
The line goes tight and someone is hanging. The team works through getting them down, and how long they have to do it.

Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Falls from height holds all of them together.
