Looking for non-penetrating temporary anchor solutions -- small residential service contractor, Alberta
Writing a fall protection plan for a small holiday lights company in Alberta, Canada. Two-person crew, working on residential roofs up to 3 storeys. No penetrating anchors -- homeowners will not allow any drilling or screwing into the roof.
We have looked at two systems:
Ballantyne Gear Eveook -- CSA Z259.16-15 certified and ticks all the boxes, but only certified for slopes between 3:12 and 16:12 so low slope roofs are a gap. The owner is also reluctant because of the number of components and complexity of setup, despite the manufacturer claiming 15 minutes truck to roof.
Super Anchor G-Clamp (model 8501) -- no slope restriction, simpler setup, and supports two users in fall restraint. However only rated for one user in fall arrest, which is a practical limitation for a two-person crew doing rooftop work. We are also still waiting on clarification from Alberta OHS on whether its ANSI certification satisfies CSA Z259 requirements in Alberta.
Neither system is perfect for this operation.
Has anyone dealt with this scenario? Any other non-penetrating temporary systems worth looking at that are CSA Z259 compliant, or any creative solutions people have used for small mobile residential operations?
Thanks in advance.
