Restrictive Layout

Anchor Layout Requirements
1. Anchors shall be identified on a plan of maintenance, typically posted on the inside of the roof door, so that workers can easily
locate these anchorages on roofs.
2. Each worker shall be tied off to two independent anchorages – one for a fall arrest rope and one for a suspension rope.
3. Anchorages shall be placed in line with the work area requiring service, and there shall be no objects obstructing the path of
the rope from the anchorage to the work area. Properly aligned anchors prevent unsafe lateral rope movement or displace-
ment, which damages the rope proportionate to load.
4. Anchors should be placed to allow for at least two workers to make rope descending system descents in the same area of the
building façade for both suspension line and fall arrest line.
5. Consideration should be given to providing sufficient anchorage for rescue workers to access window cleaners in the event
that they are stranded on the façade of the building.
6. Anchors shall not be placed within 6 feet (1800 mm) of an unprotected roof edge unless fall protection is provided. In most
cases anchors can and should be placed further than 6 feet (1800 mm) back from the edge to reduce risk of falling.
7. Outside corners of the roof are of particular concern. Anchors must be located to prevent the rope from being displaced on
the parapet/guardrail. See diagram below:
8. The diagram below illustrates the standards governing a safe placement of roof anchors:

must be given to rescuing an employee promptly should a fall occur. The availability of rescue personnel, ladders, or other
rescue equipment needs to be evaluated since there may be instances in which employees cannot self-rescue (e.g.
employee unconscious or seriously injured). In some situations, equipment allowing employees to rescue themselves after
the fall has been arrested may be desirable, such as devices that have descent capability.
