Rooftop Fall Protection Systems
Mobile Anchor Systems for Rooftop Fall Protection
Mobile anchor systems provide a flexible, OSHA-compliant solution for rooftop and elevated worksite safety. Designed for fall restraint and fall arrest, these portable systems allow workers to move freely while staying securely tethered—preventing falls near unprotected edges.
Unlike fixed anchor points that require frequent inspection, mobile anchors are low maintenance and easy to relocate, making them ideal for construction sites, commercial rooftops, and changing work zones.
Key Features:
- Penetrating and non-penetrating options for various roof types
- Supports multiple workers in both fall arrest and fall restraint setups
- Fully OSHA-compliant: 1926.502(b)(15), (16) and 1910.29(b)
- Compatible with most commercial and industrial rooftops
- Quick to position, easy to transport
Rooftop Warning Line Systems
Warning line systems clearly mark rooftop work zones, visually signaling the approach of unprotected edges or hazardous areas. These OSHA-compliant fall protection aids are quick to install, easy to reposition, and ideal for dynamic rooftop job sites.
- Meets OSHA 1926.501 requirements
- High-visibility lines with markings every 6 feet
- Defines safe zones vs. fall hazard zones
- Best used as part of a comprehensive rooftop fall protection system
Warning lines do not stop falls—they provide visual alerts only. For full fall protection, pair them with guardrails or harness systems.
Roof Guardrail (Handrail) Systems
Roof guardrails offer physical, passive fall protection around rooftop edges—eliminating the need for PPE or training during routine rooftop access. They’re ideal for creating safe walkways and perimeters around elevated surfaces.
- No harnesses or lifelines required
- OSHA-compliant, low-maintenance, and worker-friendly
- Suitable for rooftops, loading docks, and trench edges
Mounting Options:
- Internal/external wall mount
- Metal roof mount
- Non-penetrating base
- Perimeter clamp systems
These systems are built to fit your structure—without compromising the integrity of your roof.
Rooftop Walkways for Safe Access and Roof Protection
Rooftop walkways provide a clear, designated path to safely navigate across roofs—especially near fall hazards or sensitive equipment. Paired with guardrail systems, they create compliant, low-risk access routes across elevated surfaces.
Non-penetrating walkways:
Fast installs with cable ties—ideal for membrane, rubber, or BUR roofs
- Non-slip Surface
- Withstands hurricane-force winds
Permanent walkways:
Made from lightweight, noncorrosive aluminum
- Fastener types vary based on roof structure
Key Benefits:
- Protects roof surface from wear caused by repeated foot traffic
- Improves equipment access, increasing likelihood of maintenance
- Reduces slip risks, especially in wet or icy conditions
Skylight Covers & Protection Systems
Skylight fall protection is critical—OSHA classifies unprotected skylights as fall hazards under 1926.501(b)(4). W.W. Cannon offers two effective, OSHA- and CAL OSHA-compliant solutions to secure skylight openings and prevent rooftop injuries.
