Werner harnesses are known to be the safest, easiest, and most reliable roofing safety systems available.

What you will Need

• Crowbar
• Tape Measure
• Harness System
• Roofing Brackets
• Nails and Screws
• Plywood
• Roofing Anchors

Installing and Using Roofing Brackets

To acquire a usable Werner harness system, you must first install roofing brackets to the structure. Brackets should be located about 18 inches from the eave of the roof and about 4 feet in width away from each other. Make sure the nails used directly go into a truss for support. Next, screw a 2×6 measured plank to the roofing brackets, and repeat the process every 8 feet up the roof for slide prevention. This also gives your tools somewhere to be placed that is easily reachable and safe.

Wearing and Using your Werner Harness

Before trying on your harness, make sure to inspect it first. Do not use a harness that looks overly worn, torn, or damaged in any way; as this could cause a fall. The harness should fit closely to your body, nice and snug. Install a roofing anchor directly above the area you are working on the peak of the structure. You should never be more than four feet away in width from the anchor you are using. Attach the lanyard, which is clipped to the back of the harness, to the roofing bracket. Move the rope grab as you move while working, to lessen slack and length of fall if it were to happen.
