B-Safe Roof Anchor T-Bar, 15 kN, Single Person, for Metal Roof Sheeting

B-Safe T-bar roof anchor, code BSL5000, is a steel right angle anchor, 400mm x 350mm, for fixing to metal roof sheeting. It is designed and tested to 15kN, rated as a single person fall arrest anchor under AS/NZS 1891.4, and should always be used with a travel restraint technique. It is not fitted with an internal energy absorbing device, so an energy absorbing device must be used with it.

It is suitable for users trained in height safety, on roofs of metal sheeting with a minimum base metal thickness of 0.42mm in Custom Orb and Trimdek profiles with ridge capping secured by roof screws, for direct connection of personal fall arrest equipment for one person, with installation on the opposite side of the roof from where you are working. The anchor must never be installed on the ridge line or ridge capping of a roof. It is not suitable for fall arrest technique if the roof overhang exceeds 60mm without training in height safety, for tiled, shingled, aluminium sheet, asbestos or decramastic roofs, for temporary horizontal lifelines, for lifting or restraining equipment, as an abseil anchor, or for connection by more than one person or more than one line. The roof sheeting must withstand a load of at least 15kN for single point connections, that the anchor must be installed by a competent person, inspected by a competent person before each use and thoroughly inspected every 12 months, and that an engineer should inspect it in accordance with AS/NZS 1891.4 before it first enters service. Fall protection equipment must be selected, installed, used, inspected and maintained by trained people in line with the instructions supplied with it and the relevant Australian Standards.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Check that the roof, the sheeting and the fixings suit the anchor before installing, and have a competent person install and inspect it. Connect it to a full body harness that has a fall arrest attachment point, and to an anchorage that can take the load. An anchorage for free fall arrest must withstand a minimum of 15kN for one person and 21kN for two. For a permanent purlin mounted anchor see the low profile purlin mounted anchor.
