Customer Reviews for Werner Fall Protection Roofing Safety System Compliance Kit

Only thing is having to mail the catch to the roof of customer.

Exactly what I needed. Perfect fit.

We’re building our own house and I bought two of these kits for my partner and I to more safely install our 11:12 pitch roof decking and roofing materials. During use, while she was attached to the lanyard and working, her chest buckle came unfastened. She was sitting on the peak at the time so not immediately life threatening but still incredibly scary. I’ve worn harnesses in commercial highrise work for years and thought it was basically impossible for a buckle like that to come undone. I decided it was an incredible fluke that would never happen again and we continued on. Then, a few days later, i was papering the roof and had to lay across it to reach the far edge. When I stood back up I noticed that the chest strap had come undone on my harness. After experiencing this with two separate harnesses I discontinued roof work and sent an email to Werner about it. This is the reply I received today: Hi, You will have to take the system out of service. DO NOT USE OR REPAIR. Thank you, - that’s it, no concern or instructions to have them replaced. Nothing but stating the obvious. Do not buy this kit! I sent a follow up email to Werner and I’m waiting to see how they want to handle it before I cut these harnesses and throw them away. We will never put them on again.

Game changer for this old(er) painter! Why spend a fortune on contractors when you can do it yourself - safely. I have painted high areas many times in the past with no fear, and no harness other than a dangling rope, but this safety setup is a confidence builder. Easy to use, plenty strong, and well built - I highly recommend!

Excellent quality. Very easy to use and comfortable to wear.

I started using this kit this morning, and not only do I feel much safer, I can actually work faster, because I have a rope to put a little tension on that makes it easier to safely go up/down my 8/12 roof. The quality is better than I expected. Thank you to the folks at Werner who made this kit available at such an affordable price, which is reducing major accidents and saving lives. My specs, for reference: 5'8", 150 lbs, slender build, but the harness could fit a very wide range of folks.

Instruction are a little vague.

Everything you need to work safely on the roof on a convenient bucket.

As a homeowner the this harness was easy to use, and not uncomfortable while in use. The manual rope grab moves well enough when you need it to, but seems to grab well when there's tension on the rope. I have not tried using the temporary roof anchor, nor have I needed to find out if the lanyard and harness perform as advertised in a fall situation, thankfully.

Home Depot had the best deal I could find on a complete system. The bonus was that it was from a trusted manufacturer, Werner. In looking online there were a lot of "no name" brands that cost more. the system had everything I need to safely repair some windblown shingles on the steep part of my roof. The instructions were clear, the harness seemed secure, as did the attachment points on each end of the rope. Fortunately, I didn't test the system out by actually falling off the roof, but I did slip down the roof a few feet a couple of times and the system kept me from the edge. This was my first and only experience of working in a safety harness, so I can't compare it to other brands or systems, but for me it worked. It is nice that it comes in a plastic bucket and everything can go back in for storage.

Everything needed to comply with OSHA on a roof

Just picked up one of these today. I took a pic into the store just in case and sure enough it wasn't on sale in the store. She offered to just give me a $10 discount but the system wouldn't allow her. Why are these sales online only? Anyway I've not tested it yet but I've fitted it to myself and put the anchor on the roof. Very sturdy equipment including the anchor. I expect that this will work just fine and that I never have to actually test it for real. Great price even not on sale though.

Very user-friendly very comfortable
