Residential roofers need to comply with OSHA fall protection without killing productivity.
Existing safety systems (anchors, lifelines, guardrails) are not designed for efficient residential roofing workflow; they cause significant productivity loss (10-25% or more) and require frequent repositioning, making crews reluctant to use them.
