Embodiment Construction

[0049]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. There is no limiting sense of this invention when it is considered for use within the parameters of the roofer performing low slope roofing, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0050]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention generally may provide a fall protection for roofers 36 working on low slope roofs 18 (less than 2 / 12 pitch). More specifically, a coated wire or cable 14 may be strung around a perimeter edge of the work area. The wire 14 is laid in such a continuous manner that a loop or circuit is formed. Completing the loop is a modified transmitter 12. The transmitter 12 completes the loop by connecting both ends of the coated wire 14 to the modified transmitter 12. Electromagnetic or radio waves 38 (AM ty

Abstract

The invention through its personal protective equipment (PPE) may warn the roof worker when that roofer moves beyond the setback selected from the exposed unprotected roofs edge, beyond which a fall causing injury or a fatality may occur. The PPE monitors each worker, keeping them back from the roofs edge according to OSHA fall standard 19260501b10. The transmitter keeps a log of the date and time incursions occur beyond the selected setback for each workers' PPE. This information is stored in a transmitter and downloaded via a smart phone APP created and coded by this new art and sent to management, insurer, and OSHA for safety compliance and production monitoring. The hardhat PPE offers additional safety protection.
