Abstract
A fall arrest system is disclosed. In one aspect, a structure may include a collar on the roof portion of the structure. A U or V-shaped anchor point has leaves or legs of the U or V-shape attached to spaced-apart locations on the collar. A cable may be attached to the anchor point and extended off the roof and down a side of the structure proximate to a ladder. A distal end of the cable may be tensioned by a cable tensioner. A rope grab may be attached to the cable. A pulley or similar structure may be used at the edge of the roof and side to protect the cable from rubbing against the edge. In use, a person attaches to the rope grab and climbs the ladder to the top of the structure.
