If you require a safety solution for roof access during maintenance and inspection tasks, then look no further. Our products, including roof anchors, horizontal lifelines & horizontal rail systems offer comprehensive protection for workers on all types of roofs.
RoofSafe Anchors
Roofs are changing to accommodate more insulation materials and being designed to utilise lighter materials and take advantage of new technologies. The advanced design of Capital Safety’s RoofSafe™ Anchors allows customers to benefit from modern roofing design whilst ensuring safety and structural integrity.
Additionally, as the desire to comply with health and safety regulations increases, the need for safety solutions on older building and structures increases. Capital Safety’s RoofSafe™ Anchors are ideally suited for installation on an older building that requires a fall protection system.
There are now two types of anchors to choose from in the RoofSafe™ range:
The RoofSafe™ SpiraTech™ range includes anchors for use on a wide variety of roof types from wood and concrete to metal standing seam. Single point anchors are available along with ends, intermediate and corners for use in the RoofSafe™cable system. Each anchor comprises an energy absorbing module and a baseplate which is secured to the roof with rivets, toggles, clamps or concrete fixings depending on the roof type.
The NEW RoofSafe™ ZORBA™Tech anchors has been designed specifically for concrete roofs. Currently available as a single point anchor for 2 users plus a rescuer with a single fixing for solid concrete roofs.

RoofSafe Rail
The RoofSafe™ Rail product is best suited to modern building projects, in particular for roof fall protection, roof access and as an anchor point for suspended work positioning for external façade access, inspection and maintenance. The roof mounted rail meets the requirements of both abseil and fall protection standards and can be fixed to the roof system with minor penetrations or using clamps.
Where roofs are pitched at more than 15 degrees, it provides a sound anchorage and roof fall protection that will not flex when a worker applies their body weight to it. This provides the worker with a good sense of security and allows them to work at height with confidence.
In the event of a fall the roof fall protection product does not deflect and distributes very low loads to the roof structure.
Safety Needn’t Compromise Aesthetics
RoofSafe™ Rail is a quality extruded aluminium roof fall protection rail system, which provides a high level of user safety combined with a very aesthetically pleasing appearance. Roofsafe™ Rail offers excellent functionality through it’s free flowing attachment carriage and with no brackets to pass over, the users experience with the system is truly hands free. The system is also capable of navigating corners and changes of direction in the building or structure to provide complete design flexibility.
As well as for aesthetically sensitive projects, or inclined roofs, the RoofSafe™ Rail System should be considered for small fall arrest safety installations as loading of the structure in the event of a fall is low due to the products profile and fixing arrangement and it can be very cost effective compared to alternative solutions.
Minimal moving parts and high-grade materials ensure long life expectancy, low cost of ownership and add up to a sound investment.
The system can be fitted to built up metal profiled roofs and standing seam roofs and can support multiple workers for both fall arrest and fall restraint work applications. Detailed information to ensure safe system design and integration is provided by our Technical Support Team.
