Separate restraint, fall arrest and rope descent before matching a roof harness to the anchor, connector, clearance, fit, training and rescue plan.
A Roof Anchor Must Match the Structure and the System
Compare roof anchors by the hidden structure, system role, exact current manual and service-life record—not by D-ring shape or one strength number.
A Rope Grab Has to Match the Lifeline, Lanyard and System
Compare a rope grab by lifeline material, construction and diameter, then confirm the exact model, lanyard or absorber and current system owner.
A Rope Protector Must Match the Edge and Whether the Rope Moves
Choose a rope protector by contact threat and whether the rope stays fixed or moves. Compare sleeves, reinforced models, rollers and sharp-edge holds.

A bosun chair is one RDS component. Separate chair-only and complete-system listings, verify system class, exact model and load, or hold the order.
Choose a Rope Descender by System, Rope and Brake Function
Compare a rope descender only after the work system, exact rope contract and control function agree. See what qualifies a model—or stops the order.
Rope Ascender Types: Match Role, Rope Range and System
Compare handled, chest, compact and foot rope ascenders by role, exact rope range and PPE status—then see which mismatch should stop the order.
