Fall Protection Kit for Professional Roofing Work

When working at heights, a fall protection kit is your lifeline.

Selen provides you with the safety and peace of mind you need to install solar panels, perform repairs, or maintain a roof structure. Without the right equipment, you’re exposing yourself to unnecessary risk every time you step onto the roof. We offer complete fall protection kits tailored to your specific work requirements.

How do you choose the right fall protection kit?

There are several factors to consider when choosing your fall protection kit:

Work Duration – On longer workdays, extra padding and comfort make a big difference.
‍
Freedom of Movement – A harness with the right straps and adjustment options gives you the freedom to move safely.
‍
Connection Points – If you’re working with a fall-arrest wire system or a fixed line, you may need additional connection options.
‍
Certification – All components must be internationally approved.

What fall protection kits do we offer?

We offer four different fall protection kits, so you can choose exactly the right solution for the job:

‍

Basic fall protection kit

Our basic kit includes the fall protection equipment you need for shorter jobs where you don’t require any additional features. It’s simple, reliable, and fully compliant with current safety requirements, so you can get to work right away.

‍

Fall protection kit fixed line

This kit is designed specifically for use with fixed-line systems. It provides a secure connection and allows you to move freely throughout the work area—both horizontally and vertically—without having to disconnect along the way. This makes it ideal if you’re working on large roof surfaces or need to cover a large area.

‍

Luxury fall protection kit

For longer work sessions, we recommend the deluxe set. It offers extra padding, improved ergonomics, and more attachment options, so you can stay comfortable in the harness for an entire workday. The set is designed for those who use fall protection equipment frequently and for whom comfort throughout the day makes a real difference in their work.

‍

Fall Protection Harness Set with Vest

If you work in cold conditions, this fall protection set combines a practical vest to keep you warm and safe all in one solution. This means you don’t have to compromise on freedom of movement or protection from the cold when working on the roof during the colder months.

FAQ

What is a fall protection kit?

A fall protection kit is a complete solution that keeps you safe when working at heights. It typically consists of a safety harness, a fall arrest device, a carabiner, and often a connecting link or a lanyard. Together, these components form a system that will safely catch you if you lose your balance while working.

While the fixed anchoring system on the roof is a permanent solution, the fall protection kit is the equipment you wear and carry with you during your daily work. The kit is connected to an anchor point on the roof—for example, our anchor point—and only then are you truly secured.

Do the parts in a fall protection kit need to fit together?

The components of a fall protection kit must always be compatible with one another and tested to function as a single system. For this reason, we recommend purchasing a complete kit rather than assembling one from individual parts from different manufacturers. This ensures that the harness, fall arrest device, and carabiner are compatible and meet the same safety standards.

How often should a fall protection kit be inspected?

A fall protection kit must be inspected at least once a year by a qualified person who can assess whether the equipment is still safe to use. In addition to the annual inspection, you are responsible for checking the equipment for wear and damage every time you use it, so that you can identify any problems in a timely manner.

When should a fall protection kit be replaced?

A fall protection kit must be replaced immediately if it has been dropped, even if there is no visible damage. The forces from a fall can weaken the material from the inside without any visible signs on the outside. The same applies if you notice wear, cracks, or other signs of weakening, both during routine inspections and during the annual inspection.

Do I need special training to use a fall arrest system?

You must receive training before using a fall protection system—even if you already have experience with roof work. Proper use requires that you understand how to set up the equipment correctly and how it works in the event of an accident. Therefore, take the time to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the equipment before using it on the roof.

Responsibility for employee safety

What are the employer's duties?

It's an employer's duty:

Assess how work at height can be performed safely.
That work areas where fall protection equipment must be used are marked with signage.
To provide suitable fall protection equipment when the work situation requires it.
Together with the user, ensure the maintenance and cleanliness of fall protection equipment.

Before using the fall protection equipment, the user must be instructed in the use of the equipment and informed of the dangers of not using it.

Contingency plan

The company's use of fall protection equipment must be included in their APV (workplace assessment) - but a written plan for how the work can be carried out safely - including an emergency plan for what procedures to follow when using fall arrest equipment - including a plan for how the employer and the employee should react if an accident occurs. The emergency plan must be visible and known to everyone.
