Fall Protection

[plain garage]

I'm looking to do some gutter work, re-mortor the chimney cap and possibly look at installing skylight or solar panels later on. I have a couple of ladders that can get me on the 2nd story roof, but I really need some recommendation on proper fall protection. As background, I'm 5'10", range from 180 to 200 lbs depending on time of year, what type of harness is recommended for a home owner/diyer?

Something along these lines should be more than suitable. The website is for Ritz Safety Supply.

Thanks for replying. What is the bucket for? And is the harness's rope supposed to anchor to? I was hoping I can find something useful on Zoro's site since they have a sale going on today but I still feel I don't know what to buy.

The bucket is the box/case/what you store it in.
The anchor is included but not related to the bucket.
They have a similar kit at lowes or homedepot I forget.

They sell poles that go into your roof vents. I'm not a fan of drilling into roofs so I anchored somewhere on other side of house usually
