In our case, it's not our building, and the building owner has his own rules. There is an anchor point on the safe wall (well away from the edge). We just clip on to it.

What would it cost to have a steel cable type rail installed? I think that a rail is required if you will be within a certain distance from the edge. Where are my OSHA guys? Somebody has to know this rule. That being said, We've never had rails on the rooftop sites for any company that I have ever worked for.

    One of our sites is like that. We just wear a climbing harness
    with a tether tied to an anchor.

        there is no barriers or handrails, you can literally just roll
        a coin off of the roof. Having handrails installed looks to be
        too expensive, any other ideas ? Personally I think it's way
        safer than climbing a tower but they don't see it that way.

        I was thinking maybe some of those interlinking steel crowd
        barriers? Can't really find a source for those either and they
        look to be like $25 per foot which will also cost a fortune...

        Maybe one of those retractable fall protection things anchored
        to the middle of the roof ?
