Ray, Standing seam roofs are easier when it comes to fall protection than a trapezoidal style metal roof which there are tons of in upstate NY... For a standing seam roof, they make anchors that will attach to the seam. When the job is done, they can be removed and reused. We have a few of these: https://www.fallprotectionpros.com/guardian-two-way-standing-seam-roof-anchor.html
