The slip-on eave brace has a soffit load distributing member, a vertical member coupled to the soffit load distributing member at one end portion thereof, and a sloped roof engaging member coupled to an opposite end portion of the vertical member. A safety line attachment member is fixed to an opposite end portion of sloped roof engaging member to the coupling with the vertical member. In a fall arrest event, fall forces are transferred via the safety line into the slip-on eave brace and into the eave of a sloped roof. A sloped roof fall arrest system can use one or more slip-on cave braces to provide fall protection to one or more workers on a sloped roof.
