and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee
attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete
personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two;
and under the supervision of a qualifi ed person.
ANSI Z359.1-2007 states that anchorages in a personal fall arrest system must
have a strength capable of sustaining static loads, applied in all permitted
directions by the system, of at least:
(a) two times the maximum arrest force permitted on the system when
certifi cation exists, or
(b) 5,000 pounds (22.2kN) in the absence of certifi cation
The strength in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of personal fall
arrest systems attached to the anchorage, when more than one personal fall
arrest system is attached to the anchorage.
A C
NCHORAGE ONNECTORS
Anchorage connectors function as an interface between the anchorage and the
Synthetic Rope Horizontal Lifeline for the purpose of coupling the system to the
anchorage. The end anchorage connectors are designed to resist and transfer at
least twice the maximum arrest load to the end anchorages.
CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
C L
OMPATIBILITY
All connecting subsystems must only be coupled to compatible connectors.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits snap hooks from being engaged to certain
objects unless two requirements are met: snap hook must be a locking type
and must be "designed for" making such a connection. Under OSHA 29
CFR 1926.502 "designed for" means that the manufacturer of the snap hook
specifi cally designed the snap hook to be used to connect to the equipment in
question.
The following connections must be avoided, because they can result in rollout*
when a non locking snap hook is used:
