Specifications/Definitions:
This fall arrest anchor is for single users in fall arrest or multiple users in fall restraint on
a low slope roof application (4/12 pitch or less). A horizontal lifeline may be used with the
Tie Down CRA's when designed by a qualified person. Nor more than two workers may
tie off to a horizontal lifeline that is connected to a Tie Down CRA.
Fall Restraint System - A fall restraint system (FRS) prevents the user from falling. The
system is comprised of a body harness along with an anchorage, connectors and other
equipment. The components typically include a lanyard and also may include a lifeline
and other devices.
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) - Fall protection must be provided if workers are
exposed to a fall of 6 feet or more to a lower level. When used properly, this will arrest a
fall and prevent the worker from contacting a lower level. A PFAS consists of an anchor, a
harness, and a lifeline or lanyard (usually with a deceleration device). A PFAS must be
used properly to be effective. Adjust the harness to fit snugly. The D-ring attachment for
the harness should be centered between the worker's shoulder blades and the leg straps
should be adjusted until they are snug. Fall arrest systems must be designed and set up
to prevent a worker from free falling more than 6 feet or contacting a lower level (e.g., the
floor or the ground) (29 CFR 1926.502(d)(16)(iii)).
Body Belts - Body belts are not acceptable in a PFAS because they can cause serious
injury during a fall (29 CFR 1926.502(d)).
