POSITIONING
Person fall arrest is when the application where the user can be subject
to a fall. The anchorage needs to be used in conjunction with approved
connecting device such as a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline and a
harness. Maximum permissible free fall is 6 ft (1.8 m). Anchorages
selected for fall arrest systems shall be able to sustaining static loads
applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs (23
kN) for non-certified anchorages or two times the maximum arresting
force for certified anchorages.
Restraint is the application used by the user where the user is limited in
distance so they cannot reach or be exposed to a fall hazard. Restraint
systems shall have the strength capable of sustaining static loads
applied to all directions permitted by the system and; No less than 1,000
lbs for non-certified field anchorages and two times the foreseeable
force for certified anchorages or as determined by ANSI/ASSE Z359.6.
This system also is composed of the anchorage, connecting device such
as a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline and a harness.
Positioning devices shall be secured to an anchorage capable of
supporting at least twice the potential impact load of an employee’s
fall or 3,000 pounds (13.3 kN), whichever is greater. This system also
is composed of the anchorage, connecting device such as a lanyard or
self-retracting lifeline and a harness.
