Verify that Chosen Anchorages are Appropriate.

per attached user (22.2kN), or be certified by a qualified person to
have strength of not less than 3600 lbs. per attached user (16kN).
2. For fall restraint (where there is no possibility of accidental
detachment), anchors need to withstand a static load of 3000
lbs per attached user (13.3kN), or be certified by a qualified
person to be able to withstand two times the foreseeable force.
3. For positioning systems, the anchorage strength must be a
minimum of 3000 lbs (13.3 kN), or be certified by a qualified
person to have strength of twice the foreseeable force.
