Section 5: Anchorage Considerations - Falltech 7411 Manual De Instrucciones


If the PFAS that is selected is made up of components from
different manufacturers, the competent person will ensure that
these components are compatible.
FallTech strongly encourages that the following points also be
considered in the course of product selection, in addition to the points
above:

Select the anchorage connector that is most appropriate for your
application and for the anchor point to which it will be attached.
While sling-style anchors are popular because of their versatility,
they are not always the best choice where sharp or angular
edges are present on the structure to which they are attached.

Select a full body harness of appropriate durability for your
workplace which contains all of the attachment elements that you
will require. Never attach any
back/dorsal d-ring or the front/chest d-ring of your full body
harness.

Depending on workplace conditions and hazards, you may need
to employ multiple systems or different combinations of
components. Do not try and force the system to fit the
application. Use of the correct equipment is the best policy.

Section 5: Anchorage Considerations

OSHA 1910.66 and 1926.502 state that anchorages used for
attachment of a PFAS must be independent of any anchorage being
used to support or suspend platforms, and must support at least 5,000
lbs. per user attached, or be designed, installed and used as part of a
complete PFAS which maintains a safety factor of at least two, and is
supervised by a qualified person (architect, structural engineer, etc.).
The anchor-point to which this Beam Anchor is attached must
capable of sustaining static loads in directions applied by the personal
fall arrest system of at least 3,600 lbs (or at least twice the expected
dynamic load) with certification of a qualified person (architect, structural
engineer, etc.), or 5,000 lbs in the absence of certification. If multiple
personal fall arrest systems are being attached to the same anchorage,
the minimum values stated above must be multiplied by the number of
users.
