Compatibility of System Parts

2.5.1 Compatibility of Components and Subsystems
Workman FP Stryder are designed to be used with other MSA Approved products. Use of the
Workman FP Stryder with products made by others that are not approved in writing by MSA may
adversely affect the functional compatibility between system parts and the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
2.5.2 Compatibility of Connectors
Connectors, such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners must be rated at 5000 Ibf (22.2kN) minimum
capacity. MSA connectors meet this requirement. Connecting hardware must be compatible in size,
shape and strength. Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage ("roll out"). Always verify
that the connecting D-ring on the Workman FP Stryder is compatible with the snaphook, or carabiner
of the lanyard subsystem.
2.5.3 Anchorages
The acceptable anchorage for the Workman FP Stryder is a horizontal I-beam. The I-beam must be
configured so that the Workman FP Stryder cannot come off the end of the beam Anchorages for
personal fall arrest systems must either: (a) have a strength capable of supporting and withstanding at
least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) in the directions permitted by the system without failure, or (b), must be
certified by a professional engineer as having the required strength for fall arrest or travel restraint, as
applicable. See ANSI Z359.18 for definition of certification. See ANSI Z359.187 for definition of certif-
icate. When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the anchorage
strengths set forth in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of systems attached to the
anchorage. This requirement is consistent with OSHA requirements under CFR 1910, subpart F,
Section 1910.66, Appendix C. Do not proceed with installation and user of the anchorage connector if
an assessment of strength cannot be made.
