PURPOSE: The Concrete Detent Anchorage Connector is designed for use as an anchorage attachment point
for a personal fall arrest system, work positioning system, personnel riding system, or rescue system. Two
Concrete Detent Anchors may be used as anchorage connectors for a DBI-SALA Sayfline™ Horizontal Lifeline
System (1 person capacity). See Figure 2 for illustration of the following product applications:
A.
PERSONAL FALL ARREST: The Detent Anchor is used as a component of a personal fall arrest system
to protect the user in the event of a fall. Personal fall arrest systems typically include a full body harness
and a connecting subsystem (energy absorbing lanyard). Maximum permissible free fall is 6 feet.
B.
RESTRAINT: The Detent Anchor is used as a component of a restraint system to prevent the user from
reaching a fall hazard. Restraint systems typically include a full body harness and a lanyard or restraint
line. No vertical free fall is permitted.
C.
WORK POSITIONING: The Detent Anchor is used as a component of a work positioning system to
support the user at a work position. Work positioning systems typically include a full body harness,
positioning lanyard, and a back-up personal fall arrest system. Maximum permissible free fall is 2 feet.
D. PERSONNEL RIDING: The Detent Anchor is used as a component of a personnel riding system to
suspend or transport the user vertically. Personnel riding systems typically include a full body harness,
boatswains's chair or seat board, and a back-up personal fall arrest system. No vertical free fall is
permitted.
E.
