b. Anchorage Structure
Inspect the anchorage structure to ensure it is of adequate strength
and is sound, without sharp edges, corrosion, cracks or anything
else that could weaken the connection. The connectors can be
used vertically, but ensure that the choker has some stop so it will
not be able to move on the structure in the case of a fall.
1. For fall arrest, anchors need to have strength of either 5000
lbs per attached user (22.2kN), or be certied by a qualied
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 (13.3 kN), or be certied by a qualied
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 per attached user (13.3 kN), or be certied
by a qualied person to have strength of twice the foreseeable
force.
4. For rescue systems, the anchorage should withstand a static
load of 3000 lbs per attached user (13.3kN) or be certied by a
qualied person for ve times the foreseeable load.
