Warning:
No alteration or modication of any fall protection equipment
is permitted for any reason unless authorized in writing by Werner Co.
b. Compatibility.
Verify compatibility of all subsystems being used. Werner
products connected to Werner
products should be compatible, but
connection to other products should
be veried for compatibility to ensure
there is no possibility of accidental
detachment from side-loading,
rollout, non-standard closures, etc.
c. Anchorage Strength
Verify that Chosen Anchorages are Appropriate.
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 (13.3kN), or be certied by a qualied
person to be able to withstand two times the foreseeable force.
