2.11 ANCHORAGE & ANCHORAGE STRENGTH: Anchorage and anchorage strength requirements are dependent
on the full body harness application (see Figure 3). In accordance with ANSI Z359.1, anchorages selected for Fall
Arrest Systems must meet the anchorage strength requirements defi ned in Table 2.
Table 2 - Anchorage Strength Requirements
Fall Arrest
1
Non-Certifi ed Anchorages:
5,000 lbs (22.2 kN)
Certifi ed Anchorages
2
:
2 times the Maximum Arresting Force for Certifi ed
Anchorages
Restraint
1
Non-Certifi ed Anchorages
1,000 (4,5 kN)
Certifi ed Anchorages
2
:
2 times the foreseeable force for certifi ed anchorages.
Work Positioning
1
Non-Certifi ed Anchorages
3,000 lbs (13.3 kN)
Certifi ed Anchorages
2
:
2 times the foreseeable force for certifi ed anchorages.
Rescue
1
Non-Certifi ed Anchorages
3,000 lbs (13.3 kN)
Certifi ed Anchorages
2
:
5 times the foreseeable force for certifi ed anchorages.
Climbing
The structure to which a climbing system is attached must sustain the loads required by that
particular system. See the instructions for the climbing system for requirements.
1 Multiple Systems: When more than one of the defi ned system is attached to an anchorage, the strength defi ned for Non-Certifi ed or
Certifi ed anchorages shall be multiplied by the number of systems attached to the anchorage.
2 Certifi ed Anchorage: An anchorage for fall arrest, positioning, restraint, or rescue systems that a qualifi ed person certifi es to be ca-
pable of supporting the potential fall forces that could be encountered during a fall or that meet the criteria for a certifi ed anchorage
prescribed in this standard.
