certification. See ANSI Z359.1-1992 for certification definition. When more than
one PFAS is attached to an anchorage, the strengths stated above must be
multiplied by the number of PFAS attached to the anchorage. From OSHA

independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms, and be
capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. per user attached, or be designed,
