USE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
FOR MATERIALS HANDLING
A two person fall protection anchorage device for use on steel structures
covered by grid mesh, allowing workers to work directly below the platform.
This manual should be used as part of an employee training program.
DESCRIPTION:
The Gridmesh Anchor (GMA) is designed to be a part of a hauling system for use on suitable steel
structures that are covered by trafficable gridmesh. This application might typically be in processing plants,
on oil rigs and other applications in chemical plants, mining and oil & gas industries.
Gridmesh anchors do not place any load on the trafficable areas of the walkway in a way that would
damage it. Issues such as sagging or bending by placing higher loads is avoided as the GMA design will
direct any impact loads directly into the structure to which the mesh is attached. This ensures that the GMA
will place no more load than would otherwise be directed under traffic conditions or if using alternative
means of access such as rope access systems.
