Applicable Standards:
Refer to national standards, including ANSI Z359.1, and local, state and federal
(OSHA 1910.66,
appendix C, 1926.500) requirements for more information on personal fall arrest systems and
associated components.
Extended Suspension:
NOTE: A Full Body Harness is intended as a Personal Fall Arrest System, meaning the user should be
rescued immediately following a fall. A Full Body Harness is not intended for use in extended
suspension applications. If the intended application requires the user to be suspended for an
extended length of time, some form of seated support is recommended (for example: seat board,
suspended work seat, seat sling or boatswain’s chain).
Anchorage Strength:
Anchorage and anchorage strength requirements are dependent on the full body harness application
(see table below). In accordance with ANSI Z359.1, anchorage selected for Personal Fall Arrest
Systems must meet all anchorage strength requirements.
•
Personal Fall Arrest:
Anchorages used for PFAS must be capable of sustaining static loads in the
direction permitted by the PFAS of at least: 3,600 lbs. with certification of a qualified person; or
5,000 lbs. without certification. When more than one PFAS is attached to an anchorage, the
strengths stated above must be met independently at and for each anchorage location.
•
Work Positioning:
The structure to which the work positioning system is attached must sustain
static loads applied in the directions permitted by the work positioning system of at least 3,000
lbs., or twice the potential impact load, whichever is greater. See OSHA1926.502. When more
than one work positioning system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths stated above must
be multiplied by the number of work positioning systems attached to the anchorage.
•
Restraint:
Anchorages selected for rescue systems must be capable of sustaining static loads of
at least: 1,100 lbs. When more than one restraint and travel restraint system is attached to an
anchorage, the strengths stated above must be multiplied by the number of work positioning
systems attached to the anchorage.
