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 veriied 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 5,000
lbs. (22.2 kN) per attached user (5000 lbs.) or be certiied by a
qualiied person to have strength of not less than 3,600 lbs. (16
kN) per attached user.
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 certiied by a qualiied
person to be able to withstand two times the foreseeable force.
3. For positioning systems, the anchorage strength must be a
minimum of 3000 lbs (13.3 kN) or be certiied by a qualiied
person to have strength of twice the foreseeable force.
