Anchorages
Anchorage points used for Personal Fall Arrest Systems must be designed to meet the requirements set forth by
ANSI Z359.1-1992, section 7.2.3, which is consistent with OSHA 1910.66 Appendix C. Anchorages must have
strength capable of supporting static loads, applied in the direction permitted by the PFAS, of at least:
(a)
3,600 lbs. when certification exists; or
(b)
5,000 lbs. in the absence of certification
If more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the anchorage strengths set forth in (a)
and (b) of this section must be multiplied by the number personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
