Gridmesh Anchor?

GRIDMESH ANCHOR
Testing and rating
Within industry there are a large volume of improvised / temporary anchors set every day that will not
pass the minimum requirements as a fall arrest anchor. Think about it this way - A standard passenger
vehicle weighs about 1.5 tonnes. This is approximately equal to a static load of 15kN - the minimum load
requirement for a personal fall arrest anchor.
So ask yourself - if I set up a temporary fall arrest anchor - will it support the weight of
my family car?
Look at these examples of temporary anchors and judge for yourself...
The Gridmesh Anchor (GMA) is a
breakthrough product in personal fall
protection. The patent-pending design
allows a user to set a fall protection
anchor point above a grid mesh clad
structure across two supporting beams that
distribute the load of any fall that occurs.
The product can be set up quickly, without
the risk of a fall, enabling a worker to
access locations below safely without the
need for scaffolding, rope technicians or
elevated working platforms.
The GMA is ideal for use in a multitude
of industrial applications and industries,
including oil & gas, petrochemical plants
onshore and offshore drilling rigs, power
stations to name just a few.
These set ups are not rated, tested or proven to be able to take a fall arrest load.
