Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment shall be independent of any
anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least
5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as part
of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and
under the supervision of a qualified person.
ANSI Z359.2 states that anchorages selected for fall arrest systems must have a strength capable of
sustaining static loads, applied in all permitted directions by the system:
A) no less than 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) for non-certified anchorages; or
B) at least two times the maximum arresting force for certified anchorages;
C) according to ANSI Z359.6,
Specifications and Design Requirements for Active Fall
Protection Systems.
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to the anchorage, the strength in (A) or
(B) must be multiplied by the number of personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS

All connecting subsystems must only be coupled to compatible connectors. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.140
and 1926.502 prohibit snap hooks from being engaged to certain objects unless two requirements are
met: snap hook must be a locking type and must be “designed for” making such a connection. Under
OSHA “designed for” means that the manufacturer of the snap hook specifically designed the snap
hook to be used to connect to the equipment in question.
The following connections must be avoided because they can result in rollout* when a non-locking
snap hook is used:
• Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal lifeline.
• Two (or more) snap hooks connected to one D-ring.
• Two snap hooks connected to each other.
• A snap hook connected back on its integral lanyard.
• A snap hook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.
• Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snap
hook dimensions that would allow the snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion
of the snap hook.
*Rollout:
A process by which a snap hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another
connector or object to which it is coupled.
