Fall Arrest Anchor Point Requirements - Web fall protection anchors and anchorage connectors must be independent and capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. Per worker attached, or they may be designed, installed and used under the supervision of a qualified person as part of a complete personal fall arrest system that maintains a safety factor of at least two times the maximum arresting force. (1) lifelines, lanyards and deceleration devices should be attached to an anchorage and connected to the body harness in the same manner as they would be when used to protect employees. Web anchor points must either be able to support 5,000 pounds for each worker, or must meet a safety factor of two. The following sets forth test procedures for personal fall arrest systems as defined in paragraph (d) of § 1910.140. The structure to which a personal fall arrest system is attached must sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the fall arrest system of at least: It also defines the terms and definitions related to personal fall protection systems and their components. That safety factor depends on things like the weight of the employee, the potential falling distance, and the use of deceleration devices that reduce the arresting force. Web this section establishes performance, care, and use criteria for all personal fall protection systems, including anchors, lanyards, deceleration devices, and body harnesses.
