ENGLISH
OSHA states:
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 qualied person.
ANSI Z359.1-2007 states that anchorages in a personal fall arrest system must
have a strength capable of sustaining static loads, applied in all permitted
directions by the system, of at least:
(a) two times the maximum arrest force permitted on the system when
certication exists, or
(b) 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) in the absence of certication
The strength in (a) and (b) must be multiplied by the number of personal fall
arrest systems attached to the anchorage, when more than one personal fall
arrest system is attached to the anchorage.
Anchorages used in work positioning systems must be capable of supporting
loads of 3,000 pounds (13.3 kN) for non-certied anchorages or two times the
foreseeable force for certied anchorages per ANSI Z359.2-2007.
Anchorages used in rescue and controlled descent systems must be capable of
supporting loads of 3,100 pounds (13.8 kN) for non-certied anchorages or a 5:1
safety factor for certied anchorages per ANSI Z359.4-2007.
ANCHORAGE CONNECTORS
Anchorage connectors function as an interface between the anchorage and
the personal fall arrest system, for the purpose of coupling the system to the
anchorage. The Tripod is the anchorage connector and is designed to meet
a 5,000 pound tensile load when statically tested in accordance with the
requirements of the ANSI Z359.1-2007 standard.
CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
COMPATIBILITY LIMITATIONS
All connecting subsystems must only be coupled to compatible connectors.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 prohibits 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 29
CFR 1926.502 "designed for" means that the manufacturer of the snap hook

Page 6
ENGLISH
specically 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. (ANSI
Z359.0)
