MAKING CONNECTION

Connecting to the Anchorage
D WALT vertical lifelines are designed to be used by
E
one person only (max 310 lbs (140kg) including all
its materials and tools). The vertical lifeline must be
attached to an anchor point capable of supporting
5000 lbs. (22.2 kN) per worker or meet OSHA
1926.502 requirements for a safety factor of two.
Anchorage requirements based on ANSI are as follows:
a) for fall arrest systems, anchorages must withstand
a static load of 5000 lbs. (22.2 kN) for non-certified
anchorages or two times the maximum arresting force
for certified anchorages.
b) When more than one personal fall arrest system
is attached to an anchorage, the above anchorage
strengths must be multiplied by the number of personal
fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage
Make sure connections are compatible with respect to
size, strength, and shape. Never use an anchor point
which shall not allow the snap hook or carabiner gate to
close and lock, or which is capable of causing a load to be
applied to the gate.
