OSHA 1926.104 (b) - ANSI A 10.14-1991 / Z 359.1-1992

"Lifelines shall be secured above the point of operation to
an anchorage or structural member capable of supporting
a minimum dead weight of 5,400 pounds."

OSHA 1926.502 (d) (15)

" 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
follows:

1926.502(d)(15)(i)

as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which

maintains a safety factor of at least two; and

1926.502(d)(15)(ii)

under the supervision of a qualified person.

1926.502(d)(16)

Personal fall arrest systems, when stopping a fall, shall:

1926.502(d)(16)(i)

limit maximum arresting force on an employee to 900

pounds (4 kN) when used with a body belt;

1926.502(d)(16)(ii)

limit maximum arresting force on an employee to 1,800

pounds (8 kN) when used with a body harness;

1926.502(d)(16)(iii)

be rigged such that an employee can neither free fall

more than 6 feet (1.8 m), nor contact any lower level;

1926.502(d)(16)(iv)

bring an employee to a complete stop and limit

maximum deceleration distance an employee travels to 3.5
feet (1.07 m); and,

1926.502(d)(16)(v)

have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential

impact energy of an employee free falling a distance of 6
feet (1.8 m), or the free fall distance permitted by the
system, whichever is less.

Note: If the personal fall arrest system meets the criteria

and protocols contained in Appendix C to subpart M, and
if the system is being used by an employee having a
combined person and tool weight of less than 310 pounds
(140 kg), the system will be considered to be in
compliance with the provisions of paragraph (d)(16) of this
section. If the system is used by an employee having a
combined tool and body weight of 310 pounds (140 kg) or
more, then the employer must appropriately modify the
criteria and protocols of the Appendix to provide proper
protection for such heavier weights, or the system will not
be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of
paragraph (d)(16) of this section.
