Fall protection anchor points must either hold 5,000 lb per worker or be engineered by a qualified person to twice the maximum arresting force, under OSHA 1926.502(d)(15). Confusing arrest anchors with positioning or restraint anchors is how anchorages get under-rated. This guide covers every anchor strength and a worked roof example.

A full-body harness only arrests a fall when it is donned correctly and fitted snug. This guide walks through every step - inspection, untangling, shoulder straps, chest and leg buckles, and dorsal D-ring placement - then covers the fingers-flat fit check and what OSHA 1926.502, 1910.140, and ANSI Z359 require before you tie off.
