These hazards may consist of but are not limited to: Electrical, Chemical, Thermal, Seawater, Corrosive Agents, Explosive Gasses, Toxic Gasses, Moving Machinery, and Sharp Edges. OSHA 1926.502: 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: as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a qualified person. Compatibility of Components Hog Slat Fall Protection Equipment is designed and tested using The GST-LS8035 Cable Grab only. A Qualified Person should make the determination of the Hog Slat equipment compatibility with equipment not manufactured or tested by Hog Slat. Replacement or substitution of equipment not manufactured or tested by Hog Slat may degrade, or reduce, the safety and reliability of the complete system. Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for associated components and subsystems in your personal fall arrest system. Structure Load Requirements The following limitations must be considered prior to installing the Hog Slat Fall Arrest System: The static loads imposed on the system include the weight of the complete cable system and a Safety Factor. The following is an example of static loads imposed on the system for a 35 ft. system: Cable Assembly Weight = 19.4 lbs. 35 ft of 3/8” Stainless steel Cable Total Static Loading: = 19.4 lbs. x 1.2 (Safety Factor) = 23.28 lbs. Dynamic Loading: The following are the Dynamic Loads imposed onto the Fall Arrest System per user: One User = 2,700 lbs. (12 kN) Two Users = 3,320 lbs. (14.76 kN) Three Users = 3,940 lbs. (17.51 kN) Four Users = 4,560 lbs. (20.27 kN) Total Loading: The total load must account for the Static and Dynamic Loading indicated above for the total length of the system. The following is an example of the Total Loading imposed onto the structure given that the example system is 35 ft in length: Static Loading for a 35 ft (10.67 m) system = 23.28 lbs. Dynamic Load for Two Users = 3,320 lbs. Total Loading = 23.28 lbs. + 3,320 lbs. = 3343.28 lbs. WARNING!
