When are they required?

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
  regulations stipulate that whenever a potential
  for fall at a height of six feet or more exists,
  fall protection must be utilized for the safety
  of workers. The key component of this fall
  protection is the anchorage device.
• OSHA also states that this device must be able to
  support 5,000 lbs.

Industry Importance

• In the construction industry in the U.S., falls
  are the leading cause of worker fatalities. Each
  year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are
  killed and more than 100,000 are injured as a
  result of falls at construction sites.
