anchorageS

According to EN 795:2012, Anchor devices have been classified into various types, Type A, B, C, D and E. KStrong offers a range of Anchor devices which fall under various such types. Type A Anchor (As Per EN 795:2012)

Type A is an Anchor device with one or more stationary anchor points having the need for a structural anchor or fixing element to fix to the structure. This type of anchor is usually small, and may or may not be removed from the supporting structure due to being fixed, such as with rivets, studs, Bolts, screws or resin bonding.

Type B Anchor (As Per EN 795:2012) This type is an Anchor device with one or more stationary Anchor points, not having the need for a fixing element to fix to the structure. They are designed to be easily transported, as they normally require minimal installation or can be dismantled and moved quickly.

Selecting the Correct Anchor 1- If unsure of the load rating of the anchor point, consult with an engineer. Anchorages must be strong. The best anchorages are i-beams, specially rigging lifelines and other solid fixtures. Never anchor to cable hangers, light fixtures or anything else that is not designed to take a sudden, heavy load. Be sure the anchor point meets certain strength requirements.

2- Make sure your anchor point has been approved by your employer or engineer.

3- Before you hook up to any anchorages, check it for damage.

4- Always attach to an anchor point directly overhead to prevent the pendulum effect.

5- Be sure that you anchor yourself correctly.

6- No two people should use the same anchor point for fall arrest unless it is certified to TS16415-2013.

7- Anchor should be at least 6m above ground level/ clearance area.
