ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code Version 2.0
VERSION 2.0 UPDATES INCLUDE:
ANSI/ASSE Z359.6-2009
Safety Requirements for Fall Arresters for Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS)
This Standard is intended for engineers with expertise in designing fall-protection systems. It specifies requirements for the design and performance of complete active fall-protection systems, including travel-restraint and vertical and horizontal fall-arrest systems.
ANSI/ASSE Z359.12-2009
Connecting Components for Personal Fall Arrest Systems
This standard establishes requirements for the performance, design, marking, qualification, test methods and removal from service of connectors.
ANSI/ASSE Z359.13-2009
Personal Energy Absorbers and Energy Absorbing Lanyards
This standard establishes requirements for the performance, design, marking, qualification, instructions, inspection, maintenance and removal from service of energy absorbing lanyards and personal energy absorbers. It is the intention of this standard to require all energy absorbing lanyards and personal energy absorbers to reduce the forces implied on the user to less than 10 G’s (10 times the normal gravitational pull of the Earth). Users must be within the range of 130 to 310 lbs (59 - 140 kg.).
