Provide fall protection anchors permanently attached to ceiling structure. Provide cable lifeline system to allow continuous travel past intermediate anchors. Design Requirements: Anchors and accessories comprising system of following Ceiling-mounted anchor points, spaced as indicated by manufacturer, for safety snap connection by individual workers capable of withstanding a safety factor of 2 meeting the requirements of OSHA 1926.502(d)(8). Continuous stainless cable lifeline restrained by swaged terminations at anchor points, suitable for multiple safety snap connections along cable between anchors. Tensioning system. In-line shock absorber to reduce arresting force as determined by manufacturer. Pass-thru technology allowing cable shuttle to run freely past intermediate anchors without the need to disconnect from the fall protection system. Performance Requirements: System and components tested for the resistance of the following loads: Fall Restraint: 4 persons simultaneously applied Fall Arrest: 2 persons simultaneously applied Provide engineered system capable of withstanding a safety factor of 2 meeting the requirements of OSHA 1926.502(d)(8). Design system to limit loads on horizontal lifeline anchors to 1,800 pounds.
