TENSILE FORCE DISTRIBUTION AT ROOF ANCHOR POST An engineer or qualified person must ensure that the roof structure, to which the TWISTFIX is installed, is able to withstand potential tensile and shear forces which may be imposed at the positions where the roof anchor post is attached. The tensile and shear strength requirements are based on a 2:1 safety anchor according to the EN-795:2012 type A, TS-16451:2013, OSHA 1926.502 and OHSA 1910.66.

One of them being the free fall height. Always make sure there is enough free fall height and it is in accordance with the distance given by the manufacturer. Another safety issue is the correct use and selection of the PPE. These also have to meet and be in accordance with the requirements stated by the manufacturer.
