ANSI/ASSP Z359.14 – Safety Requirements for Self-Retracting Devices for Personal Fall Arrest and Rescue Systems
The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum requirements for self-retracting devices that are used in occupations requiring personal protection against falls from heights and applies to the manufacturers, distributers, purchasers, and authorized persons who use such equipment.
ANSI/ASSP Z359.18 – Safety Requirements for Anchorage Connectors for Active Fall Protection Systems
The purpose of this standard is to protect workers in occupations requiring personal protection from falls from heights, by providing verifiable requirements for the design and performance of anchorage connectors, along with test methods to assess conformity to these requirements.
ANSI/ASSP Z359.12 – Connecting Components for Personal Fall Arrest Systems
The purpose of this standard is to ensure the performance, design, marking, qualification, test methods, and removal from service of connectors used in personal protective equipment (PPE) for fall arrest.
ANSI/ASSP Z359.11 – Safety Requirements for Full Body Harnesses
This standard establishes requirements for the performance, design, marking, qualification, instruction, training, test methods, inspection, use, maintenance and removal from service of full body harnesses (FBH). FBH’s are used for fall arrest, positioning, travel, restraint, suspension and/or rescue applications for users within the capacity range of 130 to 310 pounds.
ANSI/ISEA 138 – American National Standard for Performance and Classification for Impact-Resistant Gloves
The purpose of this standard is to provide manufacturers with a mechanism to classify their products for specified impact protection. The information from this testing and classification can be used to help users to select appropriate gloves.
ANSI/ASSP Z359.13 – Personal Energy Absorbers And Energy Absorbing Lanyards
This standard establishes requirements for the performance, design criteria, marking, qualification and verification testing, instructions, inspections, maintenance and removal from service of personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards for users within the capacity range of 130-310 pounds. It is the intention of this standard to require all personal energy absorbers and energy absorbing lanyards to reduce the forces implied on the user to less than 10 Gs (10 times the normal gravitational pull of the earth). Users below 130 pounds may experience forces higher than 10 Gs.
ANSI/ASSE Z359.15 – Safety Requirements For Single Anchor Lifelines And Fall Arrest For Personal Fall Arrest And Rescue Systems
This standard establishes requirements for the design criteria, qualifications testing (performance requirements), marking and instructions, user inspections, maintenance and storage and removal from single anchor lifelines and fall arresters for users within the capacity range of 130 to 310 pounds.
ANSI/ASSP Z359.1 – The Fall Protection Code
This standard specifies minimum guidelines for the processes, systems, and components used in a managed fall protection program, and it establishes roles for the other ANSI/ASSP Z359 (or ANSI/ASSE Z359) standards.
ANSI/ASSE Z359.4 – Safety Requirements For Assisted-Rescue And Self Rescue Systems, Subsystems And Components.
Establishes requirements for the performance, design, marking, qualification, instruction, training, use, maintenance and removal from service of connectors, harnesses, lanyards, anchorage connectors, winchets/hoists, descent control devices, rope tackle blocks and self-retracting lanyards with integral rescue capability comprising rescue systems used in preplanned self-rescue and assisted-rescue applications for 1-2 persons.
ANSI/ISEA 121 – American National Standard For Dropped Object Prevention Solutions
This standard establishes minimum design, performance, testing and labeling requirements for solutions that reduce dropped objects incidents in industrial and occupational settings. Dropped objects include hand tools, instrumentation, small parts, structural components and other items that have to be transferred and used at heights. These objects have the opportunity of becoming dropped objects potentially resulting in struck-by injury or fatality or damage to equipment. This standard focuses on preventative solutions actively used by workers to mitigate these hazards.
