OSHA fall arrest test weights in the U.S. I believe are 220 lb steel weights. They claim this is the equivalent of a 310 pound man. This is why you will see many beam straps and harnesses with a 310 pound capacity. Other countries use different heavier weights.
The 5000# requirement is for lifeline ANCHOR points.
