Fall restraint anchorage point capacity. 3

This interpretation might be of interest.

First you need to " ensure" that a fall arrest siuation cant happen.

This seem to say 3000 lbs is recommended. Not much difference to 5000....
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

The following snaps from OSHA 3146 , Fall Protection

3,000 pounds (13.3 kiloNewtons), whichever is greater.



He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock..
