1.0 Standards and Requirements

1.1 The TRIREX™, manufactured by Leading Edge Safety LLC, is a dynamic anchor designed to
I
dissipate the energy generated from a fall event into the surrounding substrate and arrest a
S
fall. The TRIREX™ is capable of supporting a Maximum Arresting Force (MAF) of 1,800lbs for
H
up to (3) workers on approved substrates. Therefore, the TRIREX™ is an acceptable
component of a complete active fall arrest system and satisfies those requirements specified
in: ANSI/ASSE Z359.6-2009 "Specifications and Design Requirements for Active Fall
Protection Systems."
1.2 Let it be noted that this mobile fall protection anchorage unit shall only be used as part of a
complete active fall protection system. Therefore, the following criteria must be met to satisfy
ANSI/ASSE Z359.6-2009:
1.2a
1.2b
1.2c
1.2d
1.2e
1.2f
1.3 In addition to satisfying Z359.6, the TRIREX™ is also in compliance with OSHA's "Fall
protection systems criteria and practices" (CFR › Title 29 › Subtitle B › Chapter XVII › Part
1926 › Subpart M › Section 1926.502). Section 1926.502(d)(15) requires that an anchor either
support 5,000 pounds per employee attached or is used as part of a complete personal fall
arrest system. Note that this anchorage unit is never intended to withstand a force of 5,000
lbs per user, but rather to be used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system.
Determining if this complete personal fall arrest system can maintain a safety factor of at
least (2) will require an authorized user to verify the above criteria.
T R ™ I
RI EX
Use of full body harness(s) in compliance with Z359.1-2007 "Safety Requirements for
Personal Fall Arrest Systems, subsystems, and Components"
Use of Lanyard(s) In compliance with Z359.13-2009 "Personal Energy Absorbers and
Energy Absorbing Lanyards"
Use of Connection(s) In compliance with Z359.12-2009 "Connecting Components for
Personal Fall Arrest Systems"
Use of Manufacturer's Recommendations; the TRIREX™ shall not be
installed/positioned/utilized in a manner that violates the literature, instructions,
technical bulletins or any other documentation produced by Leading Edge Safety LLC.
Calculations by an authorized user (qualified person) to verify that the substrate, edge
distance, free fall distance, and the number of workers attached to cart satisfies those
requirements of ANSI Z359.6.
The use of component(s) used in combination with the TRIREX™ that are not covered by
ANSI/ASSE Z359 will not result in an acceptable Active Fall Protection System.
