accessible anchorage points in the working
environment. Anchorages should be overhead
when possible and the area beneath and around
them should be clear of obstruction and sharp
edges. Always attach to an anchorage that
is as close to the point of work and as high
above head as possible without restricting free
movement. The user should be aware at all
times of which attachment points to use; if not
immediate obvious they must seek confirmation
from the CP. Always ensure that the means of
attachment to the anchorage is secure before
beginning work.
