ALBAT OSHA Electrical Transmission And Distribution (ET&D) Practice Exam

How many pounds must the anchorage for fall protection support?

3,000 6,000 5,000 4,000

Correct Answer:

5,000

Explanation:

The anchor point for fall protection must be able to withstand a minimum of 5,000 pounds for each employee attached. This requirement accounts for the dynamic forces generated when a fall is arrested, ensuring the anchor won’t fail and the safety system can function properly. If more than one worker is connected to the same anchor, the anchor must be capable of supporting the combined load (5,000 pounds per person). The other options do not meet this OSHA-stated minimum, so they would not be considered safe or compliant for typical fall-arrest setups.
