Personal Safety: Anchorage Plates Check

Small but mighty, anchorage plates are critical components of fall protection systems, securely attaching the system to the anchorage. Checking the integrity of each component of the fall protection equipment is critical. The Anchorage Plate Safety Checklist app was created to minimize fall hazards while operating industrial machinery. The app allows operators to conduct a safety inspection on the anchorage connectors by noting the quality of general factors of the equipment including any physical damage like sharp edges or corrosion that would affect strength and then, providing space to note supporting details. Because anchor plates provide a secure point of attachment to a personal fall arrest system, they must be in good condition. This inspection checklist would be key to any safety program, identifying potential hazards and preventing personal fall of a worker from a scaffold and increasing occupational safety at the worksite.
