Abstract:
1. A fall arrest safety anchorage device made of metal for mounting on a rigid planar substrate comprising: a mounting plate wherein said mounting plate has a planar mounting surface, a first positioning member wherein said first positioning member is angularly attached to said mounting plate at a predetermined first position and a predetermined first angle, a second positioning member wherein said second positioning member is angularly attached to said first positioning member at a predetermined second position and a predetermined second angle, and a safety equipment receiving member wherein said safety equipment receiving member is angularly attached to said second positioning member at a predetermined third position and a predetermined third angle, and said safety equipment receiving member is adapted to receive and to secure personal fall arrest safety equipment; and wherein said fall arrest safety anchorage device is secured to a planar surface mounting area of said rigid planar substrate by mounting means of said mounting plate such that said planar mounting surface of said mounting plate is adjacent to said planar surface mounting area and such that said first positioning member extends outward from said mounting plate and said planar surface mounting area, and said second positioning member extends outward from said first positioning member so that said safety equipment receiving member clears said planar surface mounting area by a predetermined planar parallel clearance as measured parallel to said planar surface mounting area and by a predetermined planar perpendicular clearance as measured perpendicular to said planar surface mounting area so that said safety equipment receiving member is at a desired location for receiving and securing personal fall arrest safety equipment.
