F.1.9 It is recommended that structures or natural features to be used for installation or placement of anchor devices are assessed by an engineer, unless it is clear to a competent person that the structure or natural feature is adequately stable and strong. An example of where an engineer might not be required is where an anchor sling of the correct capacity is secured around a solid permanent structure such as a plant room or large steel beam. If any doubt exists about the adequacy of the structure or natural feature, an engineer should make the assessment. The engineer should certify in writing that all combinations of loads in a worst-case situation can be safely withstood by the proposed structure or natural feature, bearing in mind that dynamic loads, e.g. under fall-arrest conditions, can be considerably higher than the static or quasi-static loads imposed by the rope access technician during normal rope access activities.
