the suitability of the knot for the task and the anticipated way in which it may be loaded, including the potential forces envisaged;c)the reduction of strength in the anchor line, device lanyard or anchor lanyard that the knot creates;d)the ease with which the knot may be tied and untied;e) where required, the ability of the knot to pass through or over potential obstructions, e.g. pulleys.The tails of all knots should be at least 100 mm long, once the knot has been set. Knots2.11.5.4 should never be tied in anchor lines made from wire rope.The reduction in the strength of the rope caused by the knot varies, dependent upon the 2.11.5.5 type of knot and the accuracy and neatness with which it is tied. Neatening a knot, e.g. making sure the ropes in the knot are parallel and tightened equally, is known as dressing. Typical strength losses, showing the lower and upper values between a well-dressed knot and a poorly-dressed knot, are:a) scaffold knot: 23 % to 33 %;b)
