Vehicles should never be used to tension an access system.© IRATA InternationalAnnex F: Page 18 of 212013-Sep-01IRATA International code of practice for industrial rope access Part 3 of 5: Informative annexes: Annex FF.3.7 Anchor connectors (e.g. scaffold hooks)F.3.7.1 When a connector is attached directly to the structure (as opposed to being attached to an anchor device), the connector effectively becomes an anchor device. See Part 2, 2.7.4 for advice on connectors.F.3.7.2 When attaching any connector directly to the structure, great care should be taken during placement to avoid the possibility of a sideways loading should the connector be subjected to a load, e.g. the weight of a person or the force generated in a fall. This can happen when a connector is attached to an upright on the structure, e.g. a vertical scaffold pole or diagonal latticework on a mast. Connectors are weak when loaded sideways.
