2.11.2.12 Anchors of the type that are fixed in masonry should only be installed (and inspected) by competent persons, who are aware of the numerous safety issues, e.g. minimum distance required between two fixed anchors, minimum distance from any edge, correct depth, solid or hollow masonry. Where possible, anchors should always be installed so that they are loaded in shear. For safety considerations when installing anchor devices, see Part 3, Annex F.2.11.2.13 Anchor slings, which typically are used where there are no suitable anchors to which the ropes can be attached directly, should have a minimum breaking strength of 22 kN if they are made from man-made fibres and a minimum breaking strength of 15 kN if they are made from steel wire or chain. In the USA, the minimum breaking strength for both textile and metal anchor slings is 5000 lbs.
