2.11.3.1.3 Rope access technicians should normally descend vertically with the minimum amount of swing (pendulum) to minimize the risk of abrasion to the anchor line or putting unnecessary stress on it or the anchors.2.11.3.1.4 On long descents, anchors providing lateral restraint (e.g. deviation anchors) could be fitted on the anchor lines to enable the rope access technicians to maintain their position without being buffeted too much by the wind.2.11.3.1.5 Deviation anchors are also used to avoid hazards, e.g. sharp edges; hot surfaces. They should be robust enough not to fail at any potential load to which they could be subjected (see Figure 2.8).2.11.3.1.6 The effects of wind on the free end of anchor lines should be taken into account. Care should be taken to ensure that the tail end of anchor lines cannot snag on dangerous objects, such as© IRATA InternationalPart 2: page 56 of 682014-Jul-01IRATA International code of practice for industrial rope access Part 2 of 5: Detailed guidance
