Tripods and quadpods can be used to provide an anchor point for the working line directly above the desired point of access, e.g. above a manhole, see Figure F.7. They should be positioned only on stable and even surfaces and placed in such a way that they cannot become accidentally dislodged during use. Tripods and quadpods should be able to withstand a static load of at least 15 kN when tested vertically downwards from the anchor point. This should be confirmed by the manufacturer. Account should be taken of the need for the safety line to be anchored independent of the tripod or quadpod, e.g. as shown in Figure F.7.F.3.3 Deadweight anchorsF.3.3.1 Deadweight anchors are one way of providing anchor points on roofs where no other appropriate anchor points exist. They typically comprise a weighted metal base with an anchor point to which an anchor line may be attached.
