The American Society of Safety Professionals has published ANSI/ASSP Z359.6-2026, 'Specifications and Design Requirements For Active Fall Protection Systems.' Intended for qualified engineers, the standard specifies requirements for the design and performance of complete active fall protection systems, including travel restraint, fall arrest, positioning, rope descent, and rescue.
The standard complements the existing Z359 series on personal fall arrest equipment (PFAS) and is aimed at engineering personnel who design fixed anchor systems and collective fall protection installations at construction and industrial sites.
