Presentation: Best Practices for Suspended Maintenance Anchor Design and Detailing

Description: The design criteria for suspended maintenance and fall protection anchors is complex and decentralized, with requirements spread among the Minnesota Building Code, IBC, OSHA, IWCA, and ANSI. Attendees of this seminar will learn to identify when anchors are required, determine appropriate anchor loading, and specify details that balance strength with constructability.
