Constable Electrical CSA Z259.11 now covers lanyards, straps, and energy absorbers.The purpose of this Standard is to spe

42、cify requirements for the performance, design, testing, and marking of body belts and saddles for work positioning and travel restraint. The major differences from the previous edition are as follows:(a) The term “body belt” is used instead of “safety belt” to avoid creating expectations that these

43、belts could be used to arrest falls.(b) Body belts are classified as Type 1 (linemans belt, previously covered in CSA Z259.3) or Type 2 (belts covered in the previous edition of CSA Z259.1).(c) Arborists saddles, not before covered in the CSA Z259 Standards, have been included.(d) CAN/CSA-Z259.12, C

44、onnecting Components for Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS), is referenced to provide requirements for hardware components such as buckles, D-rings, and snap hooks, resulting in some changes to test requirements.(e) The toluene immersion test of CSA Z259.3 is considered irrelevant to present-day ma

45、nufacturing methods and has been deleted.(f) The requirements in CSA Z259.3 for packaging and for inclusion of instructions for storage and drying are considered irrelevant and have been deleted.This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fall Protection, under the jurisdiction of the S

46、trategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. It will be submitted to the Standards Council of Canada for approval as a National Standard of Canada.February 2005Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and

47、 vice versa) when the sense allows.(2) Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.(3) This publication was developed b

48、y consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Te

49、chnical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this publication.(4) CSA Standards are subject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to the appropriate committee.(5) All enquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretation, should be addressed to Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.
