This document is a technical specification section (Section 112429.19) for a Plain and Trussed Monorail Fall Protection System, prepared by Fuss & O'Neill for the Globe Hollow Sedimentation Basin Safety Consulting project. The specification outlines comprehensive requirements for a fall protection system with a maximum span of 13 feet between anchors, designed to allow users to walk uninterrupted along the entire length of the system with secure anchorage and freedom of movement. The system is intended to support up to two users simultaneously and must comply with OSHA 1926.502 regulations, with a minimum allowable force on anchors of 1,500 lbs.

The fall protection system will be fabricated using 316 Stainless Steel components, including a 7x7, 5/16-inch cable with 8,500 lbs breaking strength, electropolished stainless steel end anchorage connectors, and a 180 lbs tensioner. Key performance requirements include delegated design by a qualified professional engineer, structural performance within OSHA limits, and installation by manufacturer-authorized, trained, and certified personnel. The specification mandates a one-year correction period after substantial completion and requires a lifetime manufacturer warranty, with detailed provisions for product data submission, shop drawings, installer certification, and comprehensive training for the owner's personnel.
