PS: Version 3 of the Z359 Fall Protection Code includes two new standards: Z359.4-2013 and Z359.13-2013. How do these two standards complement the other standards in the code? Randall: The code intends for most major equipment components or items to have their own individual number. The design and testing requirements within each standard work in concert with the code and other standards. Although the content within Z359.4, Safety Requirements for Assisted-Rescue and Self-Rescue Systems, Subsystems and Components, and Z359.13, Safety Requirements for Lanyards and Energy Absorbers for Personal Fall Arrest Systems, are specific to rescue systems and energy-absorbing lanyards, they have a similar structure, testing methods and general labeling requirements to other standards.
