WHAT IT TAKES TO BE
THALER OR EQUAL
When specifications read Thaler or Equal, it is the responsibility of specifiers and building owners to determine what it means to be “Or
Equal”. The following data has been presented to quickly help assess the comparative merits of “competitive” products. Thaler Fall Arrest
Roof Anchors (FARA) products have a number of Value Added features that should be considered when trying to equate the “Or Equal”.
CHECK THE THALER VALUE

COMPETITION ADDED FEATURES
Strongest fall arrest anchors available; anchors are designed to resist without fracture pull-out force of 5400
lbs (24.03 kN), applied in the most adverse direction. Test reports available upon request.
Provides best roof penetration protection; roof anchors are supplied with CSA Approved flashings as tested to
CSA B272-93. Flashings utilize Thaler patented EPDM seals which eliminate flashing maintenance. Note: Thaler
have been manufacturing flashings, anchors, roof supports and roof drains for the roofing industry in North
America for over 30 years.
Condensation free; Anchor post is filled with injection molded urethane insulation which adheres to inner walls
without air pockets (CGSB 51-GP 46MP); provides corrosion protection while adding to product durability.
Versatile Design; roof anchors are available with more eye options, flashing options, fastening options and
different levels of structural performance than any other anchor product available on the market today.
Non-Standard Anchors; Thaler provide elongated and “beefed-up” anchors to accommodate sloped insulation
or lightweight concrete fill and/or custom applications.
$ 7,000,000.00 liability insurance; anchor integrity is backed by $ 3,000,000.00 Commercial General Liability
and $ 4,000,000.00 Umbrella Liability.
Meets all applicable standards; conforms to all Canadian and United States standards, provincial and state
labour/safety codes and materials standards relating to anchor fabrication, window cleaning and other suspended
maintenance operations (including flashing standards).
Samples immediately upon request; supplied without charge to qualified prospects with the provision that they
be returned upon completion of evaluation. Construction professionals and building owners are urged to examine
samples before making a specifying/purchasing decision; Thaler quality always wins the day.
20 year warranty; guaranteed against leaks, condensation and defects in materials and/or manufacture when
installed in accordance with Thaler “Installation Instructions”.
Maintenance-Free (annual inspection excepted); roof anchors are equipped with Thaler pre-formed metal
flashings that never need caulking (CSA B272-93). EPDM seals with “memory” provide constant pressure to
outside of anchor posts to prevent leaks and condensation build-up; see Thaler EPDM Flashing Seals literature
and STACK JACK Flashings literature.
Incorporates air barrier principles; roof anchors employing through deck installation, such as steel deck over
OWSJ, are protected against air leakage by the EPDM flashing seals; see Thaler EPDM Flashing Seals literature.
Aesthetically pleasing; arguably the best looking roof anchor products available on the market today. Clean
assembly without messy caulking or flashing seals.
Complete material disclosure; all material thicknesses, dimensions, grades, finishes and other relevant product
information is indicated on data sheets and in specifications.
100% Re-useable flashing; can be completely dismantled and re-used when re-roofing.
Competent sales and design approach; in the fall protection business Thaler proudly provides optimum,
economical fall protection systems.
Written “Installation Instructions”; provided with every Thaler product.

CSA Z91-02 Health
and Safety Code for
Suspended Equipment
Operations
This document contains extracts from the CSA Z91-02 Standard relating to fall protection anchorages. For complete data, refer to the actual standard.
As indicated by the title change, the scope of this edition of the Standard has been significantly expanded from the previous editions. The focus has broad-
ened from one skilled trade group (window cleaners) to all persons whose profession demands that they work from equipment(for example, swing stages,
bosun's chairs, and inspection cages) suspended from the side of buildings or large structures.
This Standard outlines the safe use of suspended equipment for the purposes of building maintenance, repairs, cleaning, renovation work, and inspections.
It was prepared by knowledgeable and experienced persons employed in those areas and industries that are involved in building maintenance operations
and construction trades.
The Standard is recommended for adoption by federal, provincial, and municipal authorities and by provincial safety associations. It is also recommended
for use by architects, engineers, and contractors engaged in constructing commercial, industrial, residential, or multi-use buildings and by companies
engaged in building maintenance operations.
PARAGRAPH REQUIREMENT
REFERENCE
Scope
1.1 This Standard includes requirements for the safe operation of various types of suspended equipment used to gain
access to interior or exterior, or both, sides of buildings or structures. Much of the equipment referred to in this
Standard is designed, installed, inspected, and tested in accordance with CAN/CSA-Z271. It does not include crane-
suspended platforms or baskets (see CAN/CSAZ150), multi-point bridge platforms, or hanging scaffolds.
1.2 This Standard specifies the safety requirements for suspended equipment and rolling stages normally used for (but not
limited to) window cleaning operations, general cleaning, repair, painting, maintenance, inspection, and construction
operations and similar work.
Note: This coverage of a wide range of professional trades is greatly expanded from the focus on window cleaning in
previous editions of the Standard.
Fall Protection
4.9 Persons working on a surface within 2 m of an unprotected edge, where they may fall onto a hazardous substance or
object, or at a height of 3 m or more above the ground, the adjacent roof level, or an acceptable landing without the
protection of guardrails or other devices to guard against falls, shall wear a fall-arrest full body harness with lanyard.
The fall protection system shall be attached to anchors, or to substantial members on the building, at all times.
Inspection and
Maintenance
Records
5.1 Before using any suspended equipment or permanently installed support systems, operators should verify that mainte-
nance or inspection logs, or both, indicate that the system has been subjected to required maintenance or inspections,
or both. If the inspection logs are not present or do not indicate that the required maintenance and inspection have been
performed, the equipment should not be used until these requirements can be assured.
5.2.3 Suspension lines shall be in line with the point of suspension for their entire length unless the suspension system is
designed specifically for angled line work.
5.2.4 Where the suspension height exceeds 90 m, mechanical winch equipment shall be used to raise or lower the lines.
I-40
REFERENCE
Lifeline and
Tie-back Anchors
5.4.1 Tie-back and lifeline anchors shall be in accordance with CAN/CSA-Z271
5.4.2 Lifelines and suspension system tie-backs shall be secured to separate anchors except as noted in Clouse 5.4.3
5.4.3 Double-eye anchor system may be used to secure both a tie-back and a lifeline, provided that the anchor system has been
designed for the application of dual loading (both in form and in strength).
5.4.4 Lifeline and tie-back anchors for portable outriggers should be located in line with the point of suspension whenever practical
but shall not be offset more than 3 m measured horizontally from running at the right angle to the building face at the point
of suspension. The angle created by the offset distance shall not exceed 25° (see Figure 1).
Note: When the tie-back is not in line with the outrigger, additional lunes may be used to secure the outrigger.
5.4.5 The tie-back anchor elevation for a portable outrigger shall not be more than 1 m above the point of suspension.
5.4.6 Where the requirements of Clouse 5.4.4 cannot be met, line deflectors attached at the perimeter of the structure may be used
where the offset angle of a lifeline exceeds 25°. Deflectors shall be engineered to resist all applied loading and shall support
the line(s) in a manner that does not reduce the strength of the line or cause damage to the line.
Note: the applied loading is considered to be derived from the 22.2 kN (5000 lbf) tie-back anchpr load requrement specified
in CAN/CSA-Z271.

before moving within 2 m of the work surface edge.
5.5.7 Outrigger beams and parapet wall clamps shall be installed and tied back to the anchors in a secure manner. Tie-backs
shall be 8 mm (5/16 in) wire rope or other lines of equivalent strength. Tie-backs shall be installed at right angles to
the face of the building wherever possible.
5.5.8 Outrigger beams and other portable suspension supports shall not be made of wood and shall be counter-balanced or
otherwise secured to support a mass no less than 4 times the static load, or 4 times the hoist capacity when using
electrically powered hoists.
Note:The static load for manually operated platforms is considered to be the total of the platform dead weight, including
the hoists and accessories, divided by the number of suspension ropes plus the full-rated live load capacity of the platform.
5.5.9 Supports shall be labeled to indicate maximum capacity. Counterweighted systems shall be labeled to indicate counterweight
requirements. The weight of each counterweight used shall be permanently marked on the body of the counterweight.
5.5.10 Where counterweights are used, they shall be securely attached to the outrigger beams and shall be made of solid,

2,250 pounds (10 kN) is applied.
REFERENCE REQUIREMENT (Section III - Additional Non-Mandatory Guidelines)
H) Tie-off (1) One of the most important aspects of personal fall protection systems is fully planning the system "before" it is put
Considerations into use. Probably the most overlooked component is planning for suitable anchorage points. Such planning should
ideally be done before the structure or building is constructed so that anchorage points can be incorporated during
construction for use later for window cleaning or other building maintenance. If properly planned, these anchorage
points may be used "during" construction, as well as afterwards.
(2) Employers and employees should at all times be aware that the strength of a personal fall arrest system is based
on its being attached to an anchoring system which does not significantly reduce the strength of the system (such as
a properly dimensioned eye-bolt/snap-hook anchorage). Therefore, if a means of attachment is used that will reduce
the strength of the system, that component should be replaced by a stronger one, but one that will also maintain the
appropriate maximum arrest force characteristics.
(4) Tie-off of a rope lanyard or lifeline around an "H" or "I" beam or similar support can reduce its strength as much as
70 percent due to the cutting action of the beam edges. Therefore, use should be made of a webbing lanyard or wire
core lifeline around the beam; or the lanyard or lifeline should be protected from the edge: or free fall distance should
be greatly minimized.
(6) Horizontal lifelines may, depending on their geometry and angle of sag, be subjected to greater loads than the
impact load imposed by an attached component. When the angle of horizontal lifeline sag is less than 30 degrees, the
impact force imparted to the lifeline by an attached lanyard is greatly amplified. For example, with a sag angle of 15
degrees, the force amplification is about 2:1 and at 5 degrees sag, it is about 6:1. Depending on the angle of sag,
and the line's elasticity, the strength of the horizontal lifeline and the anchorages to which it is attached should be
increased a number of times over that of the lanyard. Extreme care should be taken in considering a horizontal lifeline
for multiple tie-offs. The reason for this is that in multiple tie-offs to a horizontal lifeline, if one employee falls, the
movement of the falling employee and the horizontal lifeline during arrest of the fall may cause other employees to also
fall. Horizontal lifeline and anchorage strength should be increased for each additional employee to be tied-off. For
these and other reasons, the design of systems using horizontal lifelines must only be done by qualified persons.
Testing of installed lifelines and anchors prior to use is recommended.
I-49
REFERENCE REQUIREMENT (Section III - Additional Non-Mandatory Guidelines)
I) Vertical Lifeline As required by the standard, each employee must have a separate lifeline when the lifeline is vertical. The reason for
Considerations this is that in multiple tie-offs to a single lifeline, if one employee falls, the movement of the lifeline during the arrest of
the fall may pull other employees' lanyards, causing them to fall as well.
K) Free-Fall The employer and employee should at all times be aware that a system's maximum arresting force is evaluated under
Consideration normal use conditions established by the manufacturer, and in no case using a free fall distance in excess of six feet
(1.8 m). A few extra feet of free fall can significantly increase the arresting force on the employee, possibly to the point
of causing injury. Because of this, the free fall distance should be kept at a minimum, and, as required by the standard,
in no case greater than six feet (1-8 m). To help assure this, the tie-off attachment point to the lifeline or anchor should
be located at or above the connection point of the fall arrest equipment to belt or harness. (Since otherwise additional
free fall distance is added to the length of the connecting means (i.e. lanyard)). Attaching to the working surface will
often result in a free fall greater than six feet (1.8 m). For instance, if a six foot (1.8 m) lanyard is used, the total free
fall distance will be the distance from the working level to the body belt (or harness) attachment point plus the six feet
(1.8 m) of lanyard length. Another important consideration is that the arresting force which the fall system must
withstand also goes up with greater distances of free fall, possibly exceeding the strength of the system.
M) Obstruction The location of the tie-off should also consider the hazard of obstructions in the potential fall path of the employee.
Considerations Tie-offs which minimize the possibilities of exaggerated swinging should be considered. In addition, when a body belt
is used, the employee's body will go through a horizontal position to a jack-knifed position during the arrest of all falls.
Thus, obstructions which might interfere with this motion should be avoided or a severe injury could occur.

Memorandum to Regional
Administrators for Descent
Control Devices
This document contains extracts from an OSHA Standards Interpretation and Compliance Letter (04/07/1999 - Procedures and precautions for employees
using descent control equipment). The extracts refer to a Memorandum to Regional Administrators (March 12, 1991) from Patricia K. Clark, Director,
Directorate of Compliance Programs. The subject relates to a December 5, 1989 letter from Mr. Thomas J. Shepwich to Mr. Carl A. Pedersen regarding
Descent Control Devices.
The purpose of the memorandum is to clarify statements made in the above-referenced letter regarding the use of descent control equipment by employ-
ees performing building exterior cleaning, inspection and maintenance. The extracts pertain to fall protection anchorages.
REQUIREMENT
Descent control equipment (friction devices such as "Sky Genies", "racks" and "figure eights") is not covered by existing Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Therefore, the Agency addresses the safety of descent control devices through its enforcement of section
5(a)(1) of the OSH Act. Under this approach, OSHA references the safety principles applicable to similar equipment (in this case, boatswains’ chairs,
single-point and two-point suspended scaffolds) and national consensus standards (such as ANSI A39.1-1987, with addenda A through C, "Safety
Requirements for Window Cleaning") insofar as they are pertinent to the subject matter. As indicated in the December 5, 1989 letter, OSHA allows
employees to use descent control equipment, provided that the equipment is used in accordance with the instructions, warnings and design limita-
tions set by manufacturers or distributors. In addition, the Agency expects employers whose employees use descent control devices to implement
procedures and precautions, as follows:
1. Training of employees in the use of the equipment before it is used;
2. Inspection of equipment each day before use;
3. Proper rigging, including sound anchorages and tiebacks, in all cases, with particular emphasis on providing tiebacks when counterweights,
cornice hooks, or similar non-permanent anchorage systems are used;
4. Use of a separate fall arrest system (including bodybelt, sit harness, or full body harness; rope grab or similar device; lifeline; and anchorage (all
of which are completely independent of the friction device and its support system), so that any failure in a friction device, support seat (or harness),
support line, or anchorage system will not affect the ability of the fall arrest system to operate and quickly stop the employee’s fall;
5. All lines installed (such as by using knots, swages or eye splices) when rigging descent control devices shall be capable of sustaining a minimum
tensile load of 5,000 pounds.
6. Provisions are made for rescue;
7. Ropes are effectively padded where they contact edges of the building, anchorage, obstructions, or other surfaces which might cut or weaken the rope;
8. Provisions are made for intermittent stabilization for descent in excess of 130 feet. In accordance with ANSI A39.1-1987 (and addenda a-c),
emergency descent devices are prohibited for use in window cleaning. That statement pertains to devices designed only for emergency use. The
statement would not preclude the use of descent control equipment designed to be used for window cleaning, nor would it preclude the use of
devices that are designed for both window cleaning and emergency descent, provided these devices are used in accordance with the guidance
outlined in this memorandum.

Appendix C - Anchor
Placement for NOTE: These appendices are intended to be used only as a reference or guideline and are not to be considered a part of the
Working Lines, ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 Window Cleaning Safety Standard.
Lifelines and The following recommendations are a guideline for the placement and installation of permanent anchorages on buildings where
Tie-Back Lines workers will be using suspended access equipment to perform window cleaning. The ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 Standard presently requires
that working lines, lifelines and tie back lines be anchored either in line with the suspended worker or within 15 degrees of perpendicular.
New Construction Newly constructed buildings compliance with the requirement of "in line" is easily done during the design phase of the building.
Anchors should be placed in line to the work area so as to prevent displacement of lines under load and/or a fall greater than 6 feet
(1800 mm). Placement of anchors shall not be within 6 feet (1800 mm) of the roof edge unless fall protection is provided
to access those anchors safely. In no case should anchor spacing exceed 12 feet (3.6 m). In essence, the risk to the worker is greatly
reduced by placing the anchors further back from the roof edge. (12 feet [3.6 m] to 50 feet [15.2 m]).
Existing Buildings The installation or identification of anchorages on existing buildings will vary from that of new buildings. Existing buildings can
present obstacles that will prevent ideal anchor placement. However, the safety of the worker(s) shall be of utmost importance when
designing an anchor system to be installed on an existing building in compliance with Section 14.6. Ideally, anchors are to be placed
in line with the suspended worker(s). Where this is impracticable, anchors may be offset no more than 15 degrees from in line
(perpendicular) provided displacement of the rope under load can be prevented. (see Fig. AP-1)
Fig. AP-1 Suggested Anchor Placement
As with new construction, placement of anchors shall not be within 6 feet (1800 mm) of the roof edges unless fall protection is
provided to access those anchors safely. In no case should anchor spacing exceed 12 feet (3.6 m). As stated for new buildings, the
risk to the worker(s) is greatly reduced by placing the anchors further back from the roof edge. (12 feet [3.6 m] to 50 feet [15.2 m]).

Lifeline Systems)
This document contains extracts from the CSA-Z259.13-04. Standard relating to horizontal lifeline fall protection systems. This is the first edition of CSA
Z259.13, Flexible horizontal lifeline systems. It is part of the Z259 series of Standards for components of personal fall-arrest systems.
The purpose of this Standard is to specify requirements related to the performance, design, testing, labeling, and provision of instructions for every element
of flexible horizontal lifeline systems, including every element of the system from anchorage connector to anchorage connector, it does not, however, cover
anchorages or anchor design.
This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fall Protection, under the Jurisdiction of the Strategic 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.

FScope This Standard specifies requirements related to the performance, design, testing, labeling, and provision of instructions
for pre-engineered flexible horizontal lifeline systems (FHLSs) for the attachment of personal protective equipment for
1.1 protection against falls from a height. These systems are used for arresting falls and may be used for work positioning
and travel restraint.
Minimum Strength The minimum strength of a newly assembled FHLS shall be at least twice the anticipated MAL when the system is
Requirement installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The minimum strength shall be verified by the
4.4 test procedures described in Clause 7.3.An FHLS should not be used under conditions that could diminish the strength
of the system, such as with worn, broken, missing, altered, or corroded components, or after the system has arrested
a fall or been exposed to the forces equivalent to those created by arresting a fall.
End Anchorage The manufacturer of an FHLS shall provide data on maximum arrest loads (MALs) to enable the certification organiza-
Strength Requirement tion to accurately assess the minimum strength requirements for the end anchorages. Each end anchorage shall be
4.5 rated at a minimum strength at least twice the MAL in the direction of intended loading when the FHLS is installed and
used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Minimum Clearance An FHLS shall be designed, tested, and installed in a manner that will provide adequate clearance in the potential path
Requirement of a fall for those foreseeable conditions of use intended by the manufacturer of the system. FHLS manufacturers shall
give FHLS owners data that is sufficient for accurately assessing the minimum clearance required for each FHLS
4.6 configuration when the system is installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (including a
safety margin of 1 m (3.3 ft or more).
Wire Rope Lines The minimum breaking strength of a terminated wire rope shall be at least twice the MAL but not less than 28.9 kN
4.6 (6500 lbf). The minimum rope diameter shall be 8 mm (5/16 in). Wire rope lines shall comply with CSA G4.
