How does the Z359.12 standard harmonize with the other standards included in the Z359 Fall Protection Code?
Z359.12 is an extension of the Z359.1 standard and of the Z359 Fall Protection Code. It took what was already in the Code and improved upon it. Rather than having hardware included with harness, lanyards, etc., Z359.12 addresses only hardware, which makes it easier for someone looking for design and testing information on hardware alone. Harmonization with other standards will still remain, as product standards requiring hardware information will reference the Z359.12 standard. Tim Accursi Tim Accursi has spent the last 17 years as a product integrity manager for a design and manufacturing company for fall protection hardware located in Canada. In this capacity, Accursi was involved in the design, manufacturing, quality assurance and testing of fall protection hardware. He is a member of the ANSI/ASSE Z359 Accredited Standards Committee for Fall Arrest/Protection and chair of the Z359.12 subcommittee for hardware. He is also a member of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard
