| dc.description.abstract | Horizontal fall arrest system design
and implementation for future construction and
maintenance work atop Building 10 of the
International Distribution Center facilities of
Cardinal Health located in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
The fall arrest system shall be in place prior to, and
designed around the installation and maintenance
of a proposed photovoltaic system; and be in
conformance with all Occupational Health and
Safety Administration established regulations and
applicable state laws. The installation is intended
to be permanent as to provide access to general
roofing maintenance, rain gutter and drain
clearing, photovoltaic system and existing Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning system
maintenance and servicing. Analysis indicates the
designed system is capable of withstanding
applicable forces and safely arresting a worker in
the event of a fall.
