    Guys
    Have you ever had to add EN 795 hard points to a vessel to allow for crew to connect their fall restraint equipment ( EN 355)

    What is in the spec?
    Is there any rule of thumb? Would a 75mm pipe be classed as such?

    I see in my 'Cyprus Code of Safe Working Practices for Seaman'
    that what you connect your fall restraint equipment to is NOT mentioned yet the web tells me it is for onshore Cyprus workers ( as it would be for all of the EU)
