P-00041-10 MD Post Concrete Bolt-On Stanchion
The Malta Dynamics P-00041-10 is the bolt-on version of the MD Post safety stanchion. It bolts to a concrete slab or a steel structure, giving a crew an easy-to-install tie-off point at height before flooring or permanent fall protection is available. Each post is sold individually and serves as the foundation post for a Malta Dynamics temporary horizontal lifeline system.
Two stanchions span up to 60 feet of cable to build a two-worker horizontal lifeline, or a single post can serve as a direct tie-off for up to two workers using self-retracting lifelines. It mounts to concrete with four 3/4 inch diameter anchors rated for a minimum 9,000 lb ultimate tension each, or to steel with a 1/2 inch minimum flange, and meets OSHA 1926 Subpart M.
Who Needs This Product
The P-00041-10 is an anchorage stanchion for crews working on concrete decks or steel structures before permanent fall protection is in place - concrete and precast crews, general contractors, and industrial maintenance teams. It is the bolt-on post in the Malta Dynamics MD Post horizontal lifeline family. Personal fall protection never attaches to the stanchion directly. Each worker ties off to the horizontal lifeline cable assembly between two posts, or to a self-retracting lifeline rigged to the post, while wearing an ANSI full body harness.
Features
Bolts to concrete or steel
Mounts to a concrete slab with four 3/4 inch anchors, or to a steel structure with a 1/2 inch minimum flange, for a fixed and repeatable tie-off point.
Rated anchorage
The concrete anchoring calls for 3/4 inch anchors with a minimum 9,000 lb ultimate tension each, and steel fasteners Grade 5 or better.
Anchor post or lifeline post
Use one post as a direct tie-off for up to two workers on self-retracting lifelines, or pair two posts to build a horizontal lifeline up to 60 feet.
Two-worker rated system
A complete two-post system safely accommodates a maximum of two workers, each up to 310 lb including tools and equipment.
Powder-coated steel build
An A-36 steel base and 2-1/2 inch Schedule 40 steel tube with a powder-coat finish stand up to repeated jobsite reuse.
Sold individually
Each MD Post ships as a single stanchion so you order exactly the post count your span and layout require.

Never tie off directly to the stanchion. Personal fall protection attaches only to the horizontal lifeline cable assembly or to a self-retracting lifeline rigged per the manual - never to the post itself. Affix each post with four 3/4 inch concrete anchors rated for at least 9,000 lb ultimate tension, verify the structure with a competent person, never exceed two workers per system, and calculate fall clearance. A 60 foot system can let a fallen worker drop as much as 15 feet below work level.
Compliance Standards
OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M
Construction fall protection, including the anchorage and horizontal lifeline requirements under 1926.502(d).
ANSI Z359.1
Fall protection code the MD Post horizontal lifeline system is tested to as a complete assembly.
9,000 lb Anchor Tension

SRL Arrest Force Limit
When used with a self-retracting lifeline, the SRL must limit maximum arrest force to 1,350 lb or less.
Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Install per the Malta Dynamics MD Post horizontal lifeline system manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check each stanchion and cable assembly for shipping or prior-use damage before installation.
- Verify structure. Confirm the concrete or steel can carry the system loads, verified by a competent or qualified person.
- Bolt the posts. Affix each stanchion to concrete with four 3/4 inch anchors rated for 9,000 lb ultimate tension each, or to steel with Grade 5 or better fasteners, and torque per the anchor manufacturer.
- Rig the lifeline. Connect the energy absorber end of each horizontal lifeline assembly to the center post and the clamp and thimble end to each end post, securing every shackle with the nut and cotter pin.
- Tension the cable. Pretension at the turnbuckle to the manual's sag chart - 5 to 6 inch sag on a 41 to 60 foot span - and torque all nuts to 45 ft-lb.
- Verify clearance. Confirm fall clearance below the work surface before any worker ties off.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, and walk the installed line weekly applying moderate lateral pressure by hand. Re-torque any loose mounting bolts. Remove the system from service for any of the conditions below.
- Stanchion: bending, cracks, or corrosion on the base or tube.
- Mounting: loose, missing, or corroded anchors or fasteners - re-torque or replace before use.
- Energy absorber: any elongation showing black beyond the white band - the absorber is single use and must be replaced.
- Cable and hardware: kinks, broken wires, corrosion, or damaged shackles, thimbles, or turnbuckle.
- Labels: must remain legible and intact.
Retirement trigger: after any fall-arrest event the system must not be used again until carefully inspected, and any deployed energy absorber must be retired and replaced.
