Abstract
A portable anchorage point assembly for use with structures such as railroad tank cars. A base plate having straps extending therefrom includes a rubber base, which is placed on the top surface of the tank car. The rubber base prevents the base plate from slipping on the surface of the tank car. The straps extend around the body of the tank car and are each secured to an I-beam or similar structure at the bottom of the tank car by a load binder assembly and a web sling secured about the I-beam. Once the assembly has been secured about the body of the tank car, one end of a safety line may be attached to the base plate of the portable anchorage point assembly.
