FALL CLEARANCE CHARTS
Required Fall Clearance has been provided within the charts below. To determine Required Fall Clearance:
1. Locate your first connector (1). Measure the Anchorage Height (A) and Maximum Work Radius (W) of your connector,
relative to the height of your D-ring. Place your first connector in the chart where these intersect.
2. Locate your second connector (2). Use the same method from Step 1 to place your second connector in the chart.
3. Find your Required Fall Clearance (FC). Locate the chart “wing” each connector falls into, then locate the corresponding
fall clearance in the table to the right. The fall clearance table is divided into columns, depending on capacity. Select the value
within the column matching your total user capacity (including clothing, tools, etc.).
;
If your connectors are in different wings, you must use the greater fall clearance requirement between them.

A Safety Factor of 1.5 ft. (0.45 m) and a user height of 6 ft. (1.8 m) were used for all values listed. Kneeling or crouching will
reduce the position of the user above the platform and will require an additional 3.3 ft. (1.0 m) of fall clearance.
;
Required Fall Clearance is calculated with the assumption that each leg of the SRD is extended a minimal distance behind the
user, from wherever they may be positioned in the chart. The assumption of minimum setback distance ensures the user has
enough fall clearance regardless of their actual setback distance.
