Swing Falls:
Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or
minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly
above the location where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in line with the anchor
point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or
death in the event of a fall (See Figure 2).

Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the next lower level, or an obstruction. When
calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length of Lanyard/SRD, and all other applicable factors
(See Figure 1).
