FIGURE 2 - EXAMPLE MINIMUM REQUIRED FALL CLEARANCE CALCULATION
(CLASS 1 SRL)
Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction.
Figure 2 illustrates a typical Fall Clearance calculation based on the ANSI Z359.14-2021 prescribed Maximum Allowed Free Fall of 24 in. and Maximum Allowed
Arrest Distance of 42 in. Fall Clearance calculations may vary dependent upon the SRL being used. It is essential that the correct Arrest Distance is used to
determine Minimum Required Fall Clearance.
