Limitations
Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient
clearance below the anchorage connector
to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating
fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 3’
safety factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness
stretch, and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
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.
Compatibility:
When making connections with
Edge Harness, eliminate all possibility of roll-out.
Roll-out occurs when interference between a
hook and the attachment point causes the hook
gate to unintentionally open and release. All
connections must be selected and deemed
compatible with Edge Harness by a Competent
Person. All connector gates must be self-closing
and self-locking, and withstand minimum loads
of 3,600 lbs. See the following for examples of
compatible/incompatible connections:
Connector
closed and
locked to
D-ring.
OK.
Connector
to integral
lanyard.
NO.
Two or more
snap hooks or
carabiners
connected to
each other.
NO.
Two connectors
to same
D-ring.
NO.
Connector
directly to
horizontal
lifeline.
NO.
Connector
directly to
webbing.
NO.
Incompatible
or irregular
application,
which may
increase risk
of roll-out.
NO.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing
worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.
Always consider potential swing fall and other
hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever
possible! If Swing Fall exists,
always account for additional
fall clearance.
