4.4- Fall Clearance = A+B+C+D
Figure - 3
seat harness is used when a lower point in rope access technique
or work positioning is needed. D ring in the seat harness can be used with
descenders, positioning lanyards and work area restriction lanyards.

Fall Clearance ( Calculation of fall clearance distance)
Clearance distance should be calculated in the working area for a possible fall.
In case of fall from a height, user should be able to adjust the clearence
distance in order not to hit any object or ground.
Fall clearance is the height at which a user must attach to an anchorage to
avoid contact with a lower level. In order to calculate required fall clearance
distance the following measurements must be kept in mind.
A :
Length of Fall Arrest System (Lanyard)
B :
Length of the Lanyard after a fall
C :
Height of Suspended User
D :
Safety Factor
Fall Clearance
5. Product Inspection and Validation
5.1 Before Each Use
Working at height equipment must be used as personalized. These products
must be controled on regular basis before and after each use and findings
must be recorded into product control form.
On an adequate lighted environment apply following controls by lying the
product down on a flat surface;
• Webbings should be checked for cuts, abrasions, color change, broken stitches
and undue stretching.
• Buckles should be checked for signs of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion
or other damages. They should function correctly and smoothly.
• D Rings and other metal parts should be checked for signs of wear,
cracks, deformation, corrosion or other damage.
• Connectors should be checked for sign of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion,
dirt. The gate and the locking mechanisms should work smooth and properly.
The gate should be opened and closed completely.
• Labels should be secure and legible.
If at least one of these deviations is found during the controls, usage of the
equipment should be suspended or retired and immediately send back to
producer for detailed inspection. No repair is allowed by unauthorised person.
Only manufacturer directions should be applied.
When use product with a system , make sure that all pieces of equipment in
the system are correctly positioned and compatible with each other.
5.2 During Each Use
So you must always have a rescue plan for such emergency situations. For
this adequately trained personnel and rescue equipment must be present.
6.1 Rescue Plan
6. Supplementary Information Regarding Standard; EN 365
A user who has been incapacitated by an injury or medical condition and
who is suspended by the full body harness must be rescued immediately.
6.2 Anchor Point
The anchor point of the system comprises this product should preferably be
located above the user or should at least at the waist level of the user. An
attachment point below this level will cause a serious injury or death. The
anchor point must conform to the requirements of the EN 795 standard and
the minimum strength of 12 kN.
6.3 Various Situations
- A fall arrest harness is the only device allowed for supporting the body in
a fall arrest system.
- In a fall arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance under
the user before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an obstacle
in case of a fall.
- Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to minimize
the risk and the height of a fall.
- When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation
may occur if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the
safety function of another piece of equipment.
- Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning, inert suspension
in a harness can result in serious injury or death.
