Use only back D rings of safety harness with other equipments described in EN
363 (Shock absorber, lanyard, fall arrest systems). These points were marked
with “A” in order to be recognized easily.
4.2 Fall Clearance Distance
Fall Clearance (Calculation of fall clearance distance Figure- 2)
Clearance distance should be calcutlated in working area for a possible fall. In
case of fall from height, user should be able to adjust the clearence distance in
order not to hit any object or ground.
Fall Clearance
Fall clearance is the height at which a worker 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 Shoch Absorber after a fall
C :
Height of Suspended Worker
D :
