Fall Clearance is the distance required to safely arrest the users fall. It is the distance from
the anchorage to the ground. A Fall Clearance Calculation must be done anytime this or
any other fall protection equipment is use.
Step 1: Calculate Free Fall (FF)
Step 2: Determine how much the connecting device deploys (DD)
Step 3: Determine the stretch of the harness (Xh)
Step 4: Add a safety factor (typically is 3 ft)
Step 5: Fall Clearance C= FF +DD + Xh + SF
REPAIR
Do not attempt to repair or alter this fall protection equipment. Repairs can only be
