ALLS
To minimize the possibility of a swing fall, anchor as
directly above the work area as possible. Striking
objects horizontally, due to the pendulum effect, may
cause serious injury. Swing falls also increase the
vertical fall distance of a worker, compared to a fall
directly below the anchorage connector. Swing falls may
be reduced by using overhead anchorage connectors
that move with the worker.
WARNING!
Striking objects horizontally due to the pendulum effect of a swing fall may cause serious
injury or death.
