Lanyards Take The Impact, You Don’t.
Calculate Your Potential Fall Distance
1. When using a 6 ft. shock-absorbing lanyard and a full body harness, first add the length of the lanyard (6 ft.) to the maximum elongation of the shock absorber during deceleration (3 1/2 ft.) to the average height of a worker (6 ft.)
2. Then add a safety factor of 3 ft.
3. The total, 18 1/2 ft., is the suggested safe fall clearance distance, the height at which you must attach to an anchorage to minimize the risk of contact with a lower level. |
