Personal Fall Arrest System Anchorage Points
Calculating Fall Clearance Distance Using a Retractable Lifeline
- First, add the maximum free fall distance (2 ft.) with a retractable lifeline to the maximum deceleration distance (3-1/2 ft.) to the average height of a worker (6 ft.).
- Then, add a safety factor of 3 ft. to allow for the possibility of an improperly fit harness, a taller than average worker and/or a miscalculation of distance.
- The total, 14-1/2 ft. is the suggested safe fall clearance distance for this example.

Personal Fall Arrest System Anchorage Points
Calculating Fall Clearance Distance Using a Shock-Absorbing Lanyard and D-Ring Anchorage Connector
- First, add the length of the shock-absorbing 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.).
- Then, add a safety factor of 3 ft. to allow for the possibility of an improperly fit harness, a taller than average worker and/or a miscalculation of distance.
- The total, 18-1/2 ft. is the suggested safe fall clearance distance for this example.
