Fall Clearance Verification

Verify that sufficient clearance exists below the worker to prevent contact with a lower level or obstruction in the event of a fall.

Consider lanyard or SRL length, energy absorber deployment, harness stretch, worker position below the D-ring, swing fall potential, and required safety margin.

If a calculation is required, refer to the Fall Protection Plan / Fall Clearance Calculator.
