DEFINITIONS
Anchorage
A secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices.
Attachment Point
A loop or “D” ring connected (integrally) to the body support that provides a
means for attachment of other components of the fall protection system.
Body Harness
Means straps, which may be secured about the worker in a manner that will
distribute the fall arrest forces over at least the thighs, pelvis, waist, chest and
shoulders with means for attaching it to other components of a personal fall
arrest system.
Carabiner
A link with a gate that is normally closed or that automatically closes, and is
used to connect components of a personal fall protection system.
Competent Person
Is defined as “one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards
in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or
dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective
measures to eliminate them” [29 CFR 1926.32(f)]. By way of training and/or
experience, a competent person is knowledgeable of applicable standards, is
capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the specific operation and
has the authority to correct them.
Connector
A device which is used to couple (connect) parts of the personal fall arrest
system and positioning device systems. It may be an independent component of
the system, such as a carabiner, or it may be an integral component of part of the
system (such as a buckle or D-ring sewn into a body belt or body harness, or a
snap-hook spliced or sewn to a lanyard or self-retracting lanyard).
D Ring
A form of attachment point on body belts and fully body harnesses meant for
attachment of other components of a fall protection and positioning system.
Deceleration Device
Means any mechanism that serves to dissipate energy during a fall.
Deceleration Distance
The vertical distance a falling employee travels from the point at which the
deceleration device begins to operate, excluding lifeline elongation and free fall
distance, until stopping. It is measured as the distance between the location of
an employee’s body harness attachment point at the moment of activation (at
the onset of fall arrest forces) of the deceleration device during a fall, and the

location of that attachment point after the employee comes to a full stop.
Fall Arrest System
A fall arrest system means a system used to arrest an employee in a fall from
a working level. It consists of an anchor point, connectors, a body belt or body
harness and may include a lanyard, deceleration device, lifeline, or suitable com-
binations of these.
Fall Prevention System
Those systems and techniques that eliminate the possibility of a fall.
Fall Protection System
Any of the following when used to protect a worker from a fall or minimize the
risk from falling: Guardrails, Safety belt or a full body harness with a lanyard
and/or lifeline and an anchor, and their related equipment, Safety net, Control
zone, Safety monitor with a control zone, and other acceptable procedures.
Fall Restraint System
A work positioning system to prevent a worker from falling from a work position,
or a travel restriction system such as guardrails or a personal fall protection
system to prevent a worker from traveling to an edge from which the worker
could fall.
Free Fall
The act of falling before the personal fall arrest system begins to apply force to
arrest the fall.
Free Fall Distance
Vertical displacement of the fall arrest attachment point on the employee’s body
belt or body harness between onset of the fall and just before the system begins
to apply force to arrest the fall. This distance excludes deceleration distance,
lifeline and lanyard elongation, but includes any deceleration device slide dis-
tance or self-retracting lifeline/lanyard extension before the devices operate
and fall arrest forces occur.
Full Body Harness
A body support device consisting of connected straps designed to distribute a
fall arresting force over at least the thigh, shoulders and pelvis, with provision
for attaching a lanyard, lifeline or other components.
Lanyard
A flexible line of webbing, synthetic rope or wire rope that is used to secure a
safety belt or full body harness to a lifeline or anchor.
Horizontal Lifeline System
A system composed of a synthetic or wire rope installed horizontally between
two anchors, to which a worker attaches a personal fall protection system.
