Fall clearance is the height at which user must attach to an anchorage point to
avoid contact with an obstacle at lower level. In order to calculate required fall
clearance distance the following measurements must be kept in mind.
Working at height equipment must these products must be controlled on
regular basis before and after each use and findings must be recorded
into product control form. On an adequate lighted environment apply the
following controls by lying the product down on a flat surface;
• Webbings should be checked for cuts, abrasions, color change, broken stitches
and undue stretching.
• Buckles should be checked for signs of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion
or other damages. They should function correctly and smoothly.
• D Rings and other metal parts should be checked for signs of wear,
cracks, deformation, corrosion or other damage.
• Connectors should be checked for sign of wear, cracks, deformation, corrosion,
dirt. The gate and the locking mechanisms should work easily and without
any problem. The gate should open and close completely.
• Labels should be secure and legible.

will cause a serious injury or death. The anchor point must conform with the
requirements of the EN 795 standard and the minimum strength of it must
be 12 kN.
6.3 Various Situations
- A fall arrest harness is the only device to support the body in a fall arrest
system.
- In a fall arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance under
the user before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an obstacle
in case of a fall.
- Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit the
risk and the height of afall.
- When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation
may occur if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the
safety function of another piece of equipment.
- Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning, inert suspension
in a harness can result in serious injury or death.
