the ground in case of a fall. Fall Clearance is defined as necessary distance
between the anchorage point and the ground (or first obstacle) to avoid
crashing into the ground in case of a fall.
* Fall length in between the anchorage point and the ground should be
minimum 6,25 meters.
Elements needed to calculate fall clearance are;
A - Length of the Energy absorber with lanyard
B - Energy Absorber Extension
C - Height of User
D - Safety Margin
5 Control of product and validation
