Clearance Requirements

These illustrations are an example of how to calculate fall clearance when using a

self-retracting lanyard or a shock absorbing lanyard.

Image 1 shows a self-retracting lanyard anchored overhead with the other end

connected to the dorsal D-ring of a full body harness. When positioning a self-

retracting lanyard, include the following distances in your calculations:

Using the Rigid Lifelines

Defy™ Self-Retracting Lanyard will require a total

fall clearance of approximately 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) as measured from the

working level to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance

combines the sum of the maximum allowable fall arrest distance of 54

inches or 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) and the safety factor of 3 feet (0.9 meters).
