1.3.1.2 Calculate fall clearance:
This is an example of how to calculate the fall clearance requirements using a Self Retracting Lanyard
connected to the dorsal D-ring of a full body harness. Add the deceleration distance identified on the
label of the Self Retracting Lanyard (3 feet per OSHA 1910 and 1926) to the slide of the D-ring (1 foot) and
the additional safety clearance (2 feet), to allow for the possibility of an improperly fit harness and/or a
miscalculation of distances. A total fall clearance of 6 feet is required for this example.
Before commencing work, always be aware of any moving machinery.
WARNING!
Always ensure that you work a safe distance from moving machinery, and that all
components in a system cannot be damaged by any moving machinery.
1.3.2 Using the SRL:
Attach the SRL overhead to a suitable anchorage or anchorage connector. Ensure that rollout cannot occur
when using a hook or carabiner to make a connection as specified in Section 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.
Perform an operational check of the device before connecting the self locking snap hook to the harness. To
check operation pull smoothly on the lanyard and listen for the audible signal (clicking), then pull sharply on
the lanyard to engage the locking mechanism.
A full body harness must be worn when using the SRL. Always ensure that you attach to a designated fall
arrest attachment point on the harness. Situations where fall paths are obstructed must be avoided.
