Calculating Clearance Poster- Basic Principles of Estimating Clearance

Estimating Clearances

Determining how far your fall arrest system will allow you to fall is a critical task for anyone using fall protection equipment.  Mistakes are often made when determining the clearance requirements and it usually comes down to using the wrong “starting point” for the estimate. Once you understand the basic principles of estimating clearance requirements you can apply it to any fall arrest system. Gravitec created this poster to break down the basic principles for estimating clearance.
