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.

NOTE: This estimating clearances poster is not a substitution for formal, documented, hands-on fall protection training. Gravitec offers a full roster of fall protection and rescue courses.

Description

Understand Fall Clearance at a Glance

Gravitec’s Calculating Clearance Poster is designed to help workers quickly and accurately estimate the required fall clearance while using personal fall arrest systems. This visual guide teaches the basic principles of clearance calculation, helping prevent injuries and improve job site safety.

What Is Fall Clearance?

Fall clearance is the minimum vertical distance required between a worker’s anchor point and the next lower level or obstruction to ensure a fall can be safely arrested. Misjudging this space can lead to serious injury—or worse.

This poster explains:

  • How to estimate clearance based on equipment type

  • Why free fall distance, deceleration, harness stretch, and safety margin matter

  • How different anchor positions affect total clearance

Durable and Designed for the Job Site

Printed on high-quality stock, this poster is built to withstand tough environments. Hang it in break rooms, safety boards, or classrooms as a daily visual reminder of critical safety practices.

Stay Informed. Stay Safe.

Knowing your clearance isn’t optional—it’s essential. This Calculating Clearance Poster empowers your crew with knowledge that can save lives.
