When working at height, understanding the fall clearance distance is crucial. If a worker is anchored vertically above head level, the length of the lanyard and the elongation of the energy absorber during a fall determine the fall clearance. A minimum clearance of 6 meters is recommended to prevent contact with lower-level hazards, especially in scenarios where the user experiences a free fall of up to 4 meters.
