Fall Protection Calculator
Calculate required fall clearance, free fall distance, and safety requirements for fall protection systems. Ensure OSHA compliance and worker safety.
Step 1: Fall Scenario
Fall Clearance Requirements
Total fall clearance must account for free fall distance, deceleration distance, harness stretch, and safety factor. OSHA requires minimum 6 feet clearance below worker.
Step 2: Equipment Details
About Fall Protection Systems
Different fall protection systems have varying free fall distances and deceleration characteristics. Always consult manufacturer specifications and OSHA regulations for specific applications.

Fall Clearance Breakdown
Fall Clearance Calculation Formula
Total Clearance = Free Fall + Deceleration + Harness Stretch + Safety Factor
OSHA requires that total fall clearance must include all components: free fall distance, deceleration distance, harness/equipment elongation, and a safety margin to prevent contact with lower level.
