The critical link which joins the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connector
• Potential fall distance must be calculated to determine type of connecting device to be used. Typically:
• Under 18.5 ft [5.6 m], use a self-retracting lifeline/fall limiter
• Over 18.5 ft [5.6 m], use a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline/fall limiter
• Should be selected based on work to be performed and the work environment
• Shock-absorbing lanyards can expand up to 3.5 ft [1.1 m] when arresting a fall
• Attach lanyards to the harness back D-ring only
• Never tie a knot in any web lanyard – it reduces the strength by 50%
In a personal fall arrest system, body wear is the full-body PPE a worker wears based on the job he or she performs.
Help workers move securely with a snug, properly fitting full-body harness that supports the chest, thighs, hips, back and shoulders. This PPE solution helps keep workers safe at heights without restricting necessary movements.
The connecting device is the critical link that joins body wear to the anchorage and anchorage connector.
The connecting device must be selected carefully to help absorb force, reduce fall distance, manage energy loads and meet fall clearance requirements. These devices include shock-absorbing lanyards, fall limiters, self-retracting lifelines and rope grabs.
Phase 1: No Product
calculate your fall clearance
Take the guesswork out of worker safety with our fall clearance calculator, an anytime-anywhere tool that helps determine which connecting device is best suited for operations requiring at-height work. Enter variables associated with each job or operation to find the fall clearance, which can then be used to select either a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline.

Take action swiftly and safely if
an injury, hazard or unpredictable event leads to an on-site rescue with our comprehensive rescue training.
Authorized and competent rescuers must ensure speed, support and safety during on-site rescue. An authorized rescuer can perform and assist with emergency operations. A competent rescuer, in addition to helping during ongoing emergencies, helps develop procedures and actively identifies risks during ongoing missions. All working-at-height teams need both rescue positions to help minimize risks and dangers.

A: Anchorage/ Anchorage Connector
Arresting falls starts at the anchorage, the tie-off point that helps protect workers using strength, stability and support.
Anchorage: Commonly referred to as a tie-off point (Ex: I-beam, rebar, scaffolding, lifeline, etc.).
Anchorage Connector: Used to join the connecting device to the anchorage
(Ex: cross-arm strap, beam anchor, D-bolt, hook anchor, etc.)
• Anchorages must be capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (22kN) of force per worker
• Must be high enough for a worker to avoid contact with a lower level should a fall occur
• The anchorage connector should be positioned to avoid a “swing fall”
If a worker falls from height, the anchorage and anchorage connector can help stop the worker’s motion quickly, which helps prevent fall-related injuries. Anchorage points include I-beams, rebar and scaffolding; connectors include beam anchors, cross-arm straps, D-bolts, etc.
Anchorages must support 5,000 pounds (22kN) of force per worker
Should a fall occur, these components should be placed high enough for a worker to avoid accidental contact with various objects
Position anchorage connectors properly to avoid “swing falls”
Adjustable and fixed-beam anchors connect to various I and H beam flanges (3"-24" wide), maximizing safety, mobility and productivity

self-retracting lifelines
Selecting the right connecting device increases the efficacy and safety of a personal fall arrest system. When a potential fall distance is under 18.5ft (5.6m), a self-retracting lifeline or personal fall limiter should connect the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connectors. Self-retracting lifelines have fast fall arrest capabilities and automatically maintain tension in the event of a fall.

Shock-Absorbing Lanyards
Selecting the right connecting device increases the efficacy and safety of a personal fall arrest system. When a potential fall distance is over 18.5ft (5.6m), a shock-absorbing lanyard should connect the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connectors. Shock-absorbing lanyards have a flexible line and mechanisms that help absorb the shock of a potential fall.

How To Properly Don a Harness
Honeywell Miller® Söll VC510 & VC570 Fall Arresters
Explore our guided-type fall arresting solutions, the VC510
and VC570 ladder climbing/vertical
cable systems, with this video
that teaches workers how to disengage and reattach each to vertical wire cables. Also, view how they provide fall protection when connected to a sternal D-ring on
a full-body harness.
In the event of a slip, trip or fall during an ascent or descent, GlideLoc® Vertical Rail Systems VR650 and VR670 will lock into place to help prevent fall-related injuries. This solution can also be removed and reattached to a ladder system in two different and unique ways, providing workers with greater flexibility and safety.

When safety standards change, we make sure our PPE solutions are always compliant. That’s why we upgraded the Falcon+ and Falcon+ Edge self-retracting lifelines to meet Class 1 and Class 2 ANSI requirements, respectively. Understand the differences between these two solutions and when each should be used in this quick, informative video.
