617 Fall Arrest Clearance Calculations Made Easy (B-I-A-E)

Instructor: Greg E. Small, P.E., High Engineering Corporation, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Description: Everyone using a fall arrest system needs to know whether it will stop them from impacting a lower level. Unfortunately, clearances are so complicated that most people try to ignore them. The presenters will develop three simple formulae to easily determine a safe clearance for almost any Fall Arrest System.
