Terry is right and wrong. tie off point is key in my eyes. most studies are a 340lb worker with a fall distance of six feet to reach the 12 or 14 foot arrest distance. you would have to tie off about two feet below your feet to reach that distance. even at waist level its about three feet and is your momentem going to be fast enough to strech the lanyard all 31/2 feet i dont know. why dont we start training our selves and our hands in the field instead of listening to the scare tactictics from whomever is scareing us to compliance.

Ron is giving good advice here guys but I have some points to add. Rather than relying on harnesses, retractables and anchor points why not install edge protection instead? Eliminate the risk of a fall rather than rely on fall protection.

In addition, I often see guys working from the bucket of an elevated work platform (in Oz you must where a harness and be hooked onto the bucket when working from EWPs) but they will be working only 12-20 feet above the ground and are wearing shock absorber lanyards on their harnesses. The problem is that the shock absorber lanyard will not stop them from hitting the ground at those heights.

One other point, when there is an arrested fall what are the rescue plans you insist on to avoid suspension trauma? We require rescue within 5 minutes and insist on a rescue plan being written into the safe work method statement for the task.

That depends on the area\state you are working in. California, depending on the code section, does not allow you to tie off below the waist. You should never have more than 5 foot of free fall. A retractable should not allow you to travel more than 2 feet. When you attach at your feet then you have the 4 foot distance to the level of your D ring, retractable, plus the four feet of slack in the line, (at least). then the 2-3 feet of the harness stretching because no one ever wears the harness as tight as they should. So... basically, the lanyard, harness will extend 6 feet over your head, plus however tall you are. ( 13 feet?, plus swing room)
