Webinar: Calculating Fall Clearance with Different Fall Arrest Systems

Description

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Calculating fall clearance -  The use of a "Personal Fall Arrest System" is something that, on the surface, doesn't seem to be that
complicated but quite often is either not done at all or done incorrectly. With the broad spectrum of fall arrest equipment
that has come onto the market in recent years, knowing how to calculate fall clearance based on one simple equation simply is no longer feasible.

This Webinar will cover the intricacies of calculating clearance for the main types of fall arrest systems in-use today, showing how the process varies and giving tips on working to simplify the process. The main focus of the presentation will include a discussion on (1) why this topic is important to understand and, then, (2) quickly transition to talking about how to figure out system space requirements for applications such as utilizing energy-absorbing lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, horizontal lifelines, and vertical lifelines.Time will be taken to discuss general rules that can be applied in each of the above-mentioned situations, while directing the listener back to instructions provided with their particular systems. Emphasis will be put on how recent regulations have truly added many "variables" to our calculations.

THIS WEBINAR IS DESIGNED TO:
 

• Basic strategies for calculating clearance with the two main types of connecting devices--EALs & SRLs--will be discussed
• Explaining fall clearance calculations with simpler systems, further time will be spent discussing applying their use on horizontal and vertical lifelines.
• The learner will select the CORRECT formula for calculating clearance, based on a proposed scenario and equipment being used.
• Time will be taken to discuss how new (1) regulations and (2) technologies have changed how fall clearance is calculated.
• Strategies will be given as general rules for always knowing how to safely calculate clearance based on system types and user needs.
