11.0 SWING FALLS
An anchorage point located in a position that is not directly over the user's fall location results in a Swing Fall (See Figure 4). Swing falls may result in the user
striking an object with enough force to cause serious injury. Greater clearance is needed to ensure safety during a swing fall as vertical fall distance will be greater
than a fall originating directly below the anchorage point. For help determining additional required fall clearance due to Swing Fall, (See Table 10).
WARNING:
TABLE 10 - ADDITIONAL FALL CLEARANCE FOR SWING FALL HAZARDS (OVERHEAD USE)
Allowable Work Zone
Using Table 10:
Table 10 provides the ability for the user to determine additional fall clearance requirements if a Swing Fall Hazard is present
when using the a Latitude HD SRL in an overhead application. The Y-Axis represents the height the SRL is anchored above the
user's Dorsal D-ring. The X-Axis represents lateral movement of the worker in relation to the SRL.
Example - Latitude HD SRL Anchored Overhead:
This example represents the user anchored 5' Overhead (Up along the Y Axis) and 4' Laterally (Along the X Axis). The
intersection of these distances on the chart indicate an additional 1' of fall clearance required. This additional required fall
clearance must be added to total fall clearance calculations.

FIGURE 4 - SWING FALLS
The risk of striking an object or obstruction is dramatically increased during a swing fall. Failure to comply with this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
