The Big Drop


Hello,

The Fall Protection Expert here with answers for you.

I asked all of you what the maximum deceleration distance (in feet) a fall arrest system would allow an employee to travel and many of you got back to me very quickly. Some not at all. And well, there were definitely a few incorrect answers.

Yearning for the answer? You came to the right place.

According to OSHA standards 1926.502 and 1910.66, a FAS is required to bring an employee to a complete stop at a distance no greater than....
3.5 feet.

3.5 is the absolute maximum to ensure employee safety.

Nothing like a clean and simple fact to carry you into the weekend.

From the Fall Protection Expert,

Have a Great Weekend.
