Tip of the Week No. 5 A - 01/05/04 Free Fall Controls
Controlling a fall hazard begins by setting specific objectives defined by the elements of the hazard itself. For example, to control the energy generated through a fall, the free-fall distance should not exceed 2 feet. Additionally, reducing the total fall distance (free fall plus deceleration distance) can help decrease the possibility of striking an obstruction within the fall path.
