Calculating Fall Clearance

Always know your fall distance and select proper equipment to meet the fall clearance.

	UNDER 18 1/2 ft.* always use a Self-Retracting Lifeline.
	OVER 18 1/2 ft. use a Shock-Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting Lifeline.

*For fall clearance under 14 1/2 ft. contact Miller Technical Service 800/873-5242

Miller® Splat Indicator

For a quick and easy alternative to calculating your fall distance, use the Miller Splat Indicator. Similar to a plumb bob, simply attach the device to an anchorage or to the lanyard at the anchoring snap hook and lower the weight using the attached string.
