Welcome to this in-depth Tech Talk with Kevin Dennis from Werner Fall Protection! In this episode, we take a closer look at Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) and the critical topic of clearance requirements during a fall.

Whether you're a safety professional, site supervisor, or worker using fall protection equipment, understanding SRL clearance is essential. Kevin breaks down:
✅ How SRLs function
✅ The difference between free fall and deceleration distance
✅ Why anchorage location matters (overhead vs. below D-ring)
✅ The role of Class 1 vs. Class 2 SRLs
✅ How to use SRL clearance charts for accurate planning
✅ Real-world examples of offset and setback applications

This video is packed with practical insights and visual explanations to help you estimate fall clearance safely and effectively. No need to do the math in the field—just learn how to read the chart and plot your application.
