Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs.
The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death. Minimize
potential for swing falls by working as close to the anchorage point as possible. Do not permit a
swing fall if injury could occur. Swing falls significantly increase the amount of clearance
required. See Illustration 1.
x

of a fall.
x
