6. SWING FALLS: Swing falls
occur when the anchor is
not directly above the point
where a fall occurs. The
force of striking an object
while swinging can be great
and cause serious injury.
Minimize swing falls by
working as directly below the
anchorage as possible (the
worker must be positioned
within 30 degrees of the roof
anchor). It is acceptable to
captivate a lifeline (i.e. rope
grab system) to an anchorage
