It is essential that fall factors are kept as low as possible at all times so that, should a fall Q.3.4 occur, the resulting impact loads on the user are minimised. If the combined length of all the connecting elements (e.g. lanyard plus connectors plus anchor sling) is kept as short as possible and is combined with a low fall factor, e.g. by always working below the anchor point, the user is less likely to collide with the structure or the ground and the potential impact loads experienced are also likely to be low.
