Figure Q.1 shows a person attached to a rigid horizontal anchor line (a rigid rail) in three Q.2.1 different positions. The rigid horizontal anchor line depicted is for illustration purposes only and has been chosen for simplicity and clarity. The far-right position 3 shows a person in a fall factor two situation (FF 2). This is considered to be a high severity fall factor. The centre position 2 shows a fall factor one situation (FF 1), which is considered to be a medium severity fall factor, and the far-left position 1 shows a very low fall factor situation (almost FF 0), i.e. a very low severity fall factor. The fall factor scenario shown in Figure Q.1 also applies when other anchor methods are employed, e.g. where the lanyard is connected to an anchor device fixed to masonry or to a vertical anchor line (when the connection would normally be via an anchor line device).
