To minimize the possibility of a swing fall, work as directly under the anchorage connector as possible. Striking objects
horizontally, due to the pendulum effect, may cause serious injury. Swing falls also increase the vertical fall distance of a
worker, compared to a fall directly below the anchorage connector. Swing falls may be reduced by using overhead
anchorage connectors that move with the worker.
