meaningful learning transfer, the GWO recommends that the anchor point is a minimum of 6.75m above the ground or structure directly below the anchor point. The recommended 6.75m clearance under the anchor point is explained in detail in Annex 1.
If a training provider deviates from the recommended anchor point height of 6.75m to a lower height, then the following additional control measures must be in place:
a. a documented risk assessment for the lower height, including calculations for the equipment used during the evacuation exercises. The calculations shall:
a.i use the energy absorber elongation value that is provided by the equipment manufacturer
a.ii demonstrate that the equipment will prevent the person from coming into contact with the ground or structure directly below the anchor point
a.iii use a formula provided by the equipment manufacturer or national legislation for calculating anchor point clearance height or, where no such formula exists, use the formula in Annex 1.
b.
the potential fall factor shall not exceed 0.5
c. participants must experience a descent from a platform that is a minimum of 4.5m above the ground
