what is the safe distance that a person may survive a fall from height without any injuries?
construction employers
must protect their employees from fall hazards and
falling objects whenever an affected employee is6 feet (1.8
meters) or more above a lower level. Protection also must be
provided for construction workers who are exposed to the
hazard of falling into dangerous equipment.
working at heights regulations is dependent on country , Most are set at1.5 -2 m you need a harness
Where you are bound to fall from height and injured yourself, it is compulsory to donned a body harness. There is no safe distance when we discuss about falling from height hazards. Even falling from a bicycle also can cause a hairline fracture. (My experience in the industry as HSE Practitioner)
