While a safety harness can control a fall, it does not eliminate all hazards. Suspension trauma may develop when a worker remains suspended in a harness for an extended period, restricting blood flow and potentially resulting in serious injury or death if rescue is not immediate.
✔ Immediate rescue is critical after a fall.
✔ Establish a comprehensive rescue plan before commencing work at height.
✔ Provide workers with training focused on suspension trauma awareness. Maintain rescue equipment in an accessible and operational state at all times.
✔ Respond promptly to minimize health risks associated with suspension trauma.
Effective planning, emergency preparedness, and comprehensive worker training are fundamental components of any Work at Height safety program. Awareness of suspension trauma risks is vital for preventing fatalities and serious injuries.
Work-at-height safety skills can be enhanced through participation in Green World Group's internationally recognized HSE training programs.
