Even though a fall arrest system protects the workers from a fatal fall, the persons remaining in the safety harness for a long time still can encounter a major medical emergency, called Suspension Trauma. This scenario happens when there is a restriction in blood circulation. If a timely rescue is not carried out, it could lead to conditions such as unconsciousness, dizziness, and severe medical complications.
Employers are responsible for implementing effective fall protection systems, rescue plans, and employee training programs. This mitigates the risk of injuries due to suspension. Performing routine safety inspections, delivering training programs and ensuring emergency preparedness ensures the safety of persons working at height.
