Cómo controlar: suspension trauma
- Avoid relying on fall arrest by using fall prevention, such as guardrails or elevated work platforms, wherever possible.
- Prepare a rescue plan before work starts that can reach a suspended worker quickly without relying on emergency services.
- Keep rescue equipment on site, and make sure workers are trained and practised in using it.
- Never let anyone work alone in a fall-arrest harness; someone must be able to raise the alarm and start rescue.
- Fit harnesses correctly and use suspension relief straps so a suspended worker can stand in them and move their legs.
- Get medical assessment for anyone who has been suspended in a harness, even if they seem well.
