Control Measures to Reduce Risk

• Considerations for rescuing workers who have fallen and are suspended:
  · Whenever a person is wearing a harness, a rescue plan must be in place as suspension trauma can occur to persons who fall and remain in the harness for more than 5 minutes
  · The rescue must be able to commence immediately
  · The victim must be moved from suspension in stages – if moved too quickly from full suspension into a horizontal position serious injury or death can occur
  · If a suspension may last up to 5 minutes – foothold straps or other way of placing weight on legs must be provided.
  
  In event of a fall and suspension - Workers should be trained to:
  · Use a sit – type harness with padded legs to allow legs to remain horizontal
  · Move their legs in the harness to push against any footholds
  · Move their legs as high as possible and keep their head as horizontal as possible. Note: The ability for workers to be able to follow these procedures should be a consideration when selecting harnesses for use
  · Ensure all workers on-site are trained and familiar with emergency and evacuation procedures
  · Ensure EWP is fitted with an emergency retrieval device, controlled descent device and an escape-rescue facility.
