Fall protection systems may halt a fall but remaining suspended in a harness is more dangerous than you may realise.
Discover three different height rescue systems that together enable the recovery of a fall victim in any situation at height.
Get certified to execute your rapid height rescue plan using the latest equipment.
If you work at height with a fall arrest system you might feel safe knowing it will break your fall. But without immediate action you still face considerable danger. Here's why...
20% face death
within 10 minutes...
After a fall the body goes through several stages of physical distress. These are a group of conditions known as Suspension Intolerance and Reflow Syndrome. Their effects can be devastating. So much so in fact that 20% of all fall casualties are presumed dead within 10 minutes. And for everyone else? Within the hour.
In as little as 5 mintutes a fall victim can suffer brain damage. It's a testament to our emergency services that they can respond within 8 minutes, but for us that's already too late.
Work at height is risky. That means we have a duty not just to ourselves, but to others. For employers it means making adequate rescue provisions for the workforce. For operatives it means acting quickly in an emergency. And it's not just a moral duty, it's a legal one too.
See: WAH Regulations 2005 and British Standard 8437.
