What your Employees should know about being suspended in a fall arrest harness?

 

As long as co-workers immediately begin emergency response, the trapped worker can maintain blood circulation to assist in his or her own rescue.

One way to do this is to unfold the foot straps. Once the straps are deployed, workers remain standing on them to prevent the harness from cutting off blood circulation in the legs. Improved circulation allows more time for rescue procedures.

Other things workers should know when suspended in a fall arrest harness include:

Constantly pumping with your legs activates the muscles and keeps the blood circulating.
Pushing against a hard object, such as a nearby building, helps keep your muscles active. After the worker moves away from the building, he will approach it again, and can push again to swing.
