It is the responsibility of the user that a
relevant and ‘live’ Risk Assessment is in
place for the work to be carried out which
includes emergency contingencies.
A plan of rescue measures that covers
all foreseeable emergencies needs to be
in place before this product can be used.
Prior to and during use, rescue measures
that can be executed safely and effectively
must be considered at all times.
SUSPENSION TRAUMA
Upon prolonged use of the harness as
a sit harness the symptoms described
below may occur
: Hanging/sitting immo-
bile in suspension in a harness for longer
periods of time (for example, in cases of
unconsciousness) may cause one‘s blood
flow to be restricted and eventually lead to
a so-called suspension trauma (also known
as harness hang syndrome).
MORTAL DANGER! – Call EMERGENCY
SERVICES immediately!
Possible symp-
toms include paleness of the skin, excessive
perspiration, shortness of breath, impaired
vision, dizziness, and nausea (This list is
incomplete, as symptoms may vary consid-
erably from one person to another).
Persons suffering from such symptoms
should therefore, provided that they are
still able to, take appropriate measures
themselves in order to keep the blood from
pooling in their legs (e.g. by moving the legs
or by taking the weight off the leg loops, for
example by standing in foot loops). Where
this is not possible, it must be ensured that
victims be
rescued as fast as possible
from
the suspended position and that appropriate
first aid measures be taken.
CAUTION! NEVER PLACE A RESCUED
PERSON RIGHT AWAY IN A POSITION
FLAT ON THE GROUND or IN THE SHOCK
POSITION -> MORTAL DANGER! The res
-
cued person must be put in either a sitting
or a squatting position, or, if unconscious,
in a stable lateral position, preferably with
a raised upper body (to avoid heart failure
due to the excessively fast return flow of
the blood from the lower half of the body).
