Harness Suspension

Researchers:

George Flagler, Dr. Sandra Dorman, Dr. Anil Adisesh

Workers who are working-at-heights, in a harness, are susceptible to suspension after a fall-arrest; causing concerns about so called: “suspension trauma.” The purpose of this project was threefold: i) to consult with Working at Heights (WAH) training providers in Ontario to compare their training with regard to harness suspension management; ii) to assess whether harness suspension events were occurring within the industrial sector; and iii) to ask about harness equipment in regards to prevention of suspension syncope and compliance by workers.
