Harness Suspension: A Working at Heights Organizational Analysis
This presentation gives an overview of an analysis of the current Working at Heights (WAH) training programs in Ontario, and the knowledge transfer to workers on the topic of suspension trauma. How to manage and treat a worker falling from heights into harness is of much debate and there has been no consensus to date on the clear definition, treatment, and management of suspension trauma in the industrial sector. This presentation will review research that was conducted in 2020 by CROSH exploring this topic with clear recommendations for WAH training providers and Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development on language as well as treatment and management. Presented by George Flagler.
