NEW SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR THOSE WORKING AT HEIGHTS!
What happens when a fall leaves a per- son hanging in a harness and unable to self-rescue?
Response time is critical to avoid Suspension Trauma, a condition defined as the loss of consciousness when hanging with limited movement after just several minutes.
OSHA Fall Protection 1926.502
(d) (20) calls for the “prompt rescue”
of employees in the event of a fall. When
a “prompt rescue” relies only on a “by-
chance” discovery of the worker hanging
and unable to self-rescue, the new Grace
WorkForce®uses an advanced gyro/accelerometer to detect a worker’s fall and automatically transmits an emergency alert to coworkers or supervisors; without any action required by the worker.
WorkForce®fall detection and Suspension Trauma Protection goes beyond the OSHA “prompt rescue” standard by providing an “immediate notification” used to dispatch a “prompt rescue” for all workers, especially those unable to self-rescue.
