7.2:
Rescue
Plan
In
the
event
of
a
fall,
OSHA
requires
that
a
prompt
rescue
be
provided.
In
order
to
facilitate
a
prompt
and
effective
rescue,
it
is
important
to
have
a
Rescue
Plan
as
part
of
your
overall
Fall
Protection
Plan.
The
rescue
plan
should
include
detailed
procedures
for
summoning
a
professional
rescue
agency
(such
as
the
local
fire
department)
and/or
for
performing
self
‐
rescue
or
in
‐
house
rescue.
For
detailed
assistance
in
formulating
and
maintaining
an
effective
rescue
plan,
see
ANSI
Z359.2
‐
2007.
7.3:
Suspension
Trauma
Suspension
Trauma
(also
referred
to
as
orthostatic
intolerance)
is
a
condition
that
can
arise
from
being
suspended
in
a
full
‐
body
harness
for
a
prolonged
period
of
time
while
awaiting
rescue
after
a
fall.
Under
these
circumstances,
blood
circulation
can
be
restricted
allowing
a
large
volume
of
blood
to
accumulate
or
pool
in
the
veins
of
the
workers
legs.
This
condition
can
result
in
a
variety
of
symptoms,
some
of
which
include
light
‐
headedness,
loss
of
consciousness,
difficulty
concentrating
and
palpitations.
Following
a
rescue,
Suspension
Trauma
can
be
so
acute
as
to
cause
cardiac
arrest
when
the
large
volume
of
un
‐
oxygenated
blood
overwhelms
the
heart.
This
severity
of
this
condition
can
be
greatly
reduced
by
using
any
one
of
a
variety
of
devices
offered
to
alleviate
Suspension
Trauma,
such
as
FallTech’s
ReliefPak
and
by
providing
a
prompt
rescue
in
the
event
of
a
fall.

Trauma,
