Ensure prompt rescue in event of fall
A person conducting a business or undertaking who implements a fall-arrest system as a control measure must establish emergency and rescue procedures. The rescue of a worker who is suspended in a full body harness must occur promptly to prevent suspension intolerance.
A worker should not use a fall-arrest system unless there is at least one other person on the site who can rescue them if they fall.
