This differs from earlier advice.G.2.7 All casualties who have been suspended motionless in a harness should be taken to hospital immediately for further professional medical care and observation. Medical personnel should be advised that the casualty may be suffering from the effects of suspension intolerance.G.2.8Those preparing rescue plans should regularly review current best practice.© IRATA International Annex G: page 2 of 2 2013-Jul-10IRATA International code of practice for industrial rope accessPart 3: Informative annexesAnnex H: Equipment inspection checklistSeptember 2013
