WARNING!
RESCUE AND EVACUATION: the user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The
plan must take into account the equipment and specific training necessary to affect prompt rescue under all
foreseeable conditions. Suspension intolerance, also called suspension trauma or orthostatic intolerance, is a
serious condition. Prompt rescue and use of post fall suspension relief devices can help to reduce the likeli-
hood of suspension intolerance. If the rescue be from a confined space, the provisions of OSHA regulation
1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1 must be taken into account. It is recommended to provide means for user evacu-
ation without assistance of others. This will usually reduce the time to get to a safe place and reduce or prevent
the risk to rescuers. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
