01 / THE SCIENCE

Learn the devastating effect of falling on the body.

It only takes five minutes for the onset of suspension intolerance to change a life forever. Venous pooling, orthostatic intolerance, vascular shock — learn how these devastating conditions affect a fall casualty. We’ll study the science and look at some eye-opening statistics to reveal why a rescue plan is essential for protecting people who work at height.
