Grace WorkForce® Lone Worker Fall Detection and Suspension Trauma Prevention
Fall Protection remains in the top 10 OSHA violations. Fall Protection is widely used in Fall Prevention; but what happens after a fall from heights leaving a working hanging in their body harness?

After a fall, response time is critical for a worker hanging for a prolonged period-of-time placing them at serious risk of Suspension Trauma. Suspension Trauma, also known as Orthostatic Intolerance or Harness Hang Syndrome; commonly defined as the loss of consciousness when hanging with limited movement; a danger which is life-threatening when a response is beyond a critical time window of several minutes.

OSHA Fall Protection standard 1926.502 (d) (20) calls for the “prompt rescue” of employees in the event of a fall. What is often overlooked is the threat of Suspension Trauma when a “prompt rescue” relies only on a by-chance discovery of the worker hanging in a harness and unable to self-rescue. After a fall, the worker may be injured, unconscious, and unable to summon assistance on their own.

The new Grace WorkForce® uses an advanced gyro/accelerometer to detect a worker’s fall from heights and automatically transmits an emergency alert without any action required by the worker. WorkForce® automatically transmits an emergency signal received by others and facilitating a “prompt rescue”.

Grace advanced fall detection and lone worker safety monitoring solutions go beyond traditional concepts of self-rescue. Additionally, a worker also has the option of immediately activating an emergency alert by pressing the WorkForce® panic button. WorkForce® has a third means of emergency alerting by automatic activation when using its self-contained motion-sensing timer.
WorkForce® is used by anyone working at heights or working alone. Common applications include utilities, construction, arborist, scaffold workers, and wind farms.
WorkForce® products are configured in several packages for many types of applications including
• WorkForce® Buddy Package: comprised of two WorkForce® worker-worn devices used to monitor one another.
• WorkForce® Supervisor Full Feature Package: provides the ability to monitor multiple workers adding the option to locate a worker in distress when used with an optional GPS feature or the fixed-location indoor Grace Locator Beacon.
• WorkForce® Portable Worksite Alarm Package: used on job sites to provide a very loud audible siren and strobe-light alerting to other on-site personnel.
Advanced fixed facility monitoring system packages are available to provide an on-site indoor location, out-door GPS mapping and advanced intelligent inputs and outputs for sending alerts via email and text-message, or by use of an automatic telephone voice dialer. These systems are also capable of integrating with satellite modems or existing fire, security, or SCADA monitoring systems. Workforce® is compatible with all Grace Lone Worker advanced monitoring systems.

WorkForce® is made in the USA, has No Monthly Fees or Annual Subscriptions and, uses its own autonomous high-performance unlicensed radio system.
