| Abstract |
The objective of this review was to identify and evaluate literature dealing with the effects of being suspended in a harness, together with issues regarding various types of harnesses, including the position of their attachment points. In addition, selected harness standards were examined to see if and how they addressed the topic of suspension. Over 50 documents were located from sources in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Australia and the Internet. Findings are discussed. |
