DBI-SALA Suspension Trauma Safety Strap

* The Suspension Trauma Strap allows a worker who is suspended to stand up in their harness to relieve pressure. * This is a safety accessory that can be attached to most harness brands/styles right in the field. * Installation to your harness is fast and efficient - just choke off to strap and it's ready. * The safety strap's extremely compact and lightweight design stays out of the worker's way. * The deployment and operation of this is fool-proof, simply unzip, and hook straps together. * The continuous loop design allows for either one or two-foot suspension relief without pinching. What is Suspension Trauma? The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap was designed to help a worker overcome the potential negative health impacts of suspension trauma (otherwise known as Orthostatic Intolerance). This condition can occur when a person remains suspended at height (after a fall) for even short periods of time. Suspension in a harness may cause blood to pool in the veins of the legs which can result in unconsciousness; if not rescued promptly, serious injury or death may occur. OSHA requires that employers provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap is designed to prevent suspension trauma while a worker is awaiting rescue.
