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.
Safety Strap Helps Prevent Suspension Trauma.
The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap allows the worker, who is
suspended, to stand up in their harness and to relieve the pressure being
applied to the arteries and veins around the top of the legs. The continuous
loop design allows both sides of the harness to relieve the pressure being
applied to the legs. The strap accommodates either having one foot or both feet
in the loop at a time - it will relieve the pressure to both sides with just one
foot in allowing for added movement of the legs. The strap allows for increased
comfort, balance and improved circulation in the legs while suspended and
waiting for rescue.
Fast and Easy Installation, Operation.
The two packs are compact, lightweight and easily installed to
most harness sizes, styles and brands. To attach, simply choke the pack around
the harness web at the hip. After a fall, the packs can quickly be unzipped,
deploying the web loop and hook straps. These are easily connected and adjusted
to provide a strap for the foot to conveniently step into. This allows the
worker to stand in their harness and relieve the pressure on the legs while
waiting for rescue.
