The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap used to be designed to help a worker overcome the potential negative health impacts of suspension trauma (another way referred to 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 lead to unconsciousness; if not rescued promptly, serious injury or death may occur. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap is designed to prevent suspension trauma at the same time as a worker is awaiting rescue. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap allows the worker, who is suspended, to rise 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 comprises either having one foot or both feet in the loop at a time – it is going to relieve the pressure to both sides with just one foot in making an allowance for added movement of the legs. The strap allows for increased comfort, balance and improved circulation in the legs at the same time as suspended and waiting for rescue.
