Suspension Trauma Strap Retro Fit

This accessory is designed to be retrofitted onto existing fall arrest harnesses to provide immediate relief in the event of a suspended fall. It features a single pouch with a one-way zipper that allows for quick and simple deployment when needed. The strap is made from high tenacity webbing to ensure durability and strength under load. It includes a quick connect buckle for fast and secure attachment to the harness.

The primary function of this strap is to prevent suspension trauma, also known as harness hang syndrome, which can occur when a worker remains suspended in a harness after a fall. By allowing the user to stand within the strap, it promotes blood circulation and reduces the risk of serious injury or loss of consciousness. The design enables both legs to be placed into the strap once deployed, creating a stable standing position. This helps maintain posture and reduces strain on the body during rescue wait times.

It is intended for use in industries where work at height is common, such as construction, maintenance, telecommunications, and utility services. The strap is worn attached to the harness and remains ready for deployment until needed. Its adjustable design ensures a proper fit across a range of user sizes and harness configurations. The black colour provides a low-visibility option that blends with standard safety gear.

The product is built for reliability and ease of use in emergency situations, focusing on function over complexity. It does not replace the need for prompt rescue but buys critical time by alleviating the effects of suspension trauma. Users should be trained in its deployment as part of their fall protection safety programme. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued functionality.
