A suspension trauma strap is a safety device that is often used in conjunction with a safety harness to prevent suspension trauma in the event of a fall. Suspension trauma occurs when a person is suspended in a harness for an extended period of time, and blood pools in the legs due to the lack of circulation, which can lead to unconsciousness, organ failure, and death. A suspension trauma strap is a simple, lightweight device that attaches to the front of a safety harness and provides a loop for the worker to place their feet in. By stepping into the loop, the worker can take some of the weight off of their legs and improve circulation, reducing the risk of suspension trauma. When working at heights, it is important to always wear a properly fitted safety harness and to be aware of the risks associated with suspension trauma. Using a suspension trauma strap can provide an extra level of safety and peace of mind for workers who may be working in a suspended position for an extended period of time.
