Suspension Trauma Relief Strap

Suspension trauma relief straps are used to relieve pressure and improve circulation in the legs and hips of a worker who is suspended in a safety harness while he or she awaits rescue after a fall. The straps attach to the safety harness so that they make a loop beneath the worker's feet that the worker can stand on. The worker can bend their knees and use their muscles to balance on the strap, which helps prevent serious suspension trauma injuries.
