The Trauma Strap is an indispensable item for anyone working at height, and helps to mitigate the effects of suspension trauma (which can occur in as little as 15 minutes) in the event of a fall. By allowing the fallen worker to assume a standing position and relieve pressure on the lower extremities, the Trauma Strap allows better blood flow and reduces fatigue. Compatible with all Guardian full-body harnesses, the Trauma Strap is easy to adjust, and its low profile keeps it out of the way during work.

• Helps reduce the effects of suspension trauma
• Lightweight and easy to install
• An important part of any rescue plan

Suspension trauma straps are an essential piece of equipment for anyone working at heights, such as construction workers, window washers, or tree trimmers. This specialized strap is designed to reduce the risk of suspension trauma, a condition that occurs when a person is left hanging in a harness for an extended period of time. Suspension trauma can lead to serious health complications, including fainting, dehydration, and even death. By providing a way for the individual to stand up in their harness and relieve pressure on their legs, suspension trauma straps prevent blood from pooling in the lower extremities and reduce the risk of these dangerous consequences.

It is crucial for workers who are exposed to the risk of suspension trauma to be equipped with these straps and trained on how to use them properly. Employers should prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees by ensuring that they have all the necessary tools and knowledge to prevent accidents and injuries while working at heights. By incorporating suspension trauma straps into their fall protection systems, companies can significantly reduce the likelihood of suspension trauma incidents and create a safer work environment for their employees.
