That being said, it's dangerous to remain suspended in mid-air while awaiting rescue after a fall. Our suspension trauma straps can be used alongside our safety harnesses to minimise discomfort and health risks in the event that you are left dangling for an extended period of time.
Choose trauma straps from our collection below.
When your body is suspended upright (e.g. in a safety harness) for an extended period of time, you risk suspension trauma. As time goes by, a suspended person may experience shortness of breath, dizziness, and blurred vision; if left for too long without rescue, the individual may eventually lose consciousness (faint).
This is where the situation becomes truly dangerous - when a suspended person faints, they are at risk of death due to a lack of oxygen reaching the brain. However, our harness trauma straps help to reduce the likelihood of this happening by effectively allowing the user to stand up while suspended. This assists normal blood flow and increases the amount of time that can be safely spent awaiting rescue.
To recduce the risk of a traumatic injury while you're working at height, order trauma straps today!
If you have any questions about our suspension trauma straps and how they work, please don't hesitate to contact the Safety Liftin Gear team.
