Trauma Strap
Guardian 10733
While it may initially be difficult to believe, one of the most
hazardous elements of a fall from heights does not involve the fall
itself, but the prolonged effects of being suspended in a full-body
safety harness after a fall. The Trauma Strap is designed to prevent orthostatic intolerance, otherwise known as suspension trauma, by allowing a worker to achieve a standing position while waiting to be rescued. This functions to relieve pressure from the legs and allow blood to flow more regularly. A supremely
compact and lightweight device, the Guardian 10733 trauma strap is deployed by a
fallen worker to enable them to stand up in their harness to relieve
pressure from their limbs. It easily attaches to any harness with its
textile and Velcro loops, and can make the difference between walking
away from a fall and being carried away from a fall. It is important to
note that this equipment will not be usable by an unconscious victim,
and should only be considered as an intermediate measure for use until
rescue and recovery occur.
An important part of any rescue plan. EM 381-1-1 States “all full body harnesses shall be equipped with with suspension trauma preventers such as stirrups, relief steps, or similar in order to provide short term relief from the effects of orthostatic intolerance.
