3M™ DBI-SALA® Suspension Trauma Safety Straps

Everyone can agree that our own safety, as well as the crews' safety that work on our sites, is the number one priority. We invest a lot of resources into training, safety equipment, and fall protection to make sure we equip ourselves with everything necessary to get home safe. While this planning and foresight is of paramount importance, we're still human. Accidents can happen, and stage crews need to know how to quickly act in the event of an incident to rescue a fallen worker. A dangerous scenario can occur if a suspended worker is left dormant in their harness after a fall. This deadly and fatal scenario is something that shouldn't be expected, but most certainly planned for.

From the leaders of safety technologies, 3M™ DBI-SALA®'s Suspension Trauma Safety Strap are the answer to keeping a fallen worker safe at height while awaiting rescue. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap allows the worker, who is suspended, to stand up in their harness and relieve the pressure being applied to the arteries and veins around the top of the legs. The strap's continuous loop design allows both sides of the harness to aid a suspended worker. For added stability, the strap can accommodate either one foot or both feet in the loop at a time. This allows for increased comfort, balance, and improved circulation during the rescue period.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is suspension trauma, and why does this product matter after a fall?

Suspension trauma (orthostatic intolerance) occurs when a worker remains motionless in a harness after a fall, causing blood to pool in the legs and potentially leading to unconsciousness or worse if rescue is delayed. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap lets the suspended worker stand up in the harness, relieving pressure on the arteries and veins and buying critical time until rescue arrives.

Does the strap work if only one foot fits in the loop, or do I need both feet?

It can accommodate either one foot or both feet in the loop at a time, giving flexibility depending on the worker's position and comfort while suspended, rather than requiring a specific single configuration to function.

Can this Suspension Trauma Safety Strap be reused after it's deployed once?

Yes. It features an in-field re-settable design, meaning it can be reset and readied for use again after deployment, rather than being a single-use component that must be replaced entirely.
