SUSPENSION TRAUMA STRAPS
Application: The Suspension Trauma Strap is only to be used in conjunction with a full body harness and is developed to prolong the time a person can be suspended after a fall before suspension trauma occurs. Seek medical attention after a suspension, do not lie in a horizontal position, keep person in upright position where possible. Using any form of fall prevention equipment requires a clear understanding of the equipment, recommended uses and limitations. Australian Standards AS/NZS 1891.4 “Selection, Use and Maintenance” should be referred to by all users of this type of equipment. This Standard gives guidelines to understand fall prevention systems and guidance to the correct selection of equipment.
