MSA Suspension Trauma Safety Steps

The MSA Suspension Trauma Safety Steps relieve pressure after a fall by allowing you to stand up in the harness to increase blood flow. Suspension Trauma Safety Steps are an important accessory for your safety harness. The Safety Step is used by deploying the strap, inserting a foot into the step loops, and then standing up in the harness to increase the blood flow to your legs.

What is Suspension Trauma?

Suspension Trauma can occur when a person remains suspended at height (after a fall) for even short periods of time. Suspension in a harness may cause blood to pool in the veins of the legs which can result in unconsciousness; if not rescued promptly, serious injury or death may occur. OSHA requires that employers provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall. The Suspension Trauma Safety Step is designed to prevent suspension trauma while a worker is awaiting rescue.
