ABRIGO CARE EVEN AFTER A FALL! 
Avoids the effect of suspension trauma with Abrigo suspension safety strap

Often, employers believe their job is complete if they can keep their workers safe from an impact injury during a fall event.Unfortunately, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),timely rescue and post-fall suspension trauma are often ignored when employers are building a fall protection plan.To the employee waiting for rescue, suspension trauma is a real and very serious threat . Greater knowledge of what suspension trauma is and how it affects the body is needed to develop a plan to control the hazards it presents.

The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap was designed to help a worker overcome the potential negative health impacts of suspension trauma (otherwise known as Orthostatic Intolerance). This condition can 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.

The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap is designed to prevent suspension trauma while a worker is awaiting rescue. The Suspension Trauma Safety Strap allows the worker, who is suspended,
to stand up in their harness and to relieve the pressure being applied to the arteries and veins around the top of the legs. The continuous loop design allows both sides of the harness to relieve the pressure being applied to the legs. The strap accommodates either having one foot or both feet in the loop at a time - it will relieve the pressure to both sides with just one foot in allowing for added movement of the legs . The strap allows for increased comfort, balance and improved circulation in the legs while suspended and waiting for rescue.
