FP98 - Suspension Trauma Safety Straps
Following a fall, being suspended in a full-body harness for even a short period can restrict blood flow and lead to suspension trauma. The Portwest FP98 Suspension Trauma Safety Straps are designed to prevent this dangerous condition. Compact and lightweight, they attach directly to most standard harnesses without adding bulk or impeding daily mobility.
Should an incident occur, the user can quickly release the straps, zip them together, and form a sturdy foot loop. By standing in the loop, the worker can relieve pressure from the leg straps and maintain healthy circulation, significantly extending the critical window for a safe rescue. Built with highly durable, high-breaking-strength polyester webbing, the FP98 is a simple and inexpensive insurance policy for high-risk work environments.
