Product Information

Full details

The 3M DBI-SALA Suspension Relief Strap is an essential safety accessory for construction workers, wind energy technicians, and height-safety professionals who utilize full-body harnesses. It provides a critical survival window by allowing a suspended individual to stand within the harness and relieve pressure on the femoral arteries, thereby preventing orthostatic intolerance. While it is a life-saving tool, it requires the user to remain conscious to deploy the straps after a fall, making it a complementary device rather than a replacement for a comprehensive rescue plan.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this device prevent suspension trauma entirely?

It helps mitigate the effects, but it is not a cure. It extends the time a worker can safely hang before rescue, but prompt professional rescue remains the priority.

Is this device compatible with non-3M harnesses?

Yes, it is designed to be a universal fit for most standard full-body industrial harnesses.

How often should I inspect the straps?

You should inspect the equipment before every use, following the manufacturer's inspection protocol provided in the manual.

Does it require a specific type of training?

While simple to use, it is highly recommended that all employees receive hands-on training for deployment while safely on the ground.

What happens if I use it during a fall?

You can stand in the straps to relieve pressure, and once rescued, the straps can be inspected and reset for future use.

Can it be washed?

Clean with mild soap and water if dirty; ensure it is completely air-dried before re-packing the pouches.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to open

Ensure the zipper track is free of debris, dust, or dirt; if stiffness persists, check that the pouch is not mounted in a way that puts tension on the zipper.

Strap feels too short or long

Adjust the mounting position on the harness webbing to change the reach distance; ensure the straps are adjusted evenly on both sides.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to deploy in an emergency
  • Lightweight design does not impede range of motion
  • Fits virtually all full-body harness models
  • Allows for independent relief of suspension pressure
  • Reusable for cost-effective training and deployment

Cons

  • Requires user to be conscious to operate
  • Training is necessary to ensure proper deployment during an emergency
  • Adds a small amount of bulk to the harness hip area

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the straps is straightforward and involves securing the pouch to the harness straps near the hip area. Ensure the pouches are positioned so that they can be reached easily by both hands. To maintain the device, perform a routine inspection before each use to ensure the zippers move freely and the webbing is free of tears, chemical contamination, or structural degradation. If the strap is deployed, inspect the entire assembly before resetting. If the hardware is damaged or the stitching is frayed, the unit should be removed from service immediately.
