The Kosto CSK011 Trauma Safety Straps are a critical fall protection accessory designed to reduce the risk of suspension trauma after a fall. When a worker is left hanging in a harness, blood circulation in the legs can be restricted, leading to serious health risks. These straps allow the suspended worker to stand and shift their weight, relieving leg pressure and maintaining an upright position while awaiting rescue. Compact, lightweight, and universally sized, they attach easily to most harnesses. All Kosto harnesses are equipped with trauma straps, ensuring every user benefits from this essential safety feature.
