RR-407 RS3 Suspension Trauma Relief Step Set

The PGTEC RR-407 RS3 is a suspension trauma relief step set that gives a worker suspended in a fall-arrest harness a place to stand and push against, helping to prevent the dangerous pooling of blood in the legs that can lead to suspension trauma after a fall. The set consists of two lightweight aluminium foot stirrups with serrated stainless steel foot plates, adjustable navy polyester webbing straps with stainless ladder-lock adjusters, a small stainless D-ring connector and a short navy lanyard, all kept on the harness so they are available the moment a fall is arrested. The suspended worker steps into the stirrups, stands up from the sitting harness position and actively pushes with their legs, which restores circulation and buys critical extra minutes while the rescue team arranges a lowering or lift. The steps are designed for use with any EN 361 full-body harness that has a dorsal or chest attachment, and the strap length adjusts quickly to fit different leg lengths and boot sizes. Weighing only 380 g per set, the RS3 is unobtrusive in normal work but becomes essential in the seconds after an arrest. PGTEC supplies the RS3 in pairs, with an inspection leaflet, a storage sleeve and a five-year guarantee; it is a standard inclusion in wind-turbine, facade, steel-structure and confined-space rescue kits, and is recommended by safety officers wherever a worker may be left suspended for more than a few minutes before rescue arrives.
