ReliefStep Safety Device

The Relief Step is a small, light-weight, and relatively inexpensive piece of equipment that anyone using a harness must have!

OSHA states that potentially fatal suspension trauma can happen within minutes while waiting for rescue after a fall. The average time for a rescue is 15 minutes. This is when the Relief Step can become your very best friend!

Orthostatic intolerance, also known as suspension trauma, happens when a person becomes suspended in a harness and remains both vertical and sedentary for a period of time, causing blood to pool in the veins of the legs. Subsequently, blood is restricted to the brain and other major organs that may initially result in unconsciousness. If not rescued promptly, serious injury or death may occur.
