Once you have the essential components of your personal fall protection system—such as a harness, lanyard and anchor—it's time to accessorize. You can round out your gear by adding on some quality accessories that are actually quite useful. For example, if you have a basic harness without padding, then you might really benefit from DBI Sala's Universal Harness Pad. It's a great way to make a simple, inexpensive harness much more enjoyable to wear. For those that work in extreme conditions (when immediate rescue may not be available after a fall), then a good set of Trauma Straps is a must! They allow you to stand up, even while suspended from your lanyard, and thus remove intense pressure from your legs. This allows blood to flow through your femoral artery—truly a life and death situation. Clearly, fall protection accessories can range from simple and practical to practically essential. No matter what kind of accessory you're looking for, we're here to help!
