Frontline ACTR Universal Suspension Trauma Straps | Canada
Frontline ACTR Universal Suspension Trauma Straps | Canada. Low-profile relief straps that fit virtually any full-body harness. After a fall, a worker hanging motionless in a harness can develop orthostatic intolerance (suspension trauma), which can lead to unconsciousness or worse the longer the suspension lasts. The ACTR straps deploy from the harness so the worker can stand in them and keep blood moving while rescue is organised.

When crews fit the Frontline ACTR trauma straps
Harnesses without built-in straps
Economy harnesses such as the Frontline 50VTB and 100VTB series do not include trauma straps; add these.
Rescue plans
Buys time for the rescue plan every working-at-heights program in Canada must have.
Lone or remote work
Where rescue may take longer, relief straps on every harness are a cheap safeguard.
Crew standardisation
Fit the same straps to every harness so every worker deploys them the same way.
Frontline ACTR suspension trauma straps FAQ for Canada
What are suspension trauma straps for?
After a fall arrest, hanging still in a harness can cause orthostatic intolerance. The straps let the worker stand in a loop and keep blood circulating until rescued.
Will the ACTR straps fit my harness?
Frontline says they work on virtually any full-body harness. Send us your harness model if you want us to confirm.
Are the ACTR straps CSA certified?
Frontline states no standard for this accessory. They are a relief aid, not a fall arrest component, and do not change the certification of the harness they are fitted to.
Do I still need a rescue plan?
Yes. Relief straps buy time; provincial OHS rules still require a written rescue plan for work at heights.
Are they reusable?
Inspect them with the harness before each use. Replace the straps if they are cut, frayed or were loaded in a fall.
Pair the Frontline ACTR straps with your harness and rescue plan
Fit the ACTR straps to any Frontline or Safety Direct full-body harness, and keep an SRL or shock-absorbing lanyard and a rated anchor in the kit for a complete personal fall arrest system.
