INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

EN
[This user instruction manual covers all Miller and Miller Titan full-body harnesses, as well as body belts (excluding Linemen's Belts).]
Thank you for your purchase of Honeywell Miller fall protection equipment manufactured by Honeywell Industrial Safety.
All persons using this equipment must read, understand and follow all instructions. Failure to do so may result in serious
It is crucial that the authorized person/user of this equipment read and understand these instructions. In addition, federal law
requires employers to ensure that all users are trained in the proper installation, use, inspection, and maintenance of fall protection
equipment. Fall protection training should be an integral part of a comprehensive safety program.
Proper use of fall arrest systems can save lives and reduce the potential of serious injuries from a fall. The user must be aware that
forces experienced during the arrest of a fall or prolonged suspension may cause bodily injury. Consult a physician if there is any
question about the user's ability to use this product. Pregnant women and minor children must not use this product.
1 PURPOSE
Honeywell Industrial Safety offers a wide array of full-body harnesses for every application. While full-body harnesses may be used
for positioning, travel restraint and rescue, they are the only acceptable form of body wear for fall arrest. Harness designs offer
superior safety and functionality with features developed to meet key user needs, such as comfort, fit, ease-of-use, style, durability,
compliance, flexibility and convenience.
Always use a full-body harness for fall arrest. Body belts may be used for positioning and travel restraint only.
2 GENERAL FALL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
2.1 General Requirements
The user's organization shall retain the manufacturer's instructions and make them readily available to all users.
All authorized persons/users must reference the regulations governing occupational safety, as well as applicable ANSI or CSA
standards. Please refer to product labeling for information on specific OSHA regulations, and ANSI and CSA standards met
by product.
It is essential that the users of this type of equipment receive proper training and instruction, including detailed procedures for the
safe use of such equipment in their work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2, Minimum Requirements for a Managed Fall Protection
Program, establishes guidelines and requirements for an employer's managed fall protection program, including policies, duties,
and training; fall protection procedures; eliminating and controlling fall hazards; rescue procedures; incident investigations; and
evaluating program effectiveness.
Full-body harnesses which meet OSHA and current ANSI/ASSE and CSA standards are intended to be used with other components
of a Personal Fall Arrest System that limit maximum arrest forces to 1800 lbs (8kN) or less.
Proper precautions should always be taken to remove any obstructions, debris, material, or other recognized hazards from the work
area that could cause injuries or interfere with the operation of the system.
Always check for obstructions below the work area to make sure potential fall path is clear.
Allow adequate fall clearance below the work surface.
To minimize the potential for accidental disengagement, a competent person must ensure system compatibility.
All equipment must be inspected before each use according to the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, equipment must be
inspected by a competent person, other than the user, on a regular basis, at least annually.
Any product exhibiting deformities, unusual wear, or deterioration must be immediately discarded in such a manner as to prevent
inadvertent further use.
Any equipment subject to a fall must be removed from service.
The authorized person/user shall have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it when using this equipment.
Equipment must not be altered in any way. Repairs must be performed only by the manufacturer, or persons or entities authorized
in writing by the manufacturer.
Never use fall protection equipment for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Fall protection equipment should
never be used for towing or hoisting.
Environmental hazards should be considered when selecting fall protection equipment. Equipment must not be exposed to
chemicals, heat, flames, or other environmental conditions which may produce a harmful effect. Polyester should be used in
certain chemical or acidic environments.
All synthetic material must be protected from slag, hot sparks, open flames, or other heat sources. The use of heat resistant
materials is recommended in these applications.
Do not allow equipment to come in contact with anything that will damage it including, but not limited to, sharp, abrasive, rough or
high-temperature surfaces, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
Do not expose the equipment to any hazard which it is not designed to withstand. Consult the manufacturer in cases of doubt.
Never remove product labels, which include important warnings and information for the authorized person/user.
2.2 Warnings and Limitations
Capacity [See TABLE 1]
The allowable capacity of Miller and Miller Titan harnesses varies among the requirements of ANSI, CSA and OSHA. Based on the
requirements of these fall protection standards and on Honeywell's internal test program, the harness capacity rating for Miller
and Miller Titan harnesses is as shown in TABLE 1.
Users must refer to the variable harness identification label included on the harness at the time of shipping to verify the standards
