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, welding, 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.
2.0 System Compatibility
All Miller fall protection products are designed for use with Miller approved components.
Substitution or replacement with non-approved component combinations or subsystems or both
may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and endanger the compatibility within
the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the total system.
2.1 Miller Fall Protection Product Groups
A comprehensive fall protection program must be viewed as a "total system" beginning with
hazard identification and ending with ongoing management review. Miller Fall Protection views
its products as a "system within a system." Three key components of the "Miller System" need to
be in place and properly used to provide maximum worker protection.
A. ANCHOR POINT/ANCHORAGE CONNECTOR
The first component is the anchor point/anchorage connector.
The anchor point, also referred to as the tie-off point, is a secure
point of attachment for connecting devices and must be capable
of supporting 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per worker or meet OSHA
1926.502 requirements for a safety factor of two, such as an
I-beam or other support structure. Anchorage connectors, such
as the cross-arm strap and eyebolt, are sometimes necessary to
make compatible connections between the connecting device and
the anchor point.
B. BODY WEAR
The second system component is the personal protective gear
worn by workers while performing the job. Miller Fall Protection
manufactures full-body harnesses, positioning belts and body
belts for use in specific work environments. Full-body harnesses
are engineered to aid in the arrest of a free fall and should be
worn in all situations where workers are exposed to a potential
free fall. The full-body harness must be used in conjunction with
shock-absorbing equipment to keep fall forces to a minimum. It is
imperative that the harness be worn properly.
C. CONNECTING DEVICE
The third component of the system is the connecting device. The most important feature
of the connecting device is the built-in shock absorber. Whether the connecting device is a
shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, they are designed to dramatically reduce
fall arresting forces. Rope, web or cable lanyards being used for fall arrest MUST be used in
conjunction with a shock absorber (i.e., Miller SofStop pack).
Individually, none of these components will provide protection from a fall. Used properly
with each other, they form the "Miller System" and become a critically important part of
the "total fall protection 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.
Never remove product labels, which include
important warnings and information for the
authorized person/user.
