THE WORKER-CENTRIC
SAFETY HARNESS
Two important goals of ergonomics
are the comfort and the health &
safety of workers. In many ways,
these are mutually compatible,
for where health and safety are
jeopardized, discomfort results.
When it comes to working at height,
few tasks are more dangerous than
steel erection and scaffolding. Not
only are construction workers at
risk of fall, but long hours spent in
a restrictive non-ergonomic heavy
harness can lead to muscular
fatigue due to restricted freedom of
movement, overexertion, repetitive
tasks, load exposure, sweat and
heat build-up...often resulting in
frustration and complacency. These
states can cause or contribute to
critical errors, such as eyes and
mind not on the task and bad
posture, leading workers to be less
compliant to their harness (incorrect
fit and adjustment, no anchor point
attachment, etc.) which may increase
the risk of musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) and fall.
Honeywell recognized the need for
change and revolutionized a new
generation of safety harnesses,
the Miller H500 series, around four
key worker-centric value drivers:
ergonomic safety, usability, style and
performance.
The new Honeywell Miller® H500
integrates evidence-based
“best-in-class” anatomically and
ergonomically designed pressure-
relief breathable paddings for more
comfort and freedom of movement,
and introduces a variety of other new
smart and intuitive safety features.
The Honeywell Miller® H500 safety
harness synthesizes safety, quality
and comfort. Whereas some other
harnesses may protect workers
from serious injury at the expense
of their long-term well-being, the
Honeywell Miller® H500 aims beyond
compliance to keep workers safe and
supported – making their jobs easier
and keeping them more safe.
