Fall protection equipment

This line of Miller arc-rated fall protection products guards workers from electric arc flash and arc-blast exposure. Harnesses feature DualTech webbing engineered with permanent fire-retardant properties. A Kevlar web loop on the harness back pad allows for a “metal-less” connection when used with a Kevlar shock-absorbing lanyard with a choke-off loop. Leather insulators under all metal hardware provide additional protection. Shock-absorbing lanyards (single- and double-legged models) and cross-arm anchorage straps are also available.
