The Future of Ergonomic Safety

Proven with statistical research, safety harnesses save lives for workers-at-height. However, for a harness to work, it must be worn properly. A body harness that is not properly worn and adjusted is almost as dangerous as not wearing one at all.

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. This 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 with their harness (incorrect fit and adjustment, no anchor point attachment, etc.) which may increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and falls.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) determined MSDs are most prevalent in construction, water supply (sewerage and waste supply), and agriculture, forestry and fishing, adding that 52% of all construction workers reported a backache and 41% reporting an MSD in the lower limbs over the previous 12 months.

Honeywell analysed the medical science behind suspension trauma, as well as the science behind ergonomic design and novel materials. They conducted tests to examine breathability and pressure distribution. And then, they added state-of-the-art innovation to shape the Honeywell Miller^® H700 Premium Harness Series.

The Honeywell Miller^® H700 full body harnesses help ensure workers stay compliant, protected and productive when working at height thanks to scientifically based technological advances that focus on comfort, safety and intuitiveness. They aren't just comfortable; they're ergonomically designed for optimum protection.

Two important goals of ergonomics are the comfort and the health & safety of workers. The Honeywell Miller^® H500 IS4 safety harness synthesizes safety, quality and comfort by integrating a variety of smart and intuitive safety features.

Whereas some other harnesses may protect workers from serious injury at the expense of their long-term well-being, the Honeywell Miller^® H500 series aims beyond compliance to keep workers safe and supported - making their jobs easier and keeping them safer.

The Honeywell Miller^® H1OO series has been designed around a simple concept: provide a fundamental fall protection line with exceptional value. The H1OO safety harness was assembled to meet the most common fall protection needs while maintaining a focus on value and safety.
