Miller Height Safety Equipment At Interbuild, Miller will also be showing key products from their height safety range, including: Black Rhino - launched last year, this self-retracting lifeline is strong, tough, yet still lightweight and easy to use.
It also has a unique quick-activating braking system to stop a fall within centimetres and significantly reduce fall impact forces.
The Miller Falcon range of personal fall limiters and self-retracting lifelines will also be on show.
Relief Step - designed to relieve the effects of potentially fatal suspension trauma on a conscious worker suspended in fall body harness after a fall.
It easily deploys when the wearer activates a clearly marked tab.
The wearer can then insert one foot into the web loop-step enabling them to alternate between standing and hanging while awaiting rescue.
This movement permits leg muscles to flex, stimulating blood flow and so eliminating the cause of suspension trauma.
Tool Bandit - a simple, stretchable tool lanyard or wristband that can be used by the wearer to secure tools while working at height and complies with the Working at Height Regulations 2005.
This avoids potentially serious injury to anybody below on site if a tools slips from a worker's grasp.
It is also convenient for the worker who does not waste time travelling up and down ladders or scaffolding to retrieve a dropped tool.
