Protege is the latest innovation in the Pulsafe safety spectacles range.
It utilises the latest design and materials technology to provide ultra-lightweight iVjust 27gms - safety spectacles with a flexible fit comfortable for long periods, yet tough enough to provide good impact protection in a range of manufacturing environments.

Extreme Environment Harnesses.
Mille has literally taken fall protection safety levels to new heights with two new iExtreme Environmentianduml; harnesses.
The Miller Atex harness and Miller Kevlar harness both address critical safety issues for those working at height in high-risk environments such as the petro-chemical industries; mining; fire-fighting and offshore.
Both have been designed with the safety, comfort and work demands of the wearer as priorities in already difficult environments.
The Atex Anti-Static harness is ideal for those working at height in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
It is made from a special anti-static material which eliminates the risk of an electrostatic discharge (which can be created as the worker moves around) igniting the explosive atmosphere.
The Miller Kevlar harness provides exceptional heat and fire resistance for anyone working at height in a high-risk environment such as fire-fighting, welding, defence and offshore applications.
Special flame retardant Nomex webbing protects against weld splatter and sparks while a tough yellow Kevlar inner core adds strength and is high temperature resistant (withstands working temperatures of up to 177andcent;XC).
All the Miller extreme environment harnesses are compliant with EN 361 (2002).
The ATEX harness is also compliant with the European Directive ATEX/94/9/CE in accordance with EN 13464-1 and EN 13463-1 (2003).

Optifit masks are easy to dismount and assemble for regular cleaning and testing purposes and meets the EN 136 standard.
The Willson MX/PF F950 respirator has a large, triple seal for a superior fit while the silicone face piece with its pleated design makes it comfortable for long periods and able to fit most face shapes.
The pleated design also allows for facial movement while speaking without compromising the seal and the mouth-level exhalation valve also aids communication.
The MX/PF F950 respirator is easy to assemble and maintain.
Optrel OS100 Welding Helmet.
The Optrel OS100 welding helmet gives the wearer total, all-around eye and respiratory protection while working.

This also cools the head and prevents fogging.
Audible and visual alarms act if the air flow level or battery power drops or a filter is clogged.
The Optrel OS100 also offers the best in welding helmet eye protection with is Auto Darkening Filter activating within milliseconds of arc ignition.
