All equipment must be inspected before
each use according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Additionally, equipment must be
inspected by a competent person, other than
the user, on a regular basis, at least annually.
Any product exhibiting deformities, unusual
wear, or deterioration must be immediately
discarded in such a manner as to prevent
inadvertent further use.
Any equipment subject to a fall must be
removed from service.

implement it when using this equipment.
Equipment must not be altered in any way.
Repairs must be performed only by the
manufacturer, or persons or entities authorized
in writing by the manufacturer.
Never use fall protection equipment for
purposes other than those for which it was
designed. Fall protection equipment should
never be used for towing or hoisting.
Environmental hazards should be considered
when selecting fall protection equipment.
Equipment must not be exposed to chemicals,
heat, flames, or other environmental conditions
which may produce a harmful effect. Polyester
should be used in certain chemical or acidic
environments.
All synthetic material must be protected from
slag, hot sparks, open flames, or other heat
sources. The use of heat resistant materials is
recommended in these applications.
Do not allow equipment to come in contact
with anything that will damage it including, but
not limited to, sharp, abrasive, rough or high-
temperature surfaces, heat sources, electrical
hazards, or moving machinery.
Do not expose the equipment to any hazard

For harnesses marked compliant with...
ANSI Z359.11 and/or ANSI A10.32 (and OSHA)
CSA Z259.10 (and OSHA)
*Includes body weight, clothing and tools.
**CSA Z259.10 does not specify a capacity range for harnesses; therefore, the manufacturer may establish
the maximum capacity based on testing in accordance with CSA requirements and their internal test program.
***Honeywell, as the manufacturer, rates the harnesses to a maximum 420 lbs (190.5 kg); however, it is
ultimately the responsibility of the user and the user's employer to determine if they elect to comply with the
ANSI standards which limit capacity range to 130-310 lbs (59-140 kg).
Note: For compliance with OSHA 1926.502(d)(16) -- If the system is used by an employee having a com-
bined tool and body weight between 310 lbs. (140.6 kg) and 420 lbs. (190.5 kg), then the employer must
appropriately modify the criteria and protocols to provide proper protection for such heavier weights, or the
system will not be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of OSHA 1926.502(d)(16).

which the specific harness model complies.
(Refer to sample variable label in Appendix B.)
System Compatibility
Miller full-body harnesses and body belts are
designed for use with Honeywell-approved
components only. Substitution or replacement
with non-approved component combinations
or subsystems or both may affect or interfere
with the safe function of each other and
endanger the compatibility within the system.
This incompatibility may affect the reliability
and safety of the total system.
