CLEANING
Basic care of all Miller Fall Protection equipment will prolong the durable life of the unit and will
contribute toward the performance of its vital safety function. Proper storage and maintenance
after use are as important as cleansing the equipment of dirt, corrosives, or contaminants.
Storage areas should be clean, dry and free of exposure to fumes or corrosive elements. Wipe
off all surface dirt with a sponge dampened in plain water. Squeeze the sponge dry. Dip the
sponge in a mild solution of water and commercial soap or detergent. Work up a thick lather,
with a vigorous back and forth motion. Then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Hang freely to dry, but
away from excessive heat, steam, or long periods of sunlight.
HOW TO WEAR A FULL BODY HARNESS
Full-body harnesses are the only form of body-wear to be used for fall protection/fall arrest. It
is very important to have a proper fi tting harness throughout the entire course of a work shift.
Do not allow your harness to become loose or slack. The following procedure will describe out
to properly "don" (put on) a harness. The location of the chest, leg and sub-pelvic straps are
critical to the optimal performance of a full-body harness in a fall arrest. (Refer to the "Proper
Harness Fit" section.)
