VIDEO: Safety Backed by Science: Honeywell Miller® H700 Harness

Safety and comfort go hand in hand, especially when working at height. Uncomfortable fall protection equipment can lead to fatigue, frustration, improper use, and noncompliance, increasing the risk of injury. Enter the new H-Series Premium Full Body harness from Honeywell Miller®. As a global leader in fall protection, our legacy informs our future. And the H700 embodies our strong focus on ergonomics, science and safety innovation. Science enables Honeywell engineers to design and innovate products that help workers' lives. The H700 boasts scientifically-based technological advances focusing on comfort, safety, and intuitiveness.

The goal is straightforward — to keep workers at height compliant, safe, and efficient. Fall protection can be a lifesaver, but even a successful fall arrest doesn't eliminate risk. Suspension trauma can pose a serious threat to workers, for whom quick rescue is a matter of life and death. With the Miller H700, all it takes to step out of danger is one pull. Two trauma relief steps, one for each foot, are quickly released so workers can wait for rescue in a safe, upright position. To reduce worker fatigue and risk of falling, Honeywell researched the science behind ergonomic design and examined various materials, human factors, and data. We analyzed materials for breathability, pressure compression, thermal conductivity and water vapor resistance.

The triple layer padding not only protects but also distributes pressure evenly, minimizing heat build up and body contact while maintaining superior breathability, durability, and strength. It ensures optimum airflow and breathability thanks to its patented moisture-dispersion technology and 3D knitted fabric. Whether they need to crouch, bend, or crawl, workers can adjust their leg straps in the hybrid configuration for a more comfortable fit and greater freedom of movement. The smart pivot adjusters allow workers to adjust the shape of their leg straps for a snug fit.

For workers in utilities, construction, and telecom, having tools and accessories at hand is a must, especially when working at height. The Miller H700 harness is the first harness to feature modular, lightweight accessory straps to make it easy to stow tools and other safety equipment. The Miller H700 harness also comes with an integrated and intuitive personal fall limiter connector. This way, workers can attach self-retracting lifelines and carabiners effortlessly. Multiple tool tether anchor attachments and lanyard keepers are conveniently positioned in several accessible locations. Rebar hook lanyards can be parked in multiple locations, including on the front and waist. The H700 harness features a permanent QR code to explore all the features of the H700 via smartphone.
