Miller By Sperian Covers All Fall Protection Angles

In line with this policy, Miller by Sperian continues to develop innovative and bespoke products as demonstrated by new Söll Vi-Go system, which recently won a BSIF award for innovation. The cable-based vertical arrest safety system was developed specifically to meet the needs of a number of Sperian’s European clients and was built on Miller by Sperian’s successful rail-based technology, Söll Glide-Loc, which renders vertical arrests of up to 200m safe. The Söll Vi-Go system adopts the energy absorber of its fellow rail-based product, which is integrated into the fall arrester rather than the cable's fixed supports. The absorber is quick to react in the event of a fall. It considerably reduces erratic body movements as well as the force exerted on the user without excessively wearing the cable to which it is attached. In the event of a fall, and in accordance with standard EN 353-1, the impact force exerted on the user must be limited to 6 KN. The Vi-Go bracket keeps the impact force levels far below this value.

As well as its innovative products Miller by Sperian now offers tailor-made safety at height training courses taught by experienced instructors. For flexibility, these training courses can be taken at one of the many Miller by Sperian centres, which are growing in number year on year worldwide, and also within user companies themselves so that the hazards posed by the environment and the protective solutions used can be assessed in-situ.

In addition to its product and training offerings, Miller by Sperian has launched an automatic inspection date reminder system through its dedicated fall protection internet site: www.ritaserv.com. After registering their company and equipment details on the site, users receive an automatic reminder about the equipment's final annual inspection date. The equipment can then be taken to a dedicated Miller Service Point (MSP) for inspection, enabling employers to ensure they meet their legal obligations.
