Safety first at inaugural WindEnergy exhibition

Occupational safety solutions for onshore and offshore wind turbine applications will be showcased by Honeywell at the WindEnergy exhibition. Amongst the products on display will be the Miller Evac-Bodysplint rescue stretcher, Miller HandZup work positioning lanyard, Miller Revolution R7 harness and the Söll MultiRail.

The Miller Evac-Bodysplint rescue stretcher from Miller by Honeywell, has been specifically developed for the wind energy industry. Designed with customer feedback, the stretcher conforms to the shape of the body and has flexible straps. The new spider suspension system ensures safe rescues even in extremely difficult situations

The Miller HandZup work positioning lanyard is a patented work holding and positioning system. Specifically designed for safe and intuitive use guaranteeing optimum work positioning, the lanyard has an ergonomic design that enables increased flexibility, durability and ease of use. It allows hands-free operation with zero risk.

Specifically designed for wind energy applications, the Miller Revolution R7 harness offers users a comfortable fit with enhanced mobility. The equipment features automatic buckles, an Ergo Armor back shield and work positioning belt providing workers with superior protection at height.  All Miller fall protection harnesses designed for the wind industry are CE certified and comply with EN standards (EN 361) and where relevant EN 358 and EN 813. Many harnesses in the Miller line meet international approvals and standards including EN, CSA, ANSI, OSHA and ACE / NZS;

The Söll MultiRail, a modular rail anchor system that can be factory-curved to match any rooftop profile and offers increased fixing intervals of up to six metres which, combined with the availability of overhead versions, make it ideal for next generation multi-megawatt turbines and use in increasingly bigger nacelles.

“The wind power industry is experiencing very rapid growth globally, with constant new demands on workplace safety, and yet falls from height remain one of the greatest dangers,” explains Esther Hafenscher, senior marcom manager of fall protection, Honeywell Safety Products EMEAI. “Feedback from experts and customers is absolutely crucial as the information they give us based on their experiences is essential for the development of our solutions. The international trade fair of WindEnergy in Hamburg is an ideal platform for us to get this feedback in person.”

The inaugural WindEnergy exhibition will be held between September 23-26 in Hamburg, Germany. Honeywell's stand is located at B2.EG.288 in Hall B2
