CONSTRU
CTIONThe construction and dem
olition phases of a turbine’s life are the most challenging for those
working w
ithin it, as in many cases the installed fall protection system
s are not fully available. Rapid assem
bly methods and ever-larger crane capacities allow
turbine construction to proceed w
ith increasing efficiency, but workers rem
ain exposed to fall hazards, both on the turbine itself and w
hen accessing components at ground level.
Our ranges of PPE and anchor system
s ensure the best possible protection in all these situations.
PROTECTION AT ALL LEVELS
Many accidents happen near ground level, w
hen components are being prepared
for lifting or unloading from vehicles. O
ur ranges of PPE and pre-fitted anchor system
s deliver protection even in these low-clearance situations.
M
ANCHORAGE DEVICES
Approved anchor points pre-fitted to
the turbine allow w
orkers to comply
with
legislation and
industry best
practice, and
provide fully-certified
rescue and
escape anchorages
as soon as each section is m
ounted.
VERTICAL FALL ARREST SYSTEMS
By pre-installing our Söll Glidelok rail system
s to ladder sections, workers are
able to climb on a fully-certified system
from the very start of construction.
Where pre-fitted system
s are not available, workers can deploy tem
porary
relocated as work progresses, ensuring cost-effective fall protection w
ith m
inimal set-up tim
e.

COMPREHEN
SIVE FALL PROTECTION
ANCHOR
The selection of correct anchor points is vital, as not only must they be of suitable strength and
designed for loads in the applied directions, but they must be located w
here they can protect the user from
injury, minim
ize fall distances, and yet permit efficient and free m
ovement. The M
iller product range has a com
plete portfolio of permanent and tem
porary devices, from eyebolts for single fixing,
slings and beam clam
ps, to horizontal wire and rail system
s for protecting users on nacelle rooftops.
BODY WEAR
Choosing a harness can be the most im
portant aspect to the user, as the combination of features,
style and fit are essential to reduce stress and maxim
ise comfort w
hen climbing and w
orking in the restricted environm
ents of wind turbines. M
iller provides a range of dedicated wind energy
harnesses for the onshore and offshore markets that incorporate features specific to these dem
anding w
orkplaces, as well as rope access, confined space and basic fall arrest m
odels.

NECTION
AND DECELERATION
DEVICEThere are m
any choices for the connection from your harness to the anchor point, but the selection
must be m
ade with care, to ensure the user is protected at all tim
es and retains freedom to m
ove.
The law requires that w
ork restraint systems should be used in preference, and that fall arrest
systems should m
inimise both the consequences and distance of any fall. W
hen correctly-positioned anchor system
s are combined w
ith the most appropriate connection device, w
orkers can be fully-protected w
ithout impeding their access to the turbine, or creating hazards from
entanglement.
Fall arrest systems m
ust incorporate an energy-limiting deceleration device, to ensure the peak force
devices do not include this feature, and so must never be used in a fall arrest m
ode.
EVACUATION DEVICE
A system
to allow an injured or entrapped w
orker to safely escape from height, and a vital legal
requirement for all w
ind turbines to provide a means of escape in the event of a fire. Typically an
evacuation/rescue kit is located in every turbine nacelle, and should be selected to match the tow
er height so that m
ultiple users can descend in rapid succession.

ccess onto the roof of the nacelle is a routine task, and the exposed position is difficult to protect using conventional m
ethods such as guard-rails, and using fall arrest m
ust be avoided if possible due to the consequences of a fall over the edge, and subsequent need for rapid rescue.
By fitting approved EN
795-D anchor rails around the edges or along the
centre line, workers can operate in restraint w
hile freely accessing all areas of the rooftop. Forces are distributed across m
ultiple fixing points, reducing the need for reinforcem
ent of the nacelle skin.
In the unlikely event of an emergency, these rails are the ideal anchor
point for rescue and descent equipment. Their low
profile and corrosion-resistant m
aterials ensure decades of trouble-free service and keep them
invisible from ground level.

Connection where you need it, w
hen you need it
During construction and m
aintenance, workers w
ill often need to connect their lanyards or ropes to a tem
porary anchorage using the turbine structure. To prevent damage and
contamination from
direct contact, Miller supplies a full range of EN
795-B w

Rope-based fall protection : The universal problem-solver
Before an installed ladder fall protection system
has been comm
issioned, or when w
orking on turbines w
ith no suitable equipment in place, a flexible rope-based fall arrest system
as used by rope access w
orkers can provide an extremely effective, low
-cost and reusable tem
porary solution. Combining our range of EN
1891 low-stretch ropes w
ith the legendary R
ocker (see page 24), connected to a suitable anchorage, workers can m
ove hands-free both vertically and horizontally w
hile staying protected at all times. R
ope-based kits can be carried from
site to site as required, and used to form both fall arrest, w
ork positioning and restraint system
s, as well as tem

EDGE TESTED PRODUCTS
Many falls w
ill occur over an edge, placing extreme stresses on
the material of the lanyard and potentially leading to failure.
The current EN standards (EN
354 and EN355) do not allow
for this type of incident, so if an edge fall is possible in your w
orkplace it is essential that you select a device with
specific edge test approval from the m
anufacturer.
Miller provides a range of these products, show
n by this yellow sym
bol.

ECTION DEVICES
FALL ARREST LANYARDS
The most com
mon connection betw
een a user’s harness and the anchorage point will be a fall
arrest lanyard. These are available in a wide range of designs, from
rope and webbing based
products to stretchable Manyards and self-retracting m
odels; however they all serve to safely
limit the peak force experienced by a falling w
orker to below 6kN
(600kgf), by means of an energy
absorber. Fall arrest lanyards must be replaced if the absorber is activated, even partially.
On w
ind turbines, lanyards with large double-action scaffold hooks are m
ost popular, as they can connect to structural anchorages and around ladder stiles. A
twin-tail product is used to allow
the worker to rem
ain 100%
attached as they move from
point to point: when using tw
o single-tail lanyards they must never be
anchored in a way that w
ould share the energy of the fall simultaneously betw
een them.
FALL FACTORSDuring a fall, a person’s m
ass generates energy in relation to the distance travelled. The ratio of the total distance fallen to the length of the connection is called the fall factor, and should m
e m
inimized as m
uch as possible by selecting the correct lanyard and highest anchorage point:

The law
requires
that w
ork restraint
systems
should be
used in
preference to fall arrest, as by definition they eliminate any possibility
of a fall occurring. Although impossible on ladders, restraint system
s are the perfect solution for access onto the roof of the nacelle and w
hen w
orking on platforms w
ith exposed edges or open trapdoors.
Work positioning system
s wholly or partially support the w
eight of the user, allow
ing hands-free work w
ith confidence. An adjustable polestrap connects betw
een the lateral D-rings on a full body harness and is an essential tool w
hen performing m
any rescues and maintenance
operations within the tow
er. They can also be used for restraint.

EVACUATION &
RESCUE
FEATURES
HOW IT W
ORKSThe rope passes around a grooved pulley, linked to a high-speed shaft. Centrifugal brakes on this shaft are forced apart as they spin, slow
ing the descent automatically and giving a fixed
and safe maxim
um speed independent of the applied load.
This is faster than conventional abseil equipment, and ensures
the most efficient evacuation of m
ultiple workers from
modern
multi-m
egawatt turbines, both onshore and offshore.
To control speed and lock off the descent, the rope can be passed over a friction pigtail and placed betw
een locking cams.
*This is an emergency product only and m
ust be serviced after use. It is not an item
