The Safety Boot is a corner piece for temporary guard rails that can be assembled from materials readily available on a construction site. The boot can be anchored into most subfloor materials, including concrete, and it has slots designed for two 2x4’s to form the base of a sturdy post. Keeping the safety boots no more than 8 ft apart ensures OSHA compliance, and the modular nature of the system allows for simple dismantling and relocation as well as simple placement along curved roof edges.

The Miller Twin Turbo Fall Protection System features two 6-ft TurboLite Personal Fall Limiters to ensure that the wearer is always tied off, even when transferring a hook. The mounting system allows the fall limiters to swivel in multiple directions without becoming entangled, with no Velcro straps or flexible webbing to get in the way. The system is attached to the standard D-ring of a harness. The 6-ft TurboLite PFLs weigh 1.9 lb each, and are made of high-strength, impact-resistant nylon.
