The Miller SafEscape emergency evacuation devise offers unrivaled lifetime cost of ownership (Purchase + Training + servicing costs) see below:
The Miller SafEscape offers greater cost savings over most other manufacturers of similar emergency escape  descender; the Re certification by a Miller Service Point is required only after seven years (if unused and as new condition) thanks to its robust and highly resistant components. This reduces down time and lowers the cost of ownership; in reality it saves approximately £80.00 - £100.00 per year in servicing costs + carriage costs. This also saves 'down time'  while the descenders are off site being serviced and therefore no back-up systems needs to be purchased to cover this period.
To comply with the Working at Height Directive users must be adequately trained and competent in the use of their height safety equipment. Users should also comply with training requirements recommended by the original equipment manufacturer and this is where big potential cost savings can be achieved. External training is not usually necessary for all employees as the this training can be delivered by the employer (pending competence) Typically training costs from third party training companies start at £500.00 and rises to over £1000.00 per day. Most other manufacturers also recommend refresher training every couple of years - even more cost!
It's up to employer to meet <<ALL>> the requirements of working at height regs and Health and Safety regs 1974.
