Confined Space Rescue & Fall Protection

Confined space rescue systems, including tripods and winches, are essential for safely retrieving workers from hazardous enclosed areas. These systems are a key part of any fall protection rescue plan, required whenever a worker enters a confined space such as a tank, vault, or manhole.

How Confined Space Rescue Systems Work

• Confined Space Winches – Manually or mechanically operated devices used to raise or lower personnel in and out of confined spaces, ensuring quick retrieval in an emergency.
• Tripods and Davit Systems – Provide a secure anchor point for winches or self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) and can be quickly set up over entry points.

The Importance of a Rescue Plan
OSHA regulations require a rescue plan whenever workers enter confined spaces. Tripod and winch systems enable fast, controlled retrieval, reducing the risk of injury or fatality.

Why Use Confined Space Rescue Equipment?

• Ensures OSHA & ANSI compliance
• Provides rapid worker retrieval
• Creates secure fall protection anchor points
• Portable and easy to deploy

Having the right tripod, winch, and fall protection system in place is critical for worker safety and emergency preparedness.
