The Occupational Safety andHealth Act (OSHA) under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR) assures and enforces safe and healthful working conditions for general industry and construction in the United States. Under the Act, employers have the duty of providing their workers with a place of employment free from recognized safety and health hazards. It’s the law. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) are voluntary organizations made up of manufacturers and consumers that establish product performance standards for fall protection safety. Meeting the standards indicates that products pass accepted testing procedures. The standards are not enforceable as law, however many OSHA regulations are adopted from ANSI standards.

Confined Space Work & Rescue - Tripod System

Each Tripod system (Model T-100S) is composed of a Tripod, 3-Way fall arrest device with lowering and retrieval capabilities and a Personnel or Material Winch. The 7 ft. and 9 ft. Tripods are tested to support a static load of 5,400 lbs. The 10 ft. Rescue Tripod is designed for use with two people. Tested to support a static load of 10,000 lbs.

Confined Space Work & Rescue - Quadpod System

Quadpod system (Model: Q-200S) is used where a tripiod system can not be used. The system is composed of a Quadpod, 3-Way fall arrest device with lowering and retrieval capabilities and a Personnel or Material Winch. The Quadpod is an anchor point and consists of a rugged, easy to collapse base and Davit arm. The Davit arm has mounted positions for a fall arrest / rescue device and winch units. The Davit arm can rotate 360 °. The quadpod is tested to support a static load of 5,400 lbs.

Confined Space Work & Rescue - Davit System

Davit system (Model: D-300LPB) can be permanently mounted where the conventional Tripod or Quadpod are either impractical or cannot be used. The removable davit arm has mounting positions for 3-Way fall arrest device with lowering and retrieval capabilities and a Personnel or Material Winch. The davit arm can rotate 360°. The davit arms of the Quadpod system and Davit system are interchangeable. Constructed of steel plate and tubing, both are coated with hard finish paint in order to resist corrosion. It can be operated from utility trucks or over an edge from a fixed base. The Davit is tested to support a static load of 5,400 lbs.

Confined Space Work & Rescue - MonoPod System

Monopod system (Model: F-100S) is used in those special situations which will not allow the use of the Tripod, Quadpod or fixed Davit systems. Each Monopod system is composed of a Monopod, 3-Way fall arrest device with lowering and retrieval capabilities and a Personnel or Material Winch. Using a suitable and testing overhead anchor point in the existing structure, one capable of supporting 5,400 lbs, the upper end of the Monopod is locked in place. Once the feet of the Monopod are firmly set, the worker can descend into the confined space, assured of fall protection and recovery in the event of an emergency. The Monopod is tested to support a static load of 5,400 lbs.
