Are confined space rescue kits certified for use in hazardous environments?

These kits are designed to address safety requirements for “permit-required confined spaces,” which may contain hazardous atmospheres, materials that pose risks of engulfment, or other dangerous conditions.

What is the OSHA standard for confined space?

Confined spaces are any areas that aren’t necessarily designed for long-term human occupancy but might need to be entered by human workers to perform specific jobs. They’re also defined by their limited or restricted entrance and escape options–think of areas like tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, pits, manholes, and other similar spaces. OSHA will use the term “permit-required confined space” for any of these spaces that also contains or has the potential to contain hazardous atmospheres, material that could engulf someone, construction that could trap or asphyxiate someone, unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or other hazards.

OSHA’s General Duty Clause requires providing a workplace “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.” OSHA’s standards for confined spaces cover General Industry (29 CFR 1910) and Maritime (29 CFR 1915, 1917, and 1918).

How do you use a rescue tripod?

If you have a lightweight and portable tripod, like from FrenchCreek or any of the other brands that PK Safety carries, setting up your rescue tripod can be done quickly and effectively by one person. Once you’ve extended the legs to your desired length (and adjusted it to accommodate how level or uneven your surface might be), hook up the chain. Don’t just let the chain dangle, coil it out of the way. It’s essential to ensure the tripod has the vertical strength to stand up to the sudden jerk that a fall can cause.. From there, the harness and lifeline system of choice can be attached.

Tripod legs will have non-skid, often rubber, pads under them to keep the system from sliding around on a slippery surface. Workers will need to wear the proper fall protection gear if they are more than six feet from the next closest level.
