This document discusses hands-free safety tools for confined space entry. It notes that confined spaces can be dangerous due to lack of oxygen and hazardous gases. Several brands of hands-free safety tools are mentioned, including products for fall protection, rescue, retrieval, lighting, heating, power distribution, and ventilation. The tools aim to allow workers to perform tasks in confined spaces safely without risking their hands or needing additional workers for rescue.

1. HANDS-FREE SAFETY TOOLS - CONFINED SPACE SAFETY!
A number of people are killed or get seriously injured in confined spaces each year. This
happens in a wide range of industries, from those involving complex plant to simple storage
vessels. Those killed include people working in the confined space and those who try to rescue
them without proper training and hands-off safety tools.
In the rigs there are several tanks and silos, engine rooms, etc where due to lack of oxygen and
presence of other gases can cause problems.
Some confined spaces are fairly easy to identify, Example, enclosures with limited openings:
● Storage tanks
● Silos
● Reaction vessels
● Enclosed drains
● Sewers
Brands available:
● DBI Sala
● SA Equip
● Ericsson
3M DBI-SALA
Confined spaces have limited openings for entry and exit which complicates rescue/retrieval
and other emergency response services. These often dangerous work environments are
enclosed or partially enclosed and not designed or intended for long-term human occupancy. A
restrictive confined space can represent health and hands- safety risks to anyone who enters.
Capital safety has products from fall protection and confined space entry/retrieval and rescue.
They combine experience and knowledge with state-of-the-art outdoor and indoor testing
procedures and produce the most technologically advanced hands-free safety tools in the
world.]
These hands-free safety tools confirm to bothy national and international standards including
OSHA, ANSI, CSA & CE
