EN
The Tripod may be equipped with a variety of winches and other accessories, depending on your system
requirements.
This product has been specifically designed and carefully manufactured to provide reliable operation in
many different safety-at-heights applications. These include, but are not limited to:
1.1 Fall Protection
The Tripod is designed for use as a supporting structure for a personal fall arrest system(s) for a worker(s)
entering an opening in the work surface.

1.2 Work Positioning

The Tripod may be equipped with a winch used for the suspension of a worker at a work position for the
performance of a task. When a worker is suspended in a work seat or harness, a secondary personal fall
arrest system must be used which meets applicable OSHA or other local requirements.
NOTE: OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L considers this application to be a single point suspension scaffold,
and requires treatment as such.
1.3 Rescue
The Tripod, when equipped with a Skylotec Series winch, may be used as part of a system meeting the
requirements of ANSI/ASSE Z359.4 for the rescue of a fallen worker.
1.4 Confined Space Entry / Retrieval and Rescue
The Tripod, when equipped with a winch or other suitable device, may be used as part of a system
to facilitate access to and egress from a confined space as well as non-entry rescue in the event of
an emergency. When used with a Skylotec Series winch, this Tripod meets the requirements of OSHA
1910.146, and ANSI/ASSE Z117.1 for use as a confined space entry/retrieval and rescue device.
1.5 Fall Protection while Ladder Climbing
In situations where it is not practical to install and use a temporary or permanently installed personal fall
arrest system, the Tripod may be used to support a winch used to guard against falling while climbing a
fixed ladder or other structure. The winch line can be used as essentially a travelling anchorage connector
that moves up and down with the climber. An energy absorbing lanyard is installed between the winch line
and the dorsal D-ring on the climber's full body harness. The winch must be operated so as to eliminate
any slack in the winch line as the climber moves up and down. The winch operator must be specifically
instructed in such use of this winch. All installations must be designed, installed, and used under the
supervision of a qualified person.
