Product Specific Applications
Rescue / Confined Space: The 019-11000 Confined Space System Tripod may be used in both
Confined Space and Rescue applications. Rescue systems function to safely remove a worker from
a confined space environment or after exposed to a fall. There are various configurations of rescue
systems depending on the type of rescue required. Structure must withstand loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings
are dorsal, chest, and shoulder.
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall
before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a
MINIMUM 2' safety factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other
applicable factors. (See Figure 1)
