Confined Space Safety Equipment: Ventilation & Fall Protection

Confined spaces can be found in construction, mining, manufacturing, and many other industries. Working in a confined space can be hazardous because of the potential for dangerous conditions. Just as a protective suit protects a worker from exposure to hazardous materials, confined space safety equipment protects workers from the potential dangers of working in confined spaces. This equipment acts as a barrier between workers and the hazards present in confined spaces, helping to keep them safe and allowing them to do their jobs without fear of injury.

First Place Supply offers a wide range of confined space safety equipment designed to help reduce risk and ensure the safety of workers in confined spaces, including the LifeGuard 3-In-1 Fall Protection System, Davit Fall Protection Systems, Rescue Tripod, and several Hoists and SRLs (or self-retracting lifelines).
