Side Entry Systems for Confined Space

Side entry systems are designed to provide safe and efficient access to confined spaces, such as tanks, silos, underground vaults, and pipelines. These systems ensure compliance with OSHA, ANSI, and other safety regulations while allowing workers to enter, exit, and perform tasks in confined environments with minimal risk.

Key Components of Side Entry Systems

Davits & Davit Arms – Portable or fixed systems that provide anchorage for hoists and retrieval systems.
Tripod or Quadpod Systems – Alternative support structures for side access when overhead clearance is limited.
Winches & Hoists – Used to safely lower and retrieve personnel or equipment.
Counterweight Bases – Provide stability when securing the system outside the entry point.
Harness & Lanyards – Personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent falls.
Retrieval Systems – Self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) or winches to aid in emergency rescue situations.
Gas Detection & Ventilation – Ensures air quality and prevents hazardous gas exposure.

Types of Side Entry Systems

Portable Davit Arm Systems – Ideal for mobile applications and various confined spaces.
Fixed Davit Systems – Permanently installed for regular confined space access.
Clamp-On or Bolt-On Side Entry Frames – Used for accessing horizontal manholes or entry points.
Counterweighted Side Entry Systems – Used where structural mounting is not possible.

Benefits of Side Entry Systems

✅ Enhanced Safety – Reduces the risk of falls and ensures compliance with confined space regulations.
✅ strong>Flexibility – Can be used in different confined space applications, both temporary and permanent.
✅ Efficient Rescue Operations – Allows for quick and safe extraction of workers in case of emergency.
✅ Adaptability – Can be used with self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), winches, and fall arrest systems.

Confined Space & Rescue Systems

A confined space is defined as a work environment with limited or restricted entry and exit, typically characterized by access points smaller than 24 inches in diameter. All job sites classified as confined spaces must be equipped with OSHA-approved rescue equipment to ensure the safe retrieval of employees who may be unable to exit the hazardous area without assistance.
