Confined space entry protection

These confined spaces are not intended for continuous occupancy, why? If people work in a confined space, they could face life-threatening hazards such as toxic substances, electrocutions, explosions and asphyxiation, that could result in serious injury or death.

A confined space can be more hazardous than regular workspaces for many reasons, many workers are injured and killed each year while working in confined spaces. To effectively control the risks of accidents with unauthorised confined space entries, the entrance and exit should be restricted. 

CableSafe’s confined space entry protection barrier or manhole protection barrier is said to be the ideal tool for employees and contractors to secure these dangerous openings. The barrier warns co-workers and the public of dangers and prevents unauthorised (or accidental) entry.

The law requires employers to provide their employees with safe and healthy workplaces. With CablesSafe's range of safety products you can avoid penalties that come with non-compliance to safety standards and legislations.

The range of confined space entry protection products includes:

Manhole protection barrier

This a heavy corrugated plastic manhole barrier that fits most standard manhole covers. It has elastic cords with hooks enabling a very easy installation to the flange of the manhole. This manhole protection barrier can withstand extreme conditions and contain a sign or vinyl label with messages warning everyone on the confined space entry danger.
