How Not To make a light duty barrier
CableSafe Confined Space Safety products significantly reduce accidents in confined spaces as according to OSHA, confined space work is one of the leading causes for occupational fatalities in the U.S.
Confined space entry hazards are severe risks for employees, so accidents with unauthorised confined space entries are often deadly. A confined space entry protection barrier, or manhole protection barrier, is the ideal tool for employees and contractors to secure these dangerous openings. The confined space light duty barrier manufactured by CableSafe warns co-workers of its dangers and prevents unauthorised (or accidental) entry.
Cablesafe’s Confined Space Light Duty Barriers restricts any access to the manhole, as shielding manholes with a net or ribbon is no longer sufficient these days and does not meet the safety requirements.
It is made of plastic and has four arms that are attached to a warning sign using M10 bolts and nuts. These bolts or tie-raps are required to attach to the manhole barrier as it is light in weight and easy to install. The hole in the arms has a length of 5 cm and a width of 2 cm.
