Ropes, Webbing, Harnesses, and Hardware
People entering confined spaces often require specialized equipment such as ropes, harnesses, mechanical advantage systems, and hardware simply to gain access to the space. When there is an emergency, rescuers require even more specialized equipment. It is critical that all of the equipment used be functional and reliable. The standards outlining the design and proper use of ropes, webbing, harnesses, and hardware used for both entry and rescue operations in confined spaces are discussed in detail. Life safety is the highest priority in the discussion of the capabilities, limitations, and special considerations of each type of equipment. Practical guidance for the use, care, and maintenance of each type of equipment is also provided.
