Dragon Hooks: The Smartest Retrieval Device for Low-Risk Confined Spaces

When it comes to confined space entry and rescue, having the right equipment is crucial—especially in low-risk environments where traditional systems can be unnecessarily bulky and costly. Enter Dragon Hooks: a purpose-built retrieval device designed to enhance safety and simplify operations in low-risk confined spaces.

What Are Dragon Hooks?

Dragon Hooks are compact, lightweight retrieval devices developed to provide a practical and compliant solution for low-risk confined space scenarios. Their intuitive design supports quick, safe, and efficient retrieval without the need for complex setups or heavy mechanical systems.

Whether you're a field operator, supervisor, or safety manager, Dragon Hooks deliver a reliable alternative to overbuilt equipment when the job doesn't demand high-risk intervention protocols.

Key Benefits of Dragon Hooks

Tailored for Low-Risk Confined Spaces

Dragon Hooks are engineered specifically for non-permit required confined spaces or areas with minimal hazard exposure. They bridge the gap between no retrieval plan and full-scale retrieval systems—offering compliance without overkill.

Fast, Easy Deployment

Dragon Hooks can be set up in minutes. Their plug-and-play design eliminates the need for extensive training or technical experience, making them ideal for busy crews working under tight timelines.

Lightweight and Portable

Made from high-strength yet lightweight materials, Dragon Hooks are easy to transport and position. No need for cranes, winches, or bulky tripods—this system fits in your truck and goes where you go.

Cost-Effective Compliance

Meeting safety standards shouldn’t break the bank. Dragon Hooks offer an affordable alternative to traditional entry and retrieval setups while still aligning with regulatory requirements for confined space safety.

Designed with Workers in Mind

Built based on real job site challenges, Dragon Hooks reflect the insights of safety professionals and field teams who need simple, effective tools they can trust.

Perfect For:

• Municipal maintenance crews
• Water and wastewater utilities
• Light industrial maintenance
• Telecommunications and cable vaults
• Storage tanks and crawl spaces

Industries That Benefit from Dragon Hooks

Dragon Hooks are versatile and can be integrated into safety programs across multiple industries. They are particularly effective for organizations that regularly work in low-risk confined spaces, such as:

• Utilities: Water, wastewater, gas, and electric utilities conducting inspections and maintenance.
• Municipal Services: City and regional governments managing infrastructure and public safety.
• Telecommunications: Crews accessing underground or enclosed cable and fiber optic systems.
• Manufacturing and Light Industry: Routine maintenance in processing plants and small-scale industrial sites.
• Facilities Management: Maintenance work in crawlspaces, basements, and HVAC areas.
• Agriculture: Entry into grain silos, storage tanks, and underground spaces.

Regulatory Overview: Low-Risk Confined Spaces in Canada

In Canada, confined space regulations are guided by both federal and provincial legislation, with emphasis on identifying risks and implementing proper controls.

For low-risk confined spaces, employers are still required to:

• Conduct a hazard assessment.
• Ensure workers are trained and competent.
• Establish an entry plan, including retrieval procedures.
• Provide appropriate equipment, such as retrieval devices.

According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) and provincial OHS codes, if a confined space has a low likelihood of hazard exposure (e.g., no hazardous atmosphere, no engulfment risk), it may be classified as "non-permit required." However, a retrieval system is still often mandatory to enable safe evacuation.

Dragon Hooks help organizations remain compliant by offering a retrieval option that aligns with these standards without the complexity of high-risk entry systems.

Safety Meets Simplicity

Dragon Hooks represent the evolution of confined space safety gear. By eliminating unnecessary complexity, they help companies:

• Improve response time
• Reduce setup errors
• Stay compliant without overspending
• Empower crews with gear they actually want to use
