Would you buy a car without a seatbelt? Then why operate in confined spaces without a safe and cost-effective retrieval device? Dragon Hooks provide a simple yet highly effective solution for rescuing individuals from low-risk confined spaces in hospitals, schools, government buildings, and other public facilities.
Dragon Hooks are patented innovative coveralls with built-in harness that make retrieval of the unconscious worker easier than ever.
Unlike traditional coveralls, Dragon Hooks have loops on the shoulders that allow the person wearing them to be easily rescued in the event of emergency.
This easy-to-use retrieval device is designed specifically for low-risk confined spaces in public institutions. Unlike expensive and complex rescue equipment.
Dragon Hooks offer a practical and cost-effective solution, eliminating the need for expensive on-site rescue teams in low-risk confined spaces. While regulations require rescue capabilities for any work conducted, Dragon Hooks provide a reliable and budget-friendly alternative where full-scale rescue teams may not be necessary.
Ensuring compliance with safety regulations is paramount when selecting retrieval devices for confined space operations. Both WorkSafeBC and OSHA have established specific standards to protect workers in these environments.
WorkSafeBC Regulations:
According to WorkSafeBC's Occupational Health and Safety Regulation Part 9, employers must ensure that all confined space hazards are eliminated or minimized, and that work is performed safely. This includes the use of appropriate retrieval systems to facilitate the rescue of workers from confined spaces. The regulation emphasizes the necessity of having a comprehensive confined space entry program, which encompasses the assignment of responsibilities, hazard assessments, and the implementation of written safe work procedures.
OSHA Standards:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates under standard 29 CFR 1910.146 that employers provide retrieval systems or methods for rescuing entrants from permit-required confined spaces. Each authorized entrant must use a chest or full-body harness with a retrieval line attached at the center of the back near shoulder level or above the head. The other end of the retrieval line must be attached to a mechanical device or fixed point outside the confined space, enabling immediate rescue if needed. For vertical spaces deeper than 5 feet, a mechanical device is required to facilitate personnel retrieval.
Dragon Hooks Retrieval Device Compliance:
The Dragon Hooks Retrieval Device is engineered to meet and exceed these regulatory requirements. Key features include:
By incorporating the Dragon Hooks Retrieval Device into your safety protocols, you not only adhere to WorkSafeBC and OSHA regulations but also enhance the overall safety and efficiency of your confined space operations.
Why invest in costly retrieval devices & full-scale rescue teams when Dragon Hooks provide a simple and affordable solution? Designed for low-risk confined space rescue, Dragon Hooks ensure public institutions can enhance safety without breaking the budget.
