Safemaster provides high-quality confined space equipment that fully complies with OH&S Regulations and Australian Standards, giving you peace of mind that your workers are protected in demanding situations.. Working with leading brands such as Zero, Spanset, Miller and 3M, rely on Safemaster to find the confined space equipment your workplace needs.

An Extensive Selection of Confined Space Equipment

Our specialised confined space safety equipment provides a range of options to help your workers perform in demanding environments. Choose from a selection of tripods, harnesses, inertia reels, and more. Here’s a clear breakdown of our confined space equipment:

• Confined Space Tripod – Used for lifting loads, assisting in access to confined spaces, as well as for securing and rescuing people. The tripod is commonly used in conjunction with winch and inertia reel.
• Davit Arm System – Provides a fixed anchorage point for access into confined spaces. The Davit arm system is designed principally around the lifting of personnel.
• Retractable Type 3 Inertia Reel – Type 3 inertia reel includes a rescue lifting device that is equipped with hand operated winch with an automatic brake to prevent the self-contained descent of a person.
• Confined Space & Rescue Harness – When there is a risk of falling whilst descending into or ascending out of the designated confined space, a confined space harness must be worn.
• Spreader Bar – Designed for use with rescue winches, and confined space type harnesses with rescue loops on shoulders. A Spreader bar is ideal for confined space entry/exit as well as rescue and retrieval applications.
• Confined Space Kit – A simple all-in-one confined space kit is designed to meet the health and safety requirements for access to confined areas. The kit includes a tripod, rescue winch, retractable lanyard, multi-impact helmet, spreader bar and a PVC tripod bag.

Confined Space Equipment for A Range of Applications

Safemaster can support any job site by helping you select the right confined space equipment for your specific requirements. Our confined space equipment are designed to meet relevant industry regulations for confined space entry and rescue, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance in demanding environments.

With a versatile range suitable for a wide variety of applications, Safemaster’s equipment is trusted across construction and infrastructure projects, utilities, oil and gas operations, and emergency services, delivering dependable performance wherever safe access and rescue are critical.

• Tank and Vessel Maintenance: Storage tanks, water tanks, and chemical vessels often require workers to enter enclosed spaces for inspection, cleaning, or repairs. Tripods, rescue winches, and confined space harnesses allow workers to be safely lowered into the space while maintaining a reliable retrieval system.
• Sewer Access: Maintenance work inside sewers and underground drainage systems requires controlled vertical entry and reliable fall protection. Tripod systems, confined space winches, and self-retracting lifelines help manage safe entry while ensuring workers can be quickly retrieved if required.
• Industrial Plant Maintenance: Boilers, pressure vessels, and processing equipment in industrial facilities often require internal inspection and servicing. Davit arm systems, recovery winches, and rescue harnesses allow technicians to access restricted spaces while maintaining safe retrieval capability.
• Silo and Storage Bin Access: Clearing blockages or carrying out inspections inside silos and storage bins presents fall and entrapment risks. Harnesses, retrieval winches, spreader bars, and tripod systems provide secure entry and dependable rescue support.
• Confined Space Rescue Operations: When you need to save an individual from a pit, shaft, or enclosed structure, fast retrieval is critical. Confined space rescue equipment, such as tripods, inertia reels, rescue winches, and rescue kits, enables emergency teams to recover personnel safely.
• Construction and Infrastructure Work: Underground service pits, vaults, and shafts are common across construction and infrastructure projects. Tripod anchorage systems, davit arms, rescue winches, and retractable lifelines provide secure entry, fall protection, and controlled worker retrieval.
• HVAC and Ductwork Access: Large ventilation ducts, air handling units, and plant room voids often require technicians to enter restricted spaces for inspection, cleaning, or system maintenance. Confined space equipment, such as rescue harnesses, self-retracting lifelines, and tripod retrieval systems, helps maintain safe entry while ensuring workers can be quickly recovered if conditions change.

Confined Rescue Entry and Retrieval Equipment

Working in confined spaces requires reliable equipment that allows workers to enter restricted areas safely while maintaining a clear rescue plan. Safemaster supplies confined space equipment designed to support controlled entry, secure positioning, and rapid retrieval if an emergency occurs.

Our confined space rescue equipment includes tripods, retrieval winches, harness systems, and complete confined space kits that allow workers to be safely lowered into tanks, pits, shafts, and underground spaces. These systems provide a stable anchorage point and dependable recovery capability, helping ensure personnel can be quickly and safely retrieved when working in hazardous confined environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you need to learn more about our personal protective equipment before making a purchase, browse the frequently asked questions below.

What do I need to consider when looking for confined space rescue equipment?

You should consider the type of confined space, how workers will enter and exit the area, and how they will be retrieved in an emergency. It is also important to ensure the equipment meets relevant safety standards and can be regularly inspected and maintained to remain compliant. If you need expert advice, contact our team.

I work in very tight spaces where tripod legs cannot fit. What are my options?

A davit arm system is one of the most effective alternatives to a tripod, particularly in confined or restricted spaces where tripod legs cannot be deployed. It can be securely mounted to a base plate, wall bracket, or floor socket, allowing it to operate in areas with limited floor space while still providing a reliable anchorage point for lifelines, winches, and fall arrest devices.

Is a winch considered fall arrest equipment?

A winch is generally not considered fall arrest equipment on its own. However, it forms part of a fall protection system and can be used for fall arrest when combined with a Type 3 fall arrest device. The primary function of a winch is to raise or lower a worker, and it is not typically designed to arrest a sudden free fall.

Do I need a height safety specialist to set up a confined space system?

Many confined space systems are designed for portability and can be set up by competent end users. However, where a system involves bolted anchor points or forms part of a permanent installation, a qualified height safety specialist must be engaged. An engineering assessment is also required to verify structural integrity and ensure compliance.

What is the load rating for a tripod?

Most tripods are rated as two-person anchorage points, providing a secure and reliable support system for confined space work. They offer a stable temporary attachment point for lifelines, winches, and fall arrest devices, and are commonly used for vertical entry, exit, and emergency retrieval operations.

Can I buy a complete confined space rescue kit?

Yes. Safemaster offers complete confined space rescue kits that include essential components such as a tripod, rescue winch, retractable lanyard, harness, helmet, and accessories required for safe confined space access and retrieval.
