Learn the essential steps for pre-inspecting and setting up a confined space tripod to ensure safety and functionality.
Location: Perform the inspection away from the confined space to allow sufficient room for assessment.
Checking Labels: Verify that all labelling dates are current and match the paperwork requirements.
Evaluating Equipment: Ensure all parts are in good condition without visible damage. Check clips, adjustable legs, and pins for proper functionality.
Benefits of Adjustable Legs: Adjustable legs allow for stability on uneven surfaces, enhancing safety during operations.
Man Riding Winch: Securely clamp the winch to the designated leg with the pulley overhead for proper operation.
Life Lining: Ensure the safety attendant working at height is securely clipped on, with rotating attachment points inspected for functionality.
Thorough Visual Inspection: Examine all parts for damage, including legs, pins, and rubber feet inserts for grip and stability.
Operational Connectors: Verify two-point operation capability of connectors, ensuring they screw in and press out as designed.
De-accelerator Test: Perform a final test to confirm the de-accelerator functions correctly before use.
Packing Away: After completing the job, pack the tripod into its sturdy bag, ensuring it's clean and free of debris for future use.
