Working in confined spaces
Working in confined spaces, such as vaults, tanks and wells, is often associated with challenging rescue situations. Confined spaces and small openings can make access difficult, while exposing the worker to risks such as insufficient ventilation and air that is harmful to health. To avoid this, we offer equipment adapted to work in confined spaces, services and relevant training.

Equipment for working in confined spaces
To climb and be hoisted in confined spaces, you need the right equipment, training and access to emergency rescue. Here we go through the equipment needed to make your work as easy as possible.
To be hoisted in a harness
Being hoisted in a harness, whether for work in confined spaces or other situations, involves a number of important safety requirements that must be met to minimise risks. In order to be hoisted, you need to be connected to the winch and the safety hooks of the fall arrest block. When you are hoisted up or down with the hoist winch, the wire rope of the fall arrest block is automatically deployed, and if you fall or the winch crashes, the fall arrest block will lock immediately. The rescue winch on the fall arrest block is only used in emergencies.
In order to climb
Climbing and working in confined spaces requires careful planning and strict safety procedures, especially when ascending and descending. To work safely, you need an approved and weight-appropriate full body harness with D-rings, a certified fall arrest block with wire rope and automatic locking function, as well as a hoisting winch and rescue winch.
Rescue in case of confined labour
As mentioned, it is important that climbers have the possibility to be rescued on site if a dangerous or challenging work situation arises. That's why at Personligt Fallskydd we offer a wide range of rescue equipment for work in confined spaces. In any work situation, it is also important to have an emergency plan in place, which is why we also offer risk analysis services to minimise accidents as much as possible.
Training - Working in confined spaces
To work in confined spaces, you also need relevant training that gives you knowledge about safe working and rescue. Through our parent company ProAccess, we offer two different training programmes in this area - one for work in tanks and similar, and one for work in wells and other underground spaces where there is a health risk due to dangerous gases. During both training programmes, you will learn how to climb safely in confined spaces, assess risks and perform professional rescue in emergency situations.
Laws on working in confined spaces
The Swedish Work Environment Authority also imposes a number of requirements on work in confined spaces. The laws that apply to this work are:
