SpanSet Spreader Bar for Confined Space Attachment Loops
SpanSet Spreader Bar for Confined Space Attachment Loops
The SpanSet 4006 Spreader Bar is used for tight confined space entry in line with AS 2865, Safe Working In a Confined Space. Its two double action snap hooks connect down to the marked attachment points on the harness and its single upper D ring connects up to the lifting or lowering device, which holds the worker in a straight vertical profile that a rear D connection cannot give. That upright profile, and the wrist restraint loop on the upper section which narrows the shoulders further, are what let a worker pass through a tight manhole. SpanSet state that the spreader bar is for lifting and lowering only and is not to be used as a fall arrest attachment, so fall protection has to come from a separate system. It is required under AS/NZS 1891.4 to be inspected on a six month cycle, or more often in an aggressive environment.

Product Documents
What does a spreader bar do?
It holds the worker in a straight vertical profile while they are lifted or lowered, which a rear D connection cannot do. That upright profile is what lets a worker manoeuvre through a tight manhole.
Where does it attach?
Both double action snap hooks clip to the marked attachment points on the harness, and the upper D ring connects to the lifting or lowering device. Check the upper D ring connection is correct and locked before the worker is suspended.
Can I use it for fall arrest?
No. SpanSet state the spreader bar is for lifting and lowering only and is not to be used as a fall arrest attachment. Fall protection has to come from a separate system.
What is the wrist restraint loop for?
It is provided on the upper section of the bar and narrows the shoulders further, which helps in a rescue through a tight opening.
