Abstract

A confined space entry device and/or fall arrester for use in securing a person working at elevation, the device including modularized components which allow it to be readily reconfigured. In particular, the extension arm of the device is removably secured to one end of an elbow, the other end of which is removably secured to a post or mast which is securely anchored, for example, to a base. The device can include arms and elbows of different configurations and lengths for various applications in the field. In one embodiment, the mast, arms and/or elbows may be tubular members made from a composite material that is sufficiently elastic to absorb forces to arrest a falling person, but sufficiently resilient to deform and return to its original configuration
