Abstract:
A method and safety device for use in accessing confined spaces that incorporates atmospheric safety monitoring and alarm annunciation into a physical access device/mechanism for the purpose of preventing the human confined space entrant from entering a confined space containing a hazardous atmosphere.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of preventing access to a dangerous confined space comprising the steps of:\n extending an entry apparatus to facilitate entry of a worker into said confined, space through an entrance port into said confined space; sampling gas with a first gas detecting sensor from lower portion of said entry apparatus within said confined space for detecting a dangerous condition; using an alarm status annunciator module outside of said confined space communicating with said sensor for broadcasting whether environment within said confined space is safe or unsafe for entry by said worker; and, providing a second active dormant sensor with feedback to monitor active access by an individual into said confined space.
