Manhole guard systems are portable anchorage connectors used for vertical entry into confined spaces. The manhole guard with integrated mast barricades exposed entrypoints while providing the necessary strength needed for fall protection, entry and retrieval applications. The davit arm and manhole guard with integrated mast interfaceallows for reduced material surrounding the confined space entry, thus reducing the presence of trip and fall hazards.
