UNSPSC 46182300: Fall protection and rescue equipment

UNSPSC 46182300 Fall protection and rescue equipment, a Class code, encompasses confined space entry systems, davit equipment with self-retracting lifelines, anchor point inspection and testing services, and related fall arrest apparatus that state and local governments procure for utility, water treatment, and facility maintenance operations. Recent opportunities reflect both capital equipment purchases and recurring inspection-and-repair services. Issuing bodies include city water and electric utilities, county water departments, and state facility operators.
