Will bear that in mind sean.......
If anybody has to go down one (for whatever reason) there is always somebody up top working with them.

my uncle kenny actually got blown out of a manhole at luton airport in 1975,they smelt gas and went for the ladder but it was him last up and he got blown out like a cork out of a bottle 
luckily he was ok(minor cuts etc)and he made the front page of the "luton news" what a way to get famous!!
jokes aside underground is a dangerous place to be if your not careful
cheers tony

i know its over the top but at my place of work when i stood in a manhole my top half was outside the lid. istill have to have..tripod,gas monitor, harness,white contamination suit two half hour oxygen escape bottles and a permit to enter a confinde space. the reason being that i have to kneel down to air test, bench, clean etc. you wouldnt believe the paperwork. 
they pay for it so why not do it right a? :p
