Confined Space Rescue Services
Confined Space Rescue Teams play an incredibly crucial role in day-to-day Confined Space Entry related jobs and projects. When called upon they are required to respond quickly, with situational awareness, implement the Rescue Plan, communicate proactively, and get those affected out as quickly and safely as possible.
Just keeping those general elements in mind, it's unfortunate that numerous companies providing these services today still aren't properly trained or qualified to perform an actual "Entry Level Rescue" in the event needed. Please take the time to verify and confirm your supplier has in fact provided much more than just the basic 8 Hour Training requirement to their employees performing rescue. Observe, be engaged, evaluate the equipment being utilized, discuss the rescue plan, and most importantly ask questions! Those that are tasked with working in those spaces and relying on your selected vendor to respond, will certainly appreciate that you did.
Our employees receive additional operational readiness training and instruction while also performing "mock rescues" numerous times a year that is well above and beyond the base regulatory training requirement. This is driven by our core business principles, commitment, and the value placed on every business's most critical and important asset...
