What is a Confined Space?
A confined space is any area that is large enough for a person to enter and perform work but has limited means of entry or exit and is not designed for continuous occupancy. These spaces can present significant hazards, including poor ventilation, oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, or the risk of engulfment. Examples of confined spaces include tanks, silos, storage bins, pipelines, sewers and underground vaults.
​
Working in confined spaces is inherently dangerous due to these hazardous conditions. The risks are heightened because workers may become trapped, overcome by gases or fumes, or face other life-threatening situations that make self-rescue difficult or impossible. That's why having a standby rescue team on site is crucial for the safety of personnel.

Why You Might Need a Standby Rescue Team
-
Rapid Response to Emergencies: In a confined space, seconds matter. Having a standby rescue team ensures that trained professionals are ready to respond immediately in the event of an emergency, such as a worker becoming incapacitated due to lack of oxygen or exposure to harmful chemicals. ​
-
Specialised Skills and Equipment: Confined space rescue requires specialised knowledge and equipment. Standby rescue teams are trained in advanced rescue techniques, including rope rescues, the use of breathing apparatus and managing hazardous atmospheres.
-
Compliance with Safety Regulations: Health and Safety at Work Act and other regulatory bodies often require a standby rescue team when workers are entering confined spaces that present high risks. Failure to have a rescue plan in place can lead to regulatory penalties and more importantly, endanger lives.
-
Prevention of Delays and Increased Safety: Standby rescue teams not only respond in emergencies but also oversee operations, ensuring safety protocols are followed and preventing accidents before they occur. This proactive approach reduces the chances of incidents while also enhancing operational efficiency.
​
Having a standby confined space rescue team on-site is a critical component of a comprehesive safety strategy, safeguarding both lives and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

They monitor atmospheric conditions, maintain a safety watch and are prepared to initiate emergency response procedures if necessary.
-
Enhanced Safety Monitoring: Our Top Persons are trained to detect and respond to signs of distress or danger within confined spaces. They ensure that proper ventilation and gas monitoring systems are functioning correctly and that safety equipment is available and in use.
