Confined Space Rescue standby service

Any facility with employees or contractors entering Permit-Required Confined Spaces is required by OSHA to have the ability to rescue trapped or injured employees from those spaces. It's a common myth that local Fire Departments will provide this service - but very few are trained in Confined Space Entry and even fewer provide Standby Rescue services for industries. You need a team that can support you, comprised of experienced professionals. You need First Choice Safety Solutions.

it's not just a precaution; it's a requirement

You Need A Confined Space Rescue Team

For Permit-Required Confined Spaces that have a hazardous atmosphere, a Confined Space Rescue Team must be at the facility.

First Choice Safety Solutions provides certified, competent, and qualified confined space rescue technicians and equipment to ensure compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 & 1926.1204 Permit-required specified space programs. But also the other reflected standards that could affect entry into a permit-required confined space such as OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Respiratory Protection and 29 CFR 1910.120 Hazardous Materials. We will assist site personnel with assessing and evaluating work activities, and rescue needs to facilitate the safest environment possible.

The goal of every CSRT Standby Rescue Teams is never to have to rescue someone on your project. Our proactive teams do not wait for an accident/ incident to occur to engage with your staff. Instead, our staff actively assesses the work and develops risk mitigation strategies through proactive hazard identification, regular space monitoring, inspections, and permit review.
