What you need to know about confined space rescue
Why You Shouldn’t Rely on 911 as Your Confined Space Rescue Plan
Many companies rely on 911 and local emergency responders as their confined space rescue plan, but OSHA regulations make this a practical impossibility in most cases.
OSHA has established 3-6 minutes as an appropriate response time, so you can see why it’s so challenging to meet the standards for using 911 services as a confined space rescue plan.
An employer relying on local emergency services to satisfy OSHA standards must meet three primary requirements:
- Ensure the responder can arrive at the site in a timely manner (usually only a few minutes);
- Ensure the responder has the appropriate training and equipment to enter the specific confined space;
- Ensure the responder has proficiency in the needed rescue services.
How Much Do Confined Space Rescue Teams Cost?
Primary cost factors include the number of people necessary (teams commonly range from 2-4 people), how long the team is required, and what equipment is necessary. Always be aware of what you’re getting for the price you are quoted. In many cases, a quote only includes the man hours, and companies will add on equipment rental charges after arriving to the site. SITEX always offers all-inclusive pricing, so any equipment on the rig is included regardless of what the job calls for. Get a bid today by filling out the form on the page.
