STAND-BY RESCUE TEAMS:
     Should an emergency arise, stand-by rescue team will notify the appropriate local municipal public safety authority while responding to the site of the emergency. After the on-site rescue team has extracted the injured employee(s), basic first aid techniques will be implemented and will continue until the proper authorities arrive.
     If required, standby rescue service could be provided 24 hours a day, with team members working in shifts. If requested, in addition to their duties, the team can also:

  • Monitor the atmosphere of the space, or spaces, being entered.
  • Provide basic life support, including CPR, for employees at any location at the facility.
  • Act as a designated attendant for employees who enter a confined space, and provide services such as fire watch.
  • The rescue team can also be used as a standby rescue unit for areas that have more than one entry location if arrangements for additional attendants and communication equipment have been made in advance and if emergency notification procedures have been pre-planned.
     Each member of our rescue team has met or exceeded the following federally-mandated minimum requirements for certification:
  • 40-Hr. Hazardous Material & Emergency Response
  • 8-Hr. Confined Space Entry
  • 40-Hr. Industrial/Confined Space Rescue, and
  • First Aid/CPR Certified (the majority of our members are EMT's and/or paramedics)
  • OSHA 10 Training

SITE SAFETY ATTENDANT/FIRE WATCH SERVICES:
      The site safety attendant ensures the safety of the client's employees and/or contract vendors. The attendant will know the site hazards, the signs of exposure to hazardous materials, continually maintain an accurate count of authorized entrants in a permit-required confined space, continually monitor site conditions, summon rescue and emergency services if an emergency arises, and order evacuations if the site is not safe.
      The fire watch will inspect any area designated as hazardous for any type of welding, burning, sparks, or open flame. The fire watch will check the hot work permit and permit tags and ensure the area is as free as possible from fire hazards and that proper precaution has been taken to prevent igniting combustible materials. The fire watch will also inspect the fire-extinguishing equipment, limit unauthorized use of flame or spark-producing equipment, and communicate with and coordinate the departments concerned with fire protection.
