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.

FIRE WATCH SERVICES:
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.
