Standby Rescue Team - Northwest Indiana
Learn the Safety Training Services Difference...
The Safety Training Services, Inc. standby rescue team, when contracted, has the ability to respond to an emergency in a timely manner and possesses the equipment and skills necessary to rescue personnel from any confined space on site. As a standby rescue team is required to respond and reach any victim within a time appropriate to the workplace hazard, we make sure to be ready (while on-site) to make immediate entry if workers are in a life-threatening atmosphere.
Equipment
The Safety Training Services standby rescue team is equipped for the varying confined space hazards. We have self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), supplied air respirators (SAR), personal protective equipment (PPE), barricades, ventilation methods, low-voltage lighting, radios, victim retrieval devices and atmospheric testing equipment available.
Drills & Training
OSHA requires a standby rescue team to practice their skills by making at least one rescue every 12 months (simulated or actual). Our standby rescue team drills many times monthly with both real persons and dummies in a realistic, hands-on scenario in our 18,000 sq. ft. facility located in Highland, IN.
In Addition, Our Standby Rescue Team...
If requested, in addition to their duties of providing support for standby confined space rescue, our standby rescue team can also:
- Monitor the atmosphere of the confined space, or spaces, being entered
- Provide basic first aid, including CPR, for employees at any location at the facility
- Act as a designated attendant for employees who enter confined spaces
- Provide services as fire watch
- Provide safety oversight

The Safety Training Services standby rescue team can also be used as a standby rescue unit for areas that have more than one entry if arrangements for additional attendants and communication equipment have been made in advance and if emergency notification procedures have been preplanned.
