Confined Space Rescue
Great for hatch or manhole access, a simple lightweight tripod and winch (such as the 8ft Aluminum Tripod & Winch Combination from DBI/SALA) is a common way of providing workers with a simple and rapid form of personnel retrieval. Geared winches provide the leverage to pull a heavy worker up and out of a space. Confined Space Rescue
Harnesses and Extraction Tools: Along with a good tripod and rope access equipment, a good harness is essential. The ExoFit Confined Space Rescue is specially designed with extra attachment points to secure an incapacitated team member. A Y-Lanyard is helpful in keeping the victim vertical during egress, and simplifying the extraction process. Gas Detection: There are a wide range of multi-gas monitors that detect the common gases: Hydrogen Sulfide, Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide and Lower Explosive Levels of a variety of combustibles. More sophisticated gas detectors can also be customized to detect the specific gases that may be produced in certain industrial plants and factories. The Gas Alert Max range or MultiRAE devices (for wireless data transmission) will help your team stay appraised of dangerous gas levels in order to help avoid accidents in the first place.
Confined Space Rescue in industrial environments is serious business, with potentially deadly consequences. However, as the saying goes: luck favors the prepared. With proper planning, training and the right gear, the job becomes predictably safer. Industrial Confined Space Rescue involves preparing not only for what to do when there is an accident, but also how to prevent accidents from taking place.
Confined Space Rescue can be made safer by companies willing to take the steps so that self-Confined Space Rescue and non-entry rescue are viable options for all workers in the field.
