Confined Space Rescue

Confined Space Rescue Training is designed to prepare workers and emergency responders for safe entry, assessment, and rescue operations in confined or restricted spaces such as tanks, silos, tunnels, manholes, and sewers. These environments pose serious hazards including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, engulfment, limited access, and poor ventilation—making trained response essential to prevent fatalities and ensure safe recoveries.

Confined Space Rescue Training

This course combines classroom instruction with hands-on simulations to cover hazard identification, atmospheric monitoring, emergency procedures, PPE usage, and the deployment of rescue equipment like tripods, harnesses, and breathing apparatus. Participants also learn rescue planning, team roles, communication protocols, and regulatory compliance with OSHA, IS codes, and site-specific HSE norms. Ideal for rescue teams, safety officers, and confined space entrants, this training ensures a swift, coordinated, and safe response during confined space emergencies.
