Last month, a contractor working inside a municipal water tank in New England became disoriented and collapsed due to low oxygen levels. Fortunately, there was a trained standby rescue team on-site, equipped with gas monitors and rescue gear, and was able to extract the worker safely within minutes. Incidents like this highlight just how critical it is to have a professional confined space rescue team on standby. If your crew is planning a confined space entry, don’t wait until there’s an emergency, contact Confined Space Rescue Solutions to ensure your job site is fully compliant and prepared.
Too often, employers rely on in-house staff with minimal training to act as “rescue ready.” But OSHA regulations are clear: If a space is permit-required, you need a dedicated rescue plan, proper equipment, and personnel trained to perform timely rescue. This isn’t just about compliance, it’s about saving lives.
CSRS does more than wait around for disaster to strike. We evaluate the space, monitor air quality, fill out proper permits, brief entry teams, stage for response and prove the safety peace of mind you need. When seconds matter, having the right people in place is the difference between a rescue and a recovery.
Confined Space Rescue Solutions is firefighter-owned, staffed entirely by current or retired firefighters who know how to respond under pressure. Whether it’s a short-term entry, multi-week project, or high-angle industrial job, hiring a proven team ensures your workers go home safe and your company stays protected.
Confined Space Rescue Solutions, based in Quincy, MA, offers expert standby rescue and training services for employers with confined space entry needs. Serving clients across New England, the company specializes in ensuring the safety and compliance of workers in hazardous environments through professional rescue teams and tailored training programs.
