Confined Spaces for Employers: 02. Emergency Procedures and Rescue

Our Confined Spaces for Employers: 02. Emergency Procedures and Rescue course examines how you can create effective emergency rescue plans for your workers. When it comes to confined space rescues, emergency planning and rescue protocols can greatly influence outcomes. In fact, proper planning could be the difference between a rescue and an avoidable tragedy. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates there are about 100 deaths in confined spaces every year. While different confined spaces have their own unique challenges, OSHA points to poor planning as a leading cause of fatalities. In this course, we discuss effective emergency response plans and the different types of personnel required for rescue missions.

Part of our Confined Spaces For Employers series, the Emergency Procedures and Rescue course includes a video, audio narration, downloadable materials, and a quick quiz. Take this course along with others in the Confined Spaces For Employees series to enhance workplace safety in hazard-prone spaces.
