A proficient technical rescue standby team is essential for ensuring safety in high-risk environments where traditional emergency response methods may be insufficient. Our primary role is to provide immediate, expert assistance in life-threatening situations, particularly in complex and hazardous settings such as confined spaces, high-angle areas, trenches, water bodies, and industrial sites.

 

 

 

OSHA states, “An employer who designates rescue and emergency services must:

Evaluate a prospective rescuer’s ability to respond to a rescue summons in a TIMELY MANNER, considering the hazard(s) identified.
Many think fire department response is immediate, however, it is not. If we look at time, the following plays a role…

​

​

Reaction Time: Time between the entrant having a problem requiring rescue and the safety attendant’s recognition that the entrant has a problem.

​

Contact Time: The time taken by the attendant to contact the rescue team.

Response Time: The time taken by the rescuers to arrive at the scene of the rescue after contact.

Assessment Time: The time taken by a rescue team to size up the problem and determine the strategy to perform a safe, efficient rescue.

Preparation Time: The time taken by a rescue team to set up for the rescue.

Rescue Time: The time taken for the team to reach, treat, package, and evacuate the victim from the confined space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Utilizing a standby rescue team will reduce time to rescue by having systems in place.
