Rescue Standby
Our mission is to provide highly qualified, fully equipped rescue standby teams for high-risk operations, ensuring the highest standard of safety, rapid response, and professional execution. Midwest Misfits delivers dependable on-site protection designed to safeguard workers, support complex operations, and reduce risk in hazardous environments.
Having a dedicated standby rescue team during high-risk operations is critical because it provides immediate, specialized response when seconds matter most. High-angle work, confined spaces, trench operations, industrial maintenance, and other hazardous environments can turn life-threatening without warning. A qualified rescue standby team brings the technical skills, equipment, and readiness to intervene instantly—long before outside help could arrive. Their presence reduces risk, improves safety compliance, protects workers, and ensures that if an incident occurs, the response is rapid, coordinated, and executed by professionals trained specifically for that environment. In short, standby rescue is not just an added layer of safety—it’s a necessary safeguard that can mean the difference between a close call and a fatality.
Utilizing Midwest Misfits Technical Rescue and Training as your standby rescue team dramatically reduces time to rescue during high-risk operations. Our team arrives fully equipped, pre-positioned, and intimately familiar with the specific hazards of the operation before work even begins. By eliminating the delay of mobilizing off-site emergency resources, we ensure that if an incident occurs, intervention is immediate, targeted, and performed by technicians trained for that exact environment. This proactive readiness shortens the critical window between incident and patient care, increases survivability, and keeps operations compliant with safety standards. With Midwest Misfits on standby, you’re backed by a team built for rapid deployment, precision execution, and keeping workers safe when every second counts.
During a recent weeklong project involving the relining of two of our process tanks, we enlisted their team to provide emergency confined space rescue services. From the very beginning, Nate and his crew demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, preparedness, and technical expertise.
What stood out most was their adaptability and communication. As the project scope shifted daily Midwest Misfits adjusted seamlessly, ensuring safety coverage was never compromised. Their team maintained a calm, confident presence on-site, and worked in full coordination with our personnel and contractors without disruption or delay.
I can confidently say that Midwest Misfits ranks among the best service providers I’ve encountered in the safety and rescue space. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and team-first approach are unmatched.
I highly recommend Midwest Misfits to any organization requiring professional, on-site rescue services. They will be an asset to your team from day one.
