We’ve been around long enough to know how important safety is in all industries. Keeping people safe is one of our top priorities. For this reason, we provide a trained and equipped rescue team. Our rescue team can provide you with safety cover and emergency rescue for personnel working at height and working in a confined space.
Our rescue team can perform the necessary assessment of the emergency situation. Conduct any rescue needed in a safe and controlled way, recover any casualties in the fastest possible time and administer first aid.
Working at height
Working at height is any work carried out where a person could fall a distance to cause injury.
One of the biggest causes of serious injury is working at height. It remains the most common workplace fatality.
Our rope rescue teams ensure that any person working at height remains as safe as possible. If something does go wrong, then the rope rescue team are on hand to provide urgent rescue and care.
On-site there should be suitable arrangements to have a rope rescue team in place. It’s important to ensure that worker rescue and retrieval is possible. Rapid response to incidents should be achievable.
A rope rescue team is the safest and most reliable method of providing rescue. Attempted rescue by untrained people increases the risk to the injured party. As well as putting further lives in jeopardy.
Working at height regulations
The ‘Working at Height Regulations 2005’ state:
“Every employer shall ensure that work at height is properly planned; appropriately supervised; and carried out in a manner which is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe”.
