Rescue
Confined Space Rescue Awareness
Any organization that sends their workers into a permit space must have a means of rescuing them in the event of an emergency. In addition, there are other work activities (e.g., using fall arrest equipment) which may require a rescue capability. In this eight-hour class you will learn the scope of these requirements and the most effective means of complying.
All participants will receive an 80-page student workbook with the full course content.
