Alert Rescue provides dedicated confined space rescue services designed for construction, industrial, manufacturing, data center, utility, energy, and other high-hazard environments.

Our teams are built around the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA – Confined Spaces in Construction, including the rescue and emergency service requirements contained in 29 CFR 1926.1211.

We go beyond simply having an emergency number available. Alert Rescue provides trained personnel, specialized rescue equipment, site-specific planning, and integrated emergency medical capability to help ensure that when confined space work is being performed, a qualified rescue resource is prepared to respond.

OSHA Confined Space Rescue Requirements

Construction employers performing permit-required confined space work must ensure that an appropriate rescue capability is available.

OSHA requires employers to evaluate the rescue service based on several critical factors, including:

Ability to respond in a timely manner based on the hazards present

Proficiency in the rescue tasks required for the specific confined space

Availability and proper use of required rescue equipment and PPE

Training in permit-required confined space rescue

First Aid and CPR capability

Practice rescue operations using actual or representative confined spaces

Access to confined spaces for rescue planning and preparation

Alert Rescue builds its confined space rescue services around these requirements while providing additional capabilities that strengthen overall emergency preparedness.

How Alert Rescue Meets and Exceeds the Standard

Dedicated On-Site Rescue Teams

When required by the project and hazard assessment, Alert Rescue can provide dedicated rescue personnel positioned directly at the jobsite during confined space operations.

This eliminates unnecessary dependence on an off-site emergency response system as the project's primary rescue plan.

Our personnel can already be:

On Site • Equipped • Briefed • Familiar With the Space • Ready to Respond

For high-hazard confined space operations, this level of preparedness can significantly improve emergency response capability.

Site-Specific Rescue Pre-Planning

Effective rescue begins before anyone enters the confined space.

Alert Rescue can conduct a site-specific rescue assessment and develop a rescue pre-plan for identified permit-required confined spaces.

Our planning process may include evaluation of:

Entry and exit points

Space dimensions and configuration

Vertical and horizontal access

Atmospheric hazards

Mechanical and electrical hazards

Lockout/Tagout considerations

Rescue anchor points

Tripod and davit locations

Rope rescue requirements

Patient packaging and removal routes

Equipment staging locations

Emergency communications

Ambulance and EMS access

Hospital destination planning

Additional emergency response considerations

The objective is to ensure that the rescue team understands the space and potential hazards before an emergency occurs.

Technical Rescue Capability

Alert Rescue personnel assigned to confined space rescue operations may be trained and equipped for a wide range of technical rescue functions depending on project requirements.

Capabilities may include:

Confined Space Rescue

Permit-Required Confined Space Operations

Vertical Rescue

Horizontal Rescue

Rope Rescue Systems

Mechanical Advantage Systems

Tripod and Davit Operations

Retrieval Systems

Patient Packaging

Atmospheric Monitoring

Ventilation Operations

Respiratory Protection

SCBA Operations where required

Emergency Communications

Hazard Recognition

Lockout/Tagout Awareness

Our goal is to provide a true technical rescue capability rather than simply personnel who have completed basic confined space awareness training.

Integrated Medical Response

One of the key advantages of Alert Rescue is our ability to combine technical rescue with emergency medical response.

OSHA establishes First Aid and CPR requirements for rescue personnel. 

Alert Rescue can provide a significantly higher level of medical capability depending on the project, jurisdiction, licensing requirements, and client needs.

Teams may include:

Emergency Medical Responders • EMTs • Advanced EMTs • Paramedics

This allows medical care to begin immediately following or, when operationally appropriate, during the rescue process.

Rather than waiting for multiple outside agencies to arrive and establish separate operations, Alert Rescue can integrate rescue and medical response into one coordinated system.

Rescue Equipment

Alert Rescue can deploy a dedicated technical rescue equipment cache based on the hazards and configuration of the project.

Equipment may include:

Full-body rescue harnesses

Rescue helmets

Tripods

Davit systems

Rescue winches

Retrieval systems

Static rescue rope

Mechanical advantage systems

Pulleys and rigging equipment

Carabiners and connectors

Anchor systems

Rescue litters

Patient packaging equipment

Multi-gas atmospheric monitors

Ventilation equipment

Communications equipment

Respiratory protection equipment

SCBA or supplied-air systems when required

Trauma equipment

AED

Oxygen and airway equipment where authorized

Equipment is selected according to the hazards, entry configuration, and rescue plan for the specific project.

Atmospheric Monitoring & Hazard Assessment

Confined spaces can contain rapidly changing atmospheric conditions.

Alert Rescue can support confined space operations with atmospheric monitoring for hazards such as:

Oxygen deficiency

Oxygen enrichment

Carbon monoxide

Hydrogen sulfide

Flammable gases and vapors

Lower Explosive Limit conditions

Other identified toxic contaminants

Atmospheric conditions may be continuously evaluated throughout operations when required by the entry plan.

Non-Entry Rescue Whenever Possible

Alert Rescue follows a rescue hierarchy designed to minimize additional exposure to rescuers.

Whenever conditions allow, the preferred approach is:

Self-Rescue → Non-Entry Rescue → Entry Rescue

Non-entry retrieval systems can allow an injured or incapacitated worker to be removed without exposing additional personnel to the confined space.

When entry rescue becomes necessary, Alert Rescue personnel can transition to the appropriate technical rescue operation.

Training & Rescue Drills

OSHA requires affected rescue personnel to practice confined space rescue operations at least once every 12 months using actual or representative spaces, subject to applicable regulatory provisions.

Alert Rescue can go beyond the minimum through continuing competency and project-specific training.

Our program may include:

Initial rescue qualification

Annual documented rescue competency

Recurring skills training

Equipment deployment drills

Rope rescue exercises

Patient packaging exercises

Atmospheric emergency scenarios

Vertical and horizontal rescue scenarios

Medical and rescue integration drills

Site-specific rescue exercises

For major projects, Alert Rescue can also conduct rescue drills involving the actual confined spaces or representative configurations before high-risk work begins.

More Than a 911 Rescue Plan

Calling 911 is an important component of emergency response, but it does not automatically establish a compliant or effective confined space rescue capability.

The rescue service must be evaluated for its ability to respond appropriately to the hazards and perform the specific rescue operations required.

Alert Rescue provides another level of preparedness.

Instead of:

Emergency Occurs → Call 911 → Wait for Responders → Evaluate the Space → Stage Equipment → Develop Rescue Plan → Begin Rescue

Alert Rescue provides:

Emergency Occurs → Rescue Team Already On Site → Immediate Assessment → Rescue Operations Begin

That difference can be critical during high-hazard confined space emergencies.
