Confined Space Rescue Awareness

Confined Space Rescue Awareness

Did you know that?
• Over 1.5 million workers enter confined spaces on an annual basis.
• Injury or death can occur from asphyxiation, falls, heat, and electric shock.
• More than half of the confined space fatalities are from would-be rescuers.
Case - RECOGNITION AND RESCUE (Fatalities = 1 worker + 1 rescuer)
On March 8, 1984, a 20-year-old construction worker died while attempting to refuel a gasoline engine powered pump used to remove waste water from a 66 inch diameter sewer line that was under construction. The pump was approximately 3,000 feet from where the worker had entered the line. The worker was overcome by carbon monoxide. A co-worker, who had also entered the sewer line, escaped. A 28-year-old state inspector entered from another point along the sewer line and died in a rescue attempt. Both deaths were due to carbon monoxide intoxication. In addition to the fatalities, 30 firefighters and 8 construction workers were treated for carbon monoxide exposure.

Are you prepared to respond to a confined space incident?
Or are you prepared to become a statistic

In the course, we will answer all kinds of questions, including:
• What is a confined space?
• What constitutes a confined space emergency?
• What are the responsibilities of the parties involved?
• What are the hazards associated with a confined space?
• How do I fit into the Emergency Response System?
• How can I maintain site control and scene management?
• How will I communicate with others during an emergency?
• Are there any non-entry rescues I can effect?

Terminal Objective
Upon the successful completion of this module, you will be able to recognize the need for a confined space rescue and identify associated hazards.
Upon the successful completion of this module you will be prepared to safely operate in a confined space rescue at the awareness level.

Enabling Objectives
1. Define confined space and confined space emergencies.
2. Describe the responsibilities of the employer and the employee as they relate to non-entry confined space emergencies.
3. Identify the possible hazards at non-entry confined space emergencies.

4. Identify the components of the Emergency Response System (ERS).

5. Identify the components of site control and scene management.

6. Describe how to establish contact and communications with victims.

7. Describe and select non-entry retrieval methods
