Selecting a Rescue Team
The employer should select a rescue team or service that:
- Has the capability to reach the victim(s) within an appropriate time frame for the permit space hazard(s) identified;
- Is equipped for performing the needed rescue services; and
- Agrees to notify the employer immediately in the event that the rescue service becomes unavailable.
The employer should inform the selected rescue team or service of the specific hazards they may confront when called on to perform rescue in a permit space on the site.
The employer should provide the selected rescue team or service with access to all permit spaces from which rescue may be necessary so the team can develop appropriate rescue plans and practice rescue operations.
