Confined Space Watch

​​

Entry into tanks and other confined spaces by workers is necessary for many industrial operations and entry into such confined spaces may present a hazard to the worker.  Confined Space watch is a requirement by OH&S when ever anyone is entering a confined or restricted space. Make sure your team is in good hands with a professionally trained Confined Space Watch that knows the dangers of the task. Our confined space watch team is fully aware and confident to take the necessary step to ensure the teams safety.  Knowledge pertaining to pre-entry procedures, accurate personnel count, emergency procedures, and when and how to evacuate the space is critical.

 

Standby Rescue

​

Hire our standby rescue personnel for a few hours, several days, or for multiple weeks. It's often the most efficient solution in terms of time and money spent and it's definitely the safest.  

Our safety and rescue professionals can serve as stand-alone resources, or as a supplement to your own emergency response teams. We have a track record of working with clients in a manner that meets both their operational standards and best practices.  Our technicians meet provincial and national OSH standards including WCB, ANSI, CSA and NFPA.

Technical Rescue

 

Safety First's technical rescue team uses specialized tools and skills for rescue, including confined space rescue, rope rescue, trench rescue, structural collapse rescue, and water rescue. These often require specialized rescue teams as they exceed the capabilities of conventional fire departments or emergency medical services. ​
