Confined Space Entry Rescue

2011-08-10T19:11:59.384Z

While technical rescues such as freeing someone from the wreckage of an automobile, train or aircraft accident or building collapse is the usual province of Rescue teams, HAZMAT teams in some jurisdiction are trained and expected to perform confined/enclosed space rescues (though in some jurisdictions both the Rescue squad and the HAZMAT team may be trained to perform such rescues).

Operations in confined spaces are one of the most dangerous types of missions that a HAZMAT responder can undertake. It is a world filled with such dangers as toxic gases, combustable gases, oxygen deficincy and very tight and dark spaces. Temperatures in a confined space maybe extreme, ranging from very hot to very cold.

Confined spaces can be very unforgiving and even a single, simple mistake due to absent-mindedness or poor judgement can cost a life.

Confined spaces: deadly spaces

2011-08-10T18:49:50.280Z

This video from WorkSafeBC is designed for municipal workers and illustrates the basic rules for working in confined spaces. Oxygen deficiency and other potential dangers are covered. In addition, the health effects and physical characteristics of toxic gases including carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, and methane are examined.

WorkSafeBC is a Canadian agency that regulates industrial worker health and safety. Basically, the Canadian version of America's OSHA.

This video covers a timely subject for many Hazardous Materials Response Teams as many such teams are expected to work in confined (also refered to as enclosed) spaces and perform rescues in such locations.
