Many workplaces have confined spaces such as pits, drains and structural voids in buildings or equipment. They often have poor ventilation that can allow a hazardous atmosphere to quickly develop. The hazards are not always obvious and may change from one entry into the confined space to the next and depend on the workplace or environmental circumstances. Dangerous and high-risk work can often call for extra safety measures and precautions. If there is work being done that has the potential to endanger the health and safety of your workers or contractors, ERT RESCUE GROUP can provide standby Emergency Rescue Teams (ERT) to be on standby at your site and be ready to respond if required.
