Confined Space & Rescue

Confined Space & Rescue Cover

Standby rescue cover and confined space support, provided by our Level 3 IRATA-qualified team.

Confined space and rescue cover is a specialist requirement - many sites and contractors need a qualified rescue team on standby before work at height or in confined spaces can legally proceed. Our supervisors hold Level 3 IRATA qualifications and First Aid training, and our team has real experience working in demanding environments, including ballast tank repairs on offshore support vessels.
