Safety & Rescue

Safety and rescue equipment lets a team enter a confined space and recover a casualty without anyone else going in. Tripods and recovery winches haul a worker out from the surface, harnesses and fall arrest protect against a fall, and escape sets give clean air to self-rescue.

The standby person operates this kit; their role is set out in our standby person guide, and the crucial difference between a recovery and a man-riding winch in fall arrest vs man-riding. Pair with gas detection for safe entry; see the full confined space entry guide.
