Confined space safety standby and emergency rescue procedures
Ferrous Protection were recently engaged by a longstanding customer to provide confined space safety standby and emergency rescue procedures for a out of service inspection in an underground storage tank. Ferrous Protection attended the site ahead of the project to carry out a work place assessment and a point of work risk assessment of the confined space and the area surrounding the storage tank. A bespoke rescue plan was then prepared which included confined space safety standby and an emergency rescue team.
The confined space safety standby acted as the holewatch at the entry point of the confined space and logged anyone entering or exiting the storage tank, use of a tally board and maintained radio comms with the site safety person. Trained rescue operatives were stationed at strategic points round the confined space including at the tank side manway, tunnel entrance and roof top manway. The following equipment was used: sked stretcher, gas monitors, two-way radios, tripod and winch, BA sets, escape sets, tally board, air horn, confined space entry register.
Before any works commenced, the confined space emergency rescue plan and procedures were briefed out to the working party and any questions answered. Then a dummy rescue drill was carried out using an 80kg dummy which was observed by one of our senior management team. A dummy rescue report was prepared and approval for works to commence was given by the relevant stakeholders. The works were carried out safely, inline with all confined space regulations and best practices and with zero incidents.
