Veolia Environmental Services (VES) offers complete turnkey confined space rescue ability and standby service that fully meets OSHA 1910 and 1914 regulations and requirements.

VES managers and rescue experts will work with your staff to help prevent problems before they occur and ensure that your employees are properly trained and equipped to meet OSHA’s standards. We will review your safety and rescue equipment, develop and supervise on-site and pre-job safety briefings and assist with confined space rescue scenario planning.

Our confined space rescue professionals will also conduct OSHA 1910 compliant work area access that entails descent, retrieval, ascent and traversing rope systems. This rescue system work involves the use of specialized rope techniques and equipment to provide workers with access to elevated platforms and other difficult locations. Rescue standby systems, properly conducted, will include the use of redundant systems, appropriate fall prevention and retrieval systems, assuring the use of safe and compliant techniques.

VES professional rescue personnel are also trained to deploy lowering and raising systems to facilitate access by special skills personnel (project managers, engineers or inspectors) who are not likely to have the necessary rope access skills to independently access a work area.

Highlights of our confined space rescue program include:
