a rescue of someone within a confined space. All Rescue team members
must meet all of the training requirements of confined space entry
training with the addition of the following requirements:

for permit spaces. PPE required might be respirators, fall arrest
systems, ropes and backboards.

team must be trained in the first aid and medical skills needed
to treat victims overcome or injured by the types of hazards encountered
in the permit space. Typically CPR and First Aid training is sufficient
training for the Confined Space Rescue Team.

Health & Safety that have been selected to be part of the Confined
Space Rescue Team.

within that time.
