Confined Space Rescue: Planning for the Unexpected

Confined spaces are some of the most hazardous environments in industry. Whether it’s a tank, tunnel, or vessel, every entry must have a plan — and a rescue team ready. At Medway Access & Rescue, we provide confined space rescue standby and entry supervision for all levels of risk.

Why Every Entry Needs a Rescue Plan

UK law requires that no one enters a confined space without suitable emergency arrangements. Relying on public emergency services alone isn’t enough; response times and access limitations can turn a minor incident into a fatal one.

Our Approach to Confined Space Safety

• Pre-entry risk assessment and rescue planning

• Continuous atmospheric monitoring and communication

• Fully equipped standby rescue teams on site

Prepared for Every Scenario

Our rescue teams are trained in rope-based and mechanical retrieval, first aid, and confined-space medical response. We provide peace of mind so your team can work safely, productively and in full compliance with HSE regulations.
