Confined Space Rescue
Confined Space
Confined space rescue equipment needs to be durable and flexible. Tight spaces require equipment that can withstand crawling and dragging, and may be exposed to environmental hazards. The following personal equipment is recommended by CMC as the best option for confined space operations.
Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet is popular due to its light weight and lowprofile. CMC Rescue Rappel Gloves have the extra protection needed when working in confined spaces environments without sacrificing dexterity. CMC ProSeries Confined Space Harness provides multiple attachment points for assisting the rescuer in a confined space environment. EOS II Headlamp with its Class 1, Division 1 intrinsically safe rating is the safest and brightest for working in hazardous environments. ESS Goggles Provide excellent eye protection and minimize fogging. CMC ProTech Manual-Lock Carabiners stay unlocked until put into service. Then a 1/4 turn locks the gate for a secure one-handed operation.
