1. MODULE #1 (In-
troduction to
Confined Space
Rescue)
2. What is the per- more than 60% of confined space fatalities are rescuers.
centage of fatal-
ities of confined
space rescue that
would be the res-
cuers?
3. Confined space - It is large enough and configured so that an employee can bodily enter and
perform assigned work
- It has limited or restricted means of entry or exit. (Ex: tanks, vessels, storage bins,
hoppers and pits.)
- It is not designed for continuous employee occupancy
4. Permit Required (also called a permit space)
Confined Space - Contains a hazardous atmosphere
- Contains a material that has the potential to engulf an entrapment
- Contains internal configurations with the ability to trap or asphyxiate an entrant
by inwardly converging walls or downward sloping floors that taper into smaller
cross section
- Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard
- Hazardous Atmosphere, Internal Configuration, Serious or safety health hazard
and Engulfment.
5. Hazardous At- May expose employees to risk of death, incapacitation, impairment, injury or acute
mosphere illness.
6. Oxygen Content Atmospheric oxygen concentration should be between 19.5% and 23.5%

7. Oxygen Deficient Oxygen levels below 19.5%
8. Oxygen Enriched Oxygen levels above 23.5%
9. Flammable Gas- The concentration of any flammable gas vapor or mist must be below 10% of its
es, Vapors and Lower flammability Limit (LFL)
/or Mists - The LFL is the lowest concentration that a flammable mixture can be ignited when
it comes into contact with an ignition source at a sufficient temperature
10. What is the per- 90%
centage of in-
juries and deaths
in confined space
that are the re-
sult of a haz-
ardous atmos-
phere?
11. Engulfment When a liquid or finely divided flowable solid substance traps or surrounds a
person.
- The substance can fill or plug the respiratory system
- The substance can exert enough force on the body to strangulate, constrict or
crush the person.
12. Bridging An example of engulfment
- Material that is loaded into a vessel that can adhere to the sides of the vessel or
clump together because of the temperature or environment. When the material
is unloaded from the bottom it can create avoid space that can not be seen and
can collapse at any point. Anyone who steps on top of the material can fall below
the bridged material and become trapped.

Life and Health Any condition that would pose an immediate or delayed threat to life, cause
(IDLH) irreversible adverse health effects, or interfere with an individuals ability to escape
unaided from a hazardous environment.
14. Individual Roles Attendant, Authorized Entrant and Entry Supervisor
in Confined
Space Entry
15. Attendant An individual stationed outside one or more permit required spaces who monitors
authorized entrants and performs all duties assigned
16. Authorized En- An employee who is authorized by the employer to enter a permit required space.
trant
17. Entry Supervisor The person responsible for determining if acceptable entry conditions are present
at a permit space where entry is planned, for authorizing entry and overseeing
entry operations and for terminating entry as required.
18. Requirements - A rescue team can be formed internally (on-site rescue team)
for Rescue and - Externally (Private contract or public emergency service)
Emergency
Services in
Permit Spaces
19. Internal Rescue Federal regulations require employees to:
Teams - Provide appropriate PPE
- Train employees to perform rescue duties, Basic First aid and CPR
- AT LEAST ONE MEMBER MUST BE CERIFIED IN CPR
- Practice permit required space rescues once a year
20. Safety Data - Sheet that provides information on the safe use of and hazards of chemicals, as
Sheet (SDS) well as emergency steps to take in the event chemicals are splashed, sprayed, or

ingested
- If an injury occurs an SDS must be available
21. Approaches to There are 3 jurisdictional approaches to emergency response
Operational - Self Sufficient Method
Readiness - Community Dependent Method
- Regional Method
22. Self Sufficient -The responding agency is responsible for everything when a confined space
Method incident occurs in their jurisdiction.
- Most expensive approach
- Onsite rescue team
23. Community De- - Seek out community agency who have rescue training and experience
pendent Method - Create a resource contact list is an emergency arises
- Fire department, Police and Emergency rescue teams
24. Regional Method - Most Cost effective
- Spread across several jurisdictions
- More detailed system of accountability
- Disaster readiness, Massive response and Least Expensive
25. Operational - Personnel: Rescuers that should be medically and psychologically evaluated for
Readiness confined space rescue
Trifecta - Training: Establishes and maintains knowledge with skill proficiency
- Equipment: Right equipment for safe and effective rescue operations
26. NFPA 1006 Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications: Minimum JPR's for
personnel that perform technical rescue operations.
27. NFPA 1500 Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety, Health, and Wellness Program
28. NFPA 1561 Standard on Emergency Services Incident Management System and Command
Safety
