Emergency Rescue
Medical Equipment
As per the ACOP 2014;
“Regulation 5 requires that no one should enter or
work in a confined space unless there are emergency
arrangements in place that are appropriate for the level
of risk involved in the task/space. These should include
making provision for extracting workers from the confined
space and making provision for first-aid equipment
(including resuscitation equipment) where the need can
be forseen.”
“To be suitable and sufficient the
arrangements for rescue and resusication should cover:
a) rescue and resusication equipment;
b) raising the alarm and rescue;
c) safeguarding the rescuers;
d) fire safety;
e) control of plant;
f) first aid;
g) public emergency services;
h) training” EMERGENCY RESCUE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
