Confined Spaces Rescue Standard Operating Procedure

The Confined Spaces Rescue Standard Operating Procedure was created to protect firefighters from the various risk associated with confined spaces when they are conducting rescue operations or training exercises. This Standard operating procedure covers what occupational exposures firefighters may have and how firefighters will be protected from the exposures while performing rescues. This standard operating procedure also serves to help the employer’s and its employees comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Confined spaces entry requirements as found in 29 CFR 1910.146.
