Hi All, I have been tasked to write a rescue for working below ground, confined space for storing contaminated water from factory. Can anybody give some pointers as to what to cover in the plan. Regards

May be a bit over the top for what you are looking for....but a couple of pointers/headers... Methods of communication (from entry team to Rescue) Methods fo Rescue: lowering system required? lifting system? overhead lifting? stairwell? Pe-rigging required? Rescue Equipment required Carbiners? pulleys? Harness? Main lines? Anchor Straps? carabiners? webbing? Ascenders? decenders? Safety lines? Rescue equipment inspections Medical equipment (bear in mind all team entrants should be EFAW) First aider? O2 Therapy/suction? defib? Long board?Distance EM services have to travel to get to the location?

Start with getting the staff that are to action the rescue and those working in there on a day to day basis together and work with them to gain as much team knowledge as U can as its they who will have detailed knowledge of the environment and its problems/quirks and talk with those who have provided the confined space training
