Rescue Standby Serivices: Specializing in Confined Space

 Did you know OSHA requires a rescue standby team be made available for every permit-required confined space? At Central Alabama Training Solutions, we realize it’s not always practical or cost-effective to train internal personnel to provide rescue services, which is why CATS has become the go-to in rescue standby services in Alabama. Equipped with all the necessary equipment and experts in OSHA standards we provide a team of specially trained individuals for on-site emergency response and confined space rescue services to satisfy 1910.146 confined space requirements.  

 Depending on the nature of our job, our our services include personnel and necessary equipment. Standard teams are two trained professionals with MSA Altair air monitors, plus the necessary equipment to handle a would-be rescue. CATS keeps a surplus of air and rope equipment to deploy several teams to multiple areas. Most of our employees are professional or retired firefighters, many with medical training; upon request we also can provide medical supplies on the scene. References from our client base are available upon request.   

 Many of our clients are in rural areas with rescue services more than 25 minutes away, so it is important to be prepared for your unique emergency and start medical treatment immediately, if necessary. As such, CATS can provide medical standby services, along with supplies, upon request. For protected entries, we can provide cascade systems with supplied air and a third professional to monitor air consumption. We can provide hole watches and fireguards when needed. If you have any questions about rates and additional standby services, please feel free to reach out to Keith Sharp at 205-242-1996 or by email at ksharp@catscorp.com.
