Confined space rescue equipment
Hey team, What if any gear do you have to effect a rescue in the areas you work in (underground sub stations) that would be a confined space.

Hi Matt, Alpine have a Confined Space Trailer set up with Tripod, Rescue Ropes, gas detectors and other equipment. Minimum 3 person entry team
We have a do not enter live notice on our Underground substations due to age of equipment. About to start a risk assessment on each to get clear understanding of potential risks including Arc Flash. All our underground subs also have access doors that open with a safety rail to prevent fall. We have a programme of replacement to move all above ground over the next 5 years if possible.
