Confined Space Standby Rescue
Permit-required confined space rescue coverage including entry support, retrieval systems, atmospheric monitoring, and emergency response readiness.
STAND-BY TECHNICAL RESCUE
Trained Rescue Teams. On Site. Ready to Respond.
SOS provides OSHA compliant, NFPA certified standby technical rescue coverage for permit-required confined spaces, elevated work, water-adjacent operations, and other high-consequence environments.
Rescue capability positioned where the work is happening.
Standby rescue is not a passive service. SOS teams arrive prepared — with the right personnel, equipment, and site-specific plan to execute a rescue if conditions require it.
Our rescue professionals conduct pre-entry planning, review site hazards, establish communication protocols, and remain staged and ready throughout your operation.
When you contract SOS for standby rescue, your workers are not the rescue team. We are.

Continuous air quality monitoring for oxygen levels, combustible gases, and toxic atmospheres in confined and enclosed work spaces.
