The onsite confined space and fall rescue regulations are necessary for any workplace and should be ready to be implemented according to a pre-determined rescue plan.
As an employer, you should ensure that none of your workers enter or remain in any confined space unless it is in accordance with a plan and with written rescue procedures in place should the need arise. These rescue procedures should be ready to go the minute you need them.
