Read MoreOn November 11th, 2020, members of ACME Environmental’s emergency response team underwent Confined Space Rescue training at our Oklahoma City location. This course was led by our Director of Safety and Rescue, Bobby Miller, who has over 25 years of experience in safety and rescue.
The purpose of this training is to adequately prepare our rescue team to assist contractors when they are working in tanks, vessels, and many other confined spaces. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that all employers provide a safe place for their employees to operate and often this work involves confined spaces. A confined space is an area with limited entry and egress that has been deemed not suitable for human inhabitants. Because these areas are not suitable for humans, there is a high level of risk when these tasks are performed. Many workers are killed in confined spaces each year, 60% of which are those who try and rescue somebody in danger without the proper training.
