At SSTL, we place safety at the top of our priorities. Whether your employees are present in confined spaces, elevated work environments, the marine industry, or where a threat of fire is present, we can deploy standby emergency response personnel to your site. Our experienced and highly trained staff; have professionalism and hazard analysis at hand to ensure the safety of themselves and others while aware of all situation factors.
Before our teams provide standby rescue services, SSTL personnel perform a work-site visit for a Hazard Analysis, Risk Assessment, a review of Emergency Response Plans, Safe Work Procedures, and permit systems. If these are not available, SSTL can work with your company to develop any of the above.
While workers are involved in any of these aspects, there are potential hazards present that could hinder one’s ability to perform a self-rescue. We can answer your call for service and have our team on site with the latest CSA and NFPA approved gear.
