Confined Space Rescue, Supervision and Management

Intech Environmental Limited specialise in providing confined space cover and rescue. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a safe, cost-effective solution for all confined space requirements especially within difficult and restricted access.

The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, specifically regulation 5 of the confined space regulations (emergency arrangements), makes it clear that reliance on the emergency services alone is not sufficient enough to comply with the Confined Space Regulations 1997.
