ENCLOSED SPACE RESCUE

Procedure for Rescue of Persons from the Space:

In the event that individuals are trapped or injured in a space affected by fire or explosion, rescue procedures should be implemented. The specific procedures may vary depending on the vessel's emergency response plan, but some common steps include:

Assessing the Situation: Evaluate the conditions inside the space to determine the feasibility of rescue operations, considering factors such as fire intensity, structural integrity, and the presence of toxic gases.

Coordination: Establish clear communication between the rescue team and the control station. Coordinate efforts with firefighting teams to ensure the safety of both rescuers and victims.

Equipment and Techniques: Utilize appropriate rescue equipment, such as stretchers, ropes, and lifting devices, to safely extract individuals from the space. Proper rescue techniques, including the use of ropes or specialized rescue harnesses, should be employed.

Medical Assistance: Provide immediate medical attention to rescued individuals, including first aid and, if necessary, transfer to medical facilities onshore or on the vessel.
