Generic Risk Assessments 2.1.1 - Rescues from Sewers

Product Description

Generic Risk Assessment 2.1 - Rescues from Confined Spaces consists of four intrinsic sub-parts that deal with specific activities of rescues from confined spaces:

• 2.1.1 Sewers
• 2.1.2 Silos
• 2.1.3 Trenches/pits
• 2.1.4 Collapsed structures

This assessment examines only those hazards, risks and controls that are specific to incidents involving rescues from sewers and similar underground water systems. Although this generic risk assessment focuses on rescues from sewers its contents are applicable to rescues from any underground pipe work e.g. dry docks, fresh water trunk mains, underground reservoirs, sewage pumping stations (known in the industry as wet wells) and sewers under construction. It should be read in the context of Generic Risk Assessment 2.1 Rescues from confined spaces that provides information relating to Fire and Rescue Authorities work in confined spaces.

This GRA is supplied as a loose-leaf document. A binder pack containing an introduction to the series, foreword by Sir Ken Knight, contents and dividers is available to order separately. The binder is the ideal solution for storing the loose-leaf GRAs.
