10.6 Emergency Procedures

10.6.1 Evacuation from Enclosed Spaces
If any of the conditions that are stated on the permit for entering the
space change, or the conditions in the space are suspected of becoming
unsafe after personnel have entered the space, personnel should be
ordered to leave the space immediately and not be permitted to re-enter
until the situation has been re-evaluated and the safe conditions stated on
ึ
the permit have been restored.

10.6.2 Rescue from Enclosed Spaces

When an accident involving injury to personnel occurs in an
enclosed space, the first action must be to raise the alarm.
Although speed is often vital in the interests of saving life, rescue
operations should not be attempted until the necessary assistance
and equipment have been mustered. There are many examples of
lives being lost through hasty, ill-prepared rescue attempts.

Prior organisation is of great value in arranging quick and effective
response. Lifelines, rescue harness, breathing apparatus, resuscitation
equipment and other items of rescue equipment should always be kept
ready for use and a trained emergency team should be available. A
means of communication should be agreed in advance.

Whenever it is suspected that an unsafe atmosphere has been a
contributory factor to the accident, breathing apparatus and, where
practicable, lifelines should be used by persons entering the
space.

The person in charge of a rescue team should remain outside the space,
from where the most effective control can be exercised.

It is imperative that every member of the rescue team should know what
is expected of them. Regular drills and exercises in rescue from enclosed
spaces should be carried out.
