This is the first book of its kind to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Statistically, no other form of public safety operation is as dangerous as confined space rescue. Perhaps more than in any other discipline, training on the right procedures and with the right equipment is critical to mission success. Written by veteran rescuer Chase Sargent, this text is a comprehensive, single-source guide to such subject areas as hazardous atmospheres, detection equipment, breathing apparatus, ventilation, retrieval systems, backup teams, and operational procedures. Effective methods of training and regulations governing operations in confined spaces are also discussed at length.
Whether for utility vaults, industrial settings or shipboard environments, this is an indispensable text for anyone who might undertake this most challenging of technical rescue disciplines.
Great for municipal departments, military teams, and industrial brigades. 244 pp. $39
