RESCUE AND EVACUATION:

to implement it. The rescue plan must take into account the equipment and specific training necessary to
make a quick rescue in all foreseeable conditions. If the rescue is from a confined space, the provisions of
OSHA 1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1 must be taken into account. It is recommended that a method for user
evacuation that does not include the assistance of other personnel be provided. This will usually decrease
the time to get to a safe place and the risk to rescuers. Because self-rescue may not always be possible,
the employer must have additional resources available to make a rescue if necessary.
Failure to obey these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
