The Reality of Permit-Confined Entry in the United States
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has stated that approximately 2.1 million individuals enter permit-confined areas annually. In this number, research shows an estimated 100 fatalities associated with confined space entry. Moreover, 15% of these deaths involve individuals who did not have confined space rescue training.
Understanding Permit-Confined Areas
What are permit-confined space rescue services? These services are used to access areas that pose a risk to the entrant. This applies to any space that contains a hazardous atmosphere or the potential to engulf, trap, or asphyxiate an entrant. It also includes recognized safety and health concerns, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or heat stress.
Types of Permit-Confined Spaces
Confined spaces are typically associated with the industrial sector. Entry to these sites requires permitting, advanced training, safety equipment, and proactive preparation. Common confined spaces we service include:
- Silos
- Tanks
- Vessels
- Storage bins
- Hoppers
- Vaults
- Pits
- Maintenance holes
- Tunnels
- Housings
- Ductwork
- Pipelines
Confined Space Rescue & Entry Demands
As there are many forms of permit-confined spaces, a business or individual may need to access these areas for many reasons. However, the most common involves general maintenance. While maintenance may seem like a simple task, without confined space rescue training, this routine task can quickly escalate into a severe hazard.
When Confined Space Rescue Services Are Required
In accordance with OSHA regulations, companies with confined spaces are required to have a confined space rescue team on-site or on standby. Standby rescue services are required for tasks that involve standard confined spaces. On-site rescue teams are mandated for permit-required confined spaces.

While OSHA does recognize certain emergency responders as rescue crews, standard local emergency responders seldom adhere to the compliance standards.
