United Kingdom Urban Rescue Services (UKURS) Confined Space Rescue Cover
Confined space rescue cover and safety training for high-risk industry
B2H works alongside UKURS to support industrial clients who need specialist rescue cover and training. The UKURS team is made up of experienced former fire and rescue service professionals, supporting COMAH sites, petrochemical facilities and other high-risk workplaces.
Rescue Cover

Storage tanks, pipelines, sewers and other enclosed spaces carry serious risks, including low oxygen, toxic atmospheres and entrapment. UKURS provides:
On-site standby rescue teams: trained rescuers stay on site throughout the work, ready to respond straight away.
Pre-entry risk assessments: hazards are identified and controls agreed before anyone enters.
Emergency rescue planning: a rescue plan written for your site and your task, in place before work starts.
Regulatory compliance: working practices that meet current health and safety legislation.
Equipment
Breathing apparatus, rope rescue systems for vertical entry and recovery, real-time gas monitoring, and reliable communications throughout.
