Prevention Training

Because the Most Successful Rescue Is the One We Avoid

Our state-of-the-art equipment and prevention-focused approach raises the odds of potential incident survivability to the highest possible level. Through basic prevention training, we introduce professionals to a variety of practical solutions to increase safety at the jobsite.

Specialized Services

Confined Spaces

DC Technical Rescue offers qualified personnel for PRCS, non-PRCS and alternate entries, with extensive knowledge and experience in confined space standby at utility, industrial and commercial sites.

Other settings we support include water conveyance systems such as penstocks, tailraces, draft tubes and sump pits.

Rope Access

With qualified personnel and advanced technical rope systems, DC Technical Rescue enables crews to be positioned and supported in otherwise inaccessible settings, such as the face of a dam or a high angle slope.

Medical Standby

Jobs are safer with medical professionals on site while high-risk work is being performed. DC Technical Rescue’s team of firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics are prepared to handle emergencies that may occur at the jobsite.

Space Classification

With knowledge of the work to be performed and reference to safety data of hazards to be introduced, DC Technical Rescue can help classify any confined space, whether permit required or non-permit required.

DC Technical Rescue provides training on hazards of confined spaces through courses that cover confined space industrial rescue and rescue and fall protection.

Our team also consults with clients on interpretation of regulations and establishing in-house rescue resources.

Gear Inspection

DC Technical Rescue offers structured annual programs to inspect and maintain records, ensuring that workers are using fall protection, lanyards, harnesses, SRLs, slings and other equipment that is safe for its intended purpose.
