Confined Space Rescue

Situations that usually occur in Confined Spaces:

Confined Space rescue categories:

Safety And Survival At Sea

Surviving in the middle of the sea is the hardest thing because humans cannot breathe underwater & accidents can always happen when we are in the sea.

Two types of accidents usually occur at sea:
- Accidents that can be handled immediately: The personnel can immediately evacuate using the available safety equipment (Lifeboat, Life Raft & others)
- Uncontrolled accident: The personnel are forced to jump into the sea

The right way to save yourself from an accident at sea:
- Use a Life Jacket
- Transfer yourself to the available Lifeboats & Life Rafts
- If you have to jump into the sea, try to place your feet first to the surface of the water
- If you are alone at the sea, hug your body by touching your armpits & closing your legs so that your body can stay warm
- If there are several people at the sea, then this group of people must help each other by forming a circle & hugging others so that the body can stay warm & the injured victim can be placed in the middle of the circle
- Group swimming can also be done by placing people in a row & pinching the legs of the person in front
- If there's no Life Raft, you have to look for floating objects that can hold your body from sinking (wood & more)
- Use Smoke Signals (during the day), Fire Signals (at night) & Mirror Signals to inform Rescue Teams, Ships, Planes, Helicopters & more

Fire Fighting

Fires usually occur in homes & offices & always cause injury, loss of life, damage to buildings & more. Therefore, our ability to save ourselves from fire is very important.

So that we can prevent & deal with fires, we must always ensure safety & protection by having Fire Extinguishing Equipment. Proper Fire Fighting Equipment ensures the safety of everyone, including Firefighters who risk their lives to save others.

Some Fire Extinguishing Equipment that we must have:
- Fire Extinguisher: Every place must have sufficient Fire Extinguisher (water, hose & others)
- Fire Alarm: Fire Alarm will help to direct everyone to a safe place from the fire
- Fire Blanket: This tool is very helpful to prevent the spread of fire, cover the fire, cut off oxygen supply & reduce/extinguish fires

Apart from that, some other things to do when a fire occurs:
- Extinguish fire properly
- Conduct investigations to determine the cause of the fire (dangerous goods, chemicals, gases & others)
- Medical treatment
