Response Services: Confined Space Rescue, Standby Teams & More

Specialist teams for high-risk environments where safety can't be left to chance.

Trained Personnel. Deployed When It Matters.

When people are working in confined spaces, there’s no margin for guesswork. You need competent rescue teams on-site who understand the risks, know the procedures, and are ready to act if something goes wrong.

At Sector 3 Group, we provide confined space standby teams made up of professionals with operational backgrounds in fire, rescue, and high-risk environments. They’re confident under pressure, trained to national standards, and equipped to integrate with your site safely and efficiently.

Whether it’s a single entry job or a long-term project, we’ll work with you to build the right cover – no generic templates, no overblown pricing, just proper support that does what it says it will.

What We Provide.

  • Confined Space Standby Rescue Teams

    We provide trained rescue teams for confined space work across construction, utilities, rail, and industrial sectors. All personnel are qualified to national standards and deployed with appropriate PPE, communications, gas monitoring, rescue equipment, and an entry control process. We operate in line with the HSE Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and BS 6164.

  • Planned Entry Support

    If you’ve got scheduled works involving confined spaces or restricted access zones, we can provide entry briefings, rescue planning, dynamic risk assessments, and standby cover. We’ll work directly with your site team before and during the task to ensure compliance and safety throughout.

  • Emergency Response Personnel

    For sites with heightened operational risk or limited internal support, we provide on-site response teams with practical rescue and evacuation training. All staff are casualty care trained and capable of managing incidents until statutory services arrive – helping to protect life, reputation, and workflow.

  • Event Fire Marshal Cover

    We offer experienced fire marshals for public events, commercial functions, and large-scale operations. Whether you need visible cover for a crowd-facing space or backstage fire safety support for high-risk activities (pyro, generators, temporary structures), we’ll help you meet your fire plan and licensing conditions with confidence.

  • Control Point & Permit Management

    We can take on the management of entry points, tally systems, permit control, and real-time briefings. This frees up your supervisors and ensures all site activity remains controlled, documented, and audit-ready.

  • Rescue Cover for High-Risk Tasks

    Outside of confined space, we also provide response cover for other high-risk activities – including hot works, isolated plant operations, structural inspections, or complex demolitions. If your method statement requires a standby team, we’ll provide people who understand the job and how to keep it safe.

Who We Work With.

Construction & Civil Engineering

We support main contractors and specialist subcontractors with standby rescue teams for shaft work, deep trenching, culverts, sewer entries, and similar confined operations. Whether it’s a single-entry task or a multi-phase excavation project, we provide competent cover that integrates into your RAMS and helps keep the job moving safely and compliantly.

Utilities & Energy

Our teams are deployed on utility sites including water treatment, power stations, and renewable energy installations. We provide confined space entry and rescue cover for tanks, pressure vessels, underground chambers, and isolated assets, where work is often carried out in restricted conditions with limited escape options.

Rail & Infrastructure

We provide rescue support during planned possessions, tunnel inspections, bridge works, and confined entries in remote or hazardous access zones. We understand the safety-critical nature of rail operations and work within your control procedures and permit systems to maintain full compliance without unnecessary disruption.

Industrial Sites & Manufacturing

For plant shutdowns, high-risk maintenance, or confined space inspections, we offer embedded rescue and safety teams that understand the pressures of downtime and the risks of tight spaces. Our operatives are used to dynamic environments and are trained to support complex isolation and entry procedures with minimal impact on workflow.

Event Operators

We provide fire marshal and fire cover services for public events, festivals, and commercial venues. This includes visible crowd-facing fire safety, backstage hazard monitoring, and integration with local authority fire plans and licensing conditions. Whether you need a single marshal or a team embedded into your event operations, we’ll help you deliver a safe and compliant environment.
