Moran Environmental Recovery (MER) offers Confined Space Rescue (CSR) as a service to our valued clients.  As a safety-sensitive organization, Moran Environmental Recovery makes safety our number one priority.  Our highest object is protecting our clients, the public, and our employees from harm.

Each year, hundreds of industry-workers suffer needless injury, even death, due to inadequate and sometimes non-existent, Confined Space Entry (CSE) programs.  When working in Permit Required Confined Spaces, OSHA Regulations require a Confined Space Entry Supervisor and Attendant on the job site.  If an OSHA job-site inspection reveals non-compliance, OSHA can cite the employer with Notices of Violation, Citations, and large monetary penalties.  As a service to our clients, Moran Environmental Recovery provides certified Confined Space Rescue trained personnel to manage the confined space and monitor the access and egress of all employees. This insures that no unauthorized or improperly trained and equipped personnel enter the potentially hazardous work environment.  If the client does not have trained entry personnel, MER can provide clients with a full time on-site Confined Space Entry & Rescue crew. This crew not only satisfies the requirements for CSR, but also can enter and work within the potentially hazardous confined space.  This minimizes overall costs to the client by protecting their employees, providing industry experts to perform the requested services, and minimizing client liability for an OSHA violation.  All MER rescue crews arrive equipped with the necessary medical and rescue equipment.  Most importantly, we provide peace of mind through our professionalism, expertise, and diligence.

Rope/High Angle Rescue:

Moran Environmental Recovery also provides Rope/High Angle Rescue services to our clients.  High Angle Rescue work conditions exist when performed on terrain or surfaces with a slope equal to or greater than 60 degrees. Adequate rope systems must be constructed to protect employees from falling, while providing trained rescuer’s with the leverage necessary to prevent the working employees from falling and to gain access to and egress from the rescue location. Examples of high angle locations include: pipe racks, ledges, cat-walks, tops of vessels, silos, storage tanks, and water towers.

High angles are also found below grade level in ship holds, barges, tunnels, sewer and piping systems, and vaults. Good, competent technical rescue skills involving ropes, anchoring and belaying systems, lowering and hauling systems and stretcher work are mandatory for the safe performance of the rescue team.
