		Confined space rescue is a subset of technical rescue that involves the rescue and recovery of victims involved in situations where there is a confined space, which is defined by OSHA as follows:
		Unfortunately, due to the presence of conditions that may be immediately hazardous to the safety of the would-be rescuer, until confined space rescue standards were developed and followed, many rescuers have died attempting to save others.
		In the USA, confined space rescue is covered under National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1670, and under 29 CFR 1910.146 and 29 CFR 1910.147, and often is managed using the Incident Command System.

		The objective for the rescuer is to recognize when the odds are stacked against them, and then to implement a change in the operation to increase the margin of safety, or stack the odds in their favor.
		Our objective is to provide the rescuer with the information on how to make legal and safe confined space entries and rescues, and provide them with realistic props and scenarios that make them stretch beyond what they may have previously considered their comfort zone.
