Rescue Services in Victoria, BC

For companies in Victoria, BC, and throughout Vancouver Island, ensuring the health and safety of your workers should be a top priority. Industrial work sites can present many hazards that put employees at risk of injury or illness. Implementing proper occupational health and safety (OHS) programs is crucial. 

At Irwin's Safety, we are highly experienced in providing comprehensive OHS services for industries across British Columbia. From rescue services to developing safety programs, we aim to protect your greatest asset - your workforce. 

Rescue Services to Protect Your Employees 

Having qualified rescue personnel ready at a moment's notice is crucial for worksites with hazards like confined spaces, working at heights, or hazardous materials. This rapid, skilled emergency response can be the difference between life and death for your employees. 

Our rescue teams are specially trained and certified to conduct safe and effective technical rescues in even the most complex industrial environments across Canada. We have expertise in: 

Confined Space Rescue 

Safely retrieving workers from confined spaces like tanks, silos, or pipelines. Teams follow rigorous entry permit procedures and are equipped with gas monitors and specialized gear. 

High Angle Rescue 

Rappelling down or ascending up buildings, towers, cliffs, or other structures to bring injured workers to safety. For worksites with multi-story buildings, chimney stacks, bridges or other tall structures, our rope access technicians and rope rescue teams are fully trained and equipped to reach injured workers at height.  

Rope rescue offers a safe and efficient option for retrieving personnel from elevated worksites without needing additional equipment like cranes or lifts.  

Hazardous Materials Rescue 

Emergency response involving corrosive, explosive, or toxic substances. Our teams have industry equipment, chemical suits, breathing apparatus, and decontamination knowledge. 

We collaborate with a professional engineer to conduct thorough hazard assessments of your worksites. This allows us to determine where rescue teams need to be stationed and proper control measures to enable their safe entry when an emergency arises. 

Compliance with BC OHS Regulations 

All industries in BC must comply with WorkSafeBC regulations for occupational health and safety. This includes adhering to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (B.C. Reg. 296/97). We are experts in these regulations and help companies implement necessary programs and controls per legal requirements. 

Some of the OHS services we provide to support regulatory compliance include: 

  • Hazard Assessments - Identify and control hazards using the hierarchy of controls - elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE to reduce risks to the safety of workers. 
  • JHSC & Supervisor Training - Ensure Joint Health and Safety Committee members and supervisors meet training regulations. 
  • Exposure Monitoring - Measure each worker's exposure to airborne contaminants and noise to keep levels within permissible limits. 
  • Emergency Procedures - Develop emergency response plans and train employees on procedures. Provide on-site rescue services personnel to prevent undue risk. 
  • OHS Program Development - Create comprehensive occupational health and safety policies and programs. 

We maintain strong connections with the BC Forest Safety Council, the BC Oil & Gas Safety Advisory Committee, and other industry groups to stay up-to-date on the latest safety best practices.  

By partnering with Irwin's Safety, companies can have confidence they meet all BC OHS regulations to keep workers protected.
