Construction Water Safety & Rescue Planning
Specialist Rescue supports principal contractors and civil engineering companies undertaking works on, over or near water.
We assist with identifying water-related hazards, developing site-specific rescue arrangements and establishing appropriate emergency response procedures.
Our services include water rescue standby teams, rescue boat operations, water safety advice and support with rescue planning for construction activities.
We work alongside project managers and site safety teams to help ensure that rescue resources and operational procedures reflect the risks associated with each project.
Specialist Rescue Boat Operations & Safety Cover
Specialist Rescue provides professional rescue boat operations and standby safety cover for construction, civil engineering, infrastructure and other projects involving work on or near water.
Unlike providers relying solely on basic powerboat qualifications, our rescue boat teams can include personnel holding Rescue 3 Europe Rescue Boat Operator, Swiftwater Rescue Technician and specialist flood rescue qualifications.
Our crews have experience operating in challenging environments, including moving water, river construction sites and areas requiring enhanced rescue capability.
We can supply rescue boats, qualified helms, rescue crew and specialist equipment, with resources selected according to the project's risk assessment and operational requirements.
From short-term maintenance works to major infrastructure projects, we provide flexible rescue boat support and site-specific emergency response arrangements.
