The registered trademark “S.T.S.® – Special Techniques Rescue” identifies Italy’s first Industrial Rescue project.

S.T.S.® involves highly specialised personnel using a combination of purpose-designed equipment and special techniques to provide emergency response at industrial sites and during high-risk activities, including work at height and in confined spaces.

These specialised techniques draw on national and international experience.

To date, S.T.S.® teams have accumulated more than 556,000 hours of field operations across a wide range of industrial environments, including Oil & Gas, petrochemicals, power generation, major construction projects, pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding and plant maintenance.

​

EGC technicians can respond rapidly and effectively to complex emergencies, such as confined spaces with hazardous atmospheric conditions and elevated or difficult-to-access areas where Special Techniques Rescue is required.

​

In addition to standby rescue and emergency response, E.G.C. teams can provide clients, on request, with a comprehensive service supporting their HSE function through planned safety-improvement activities, including:

•         confined-space mapping

•         work-area inspections and support for coordination meetings

•         dedicated rescue and recovery plans and emergency drills

•         preliminary checks and work-area inspections

•         reporting and resolving non-conformities

•         training, practical instruction and on-the-job training

​

In addition to Special Techniques Rescue, E.G.C.’s experience and expertise enable us to support clients with:

• integrating and updating the client’s and contractors’ emergency plans

• defining the number, roles and specific competencies of emergency response personnel

• identifying the equipment required to complete rescue operations

• defining the temporary works and provisions required before work begins

• identifying the manoeuvres and techniques needed to carry out an effective rescue and evacuate an injured person

• conducting emergency drills to validate and, where necessary, refine the plan.
