It is still happening out there, folks. We are killing our employees during permit required confined space entry operations. Entrants are dying because the permit space was not properly prepared prior to entry; and, tragically, some of these fatalities are the would-be rescuers. As disturbing as the entrant fatalities are, it is the would-be rescuer fatalities that are even more disheartening. Would-be rescuers may have been authorized attendants or passersby that reacted improperly and took heroic, but inappropriate action. Or they may have been professional rescuers, who were not trained or equipped for this type of rescue.
