Ensuring safe and on-time operations with the help of certified Emergency Response Personnel.
Due to the unavailability of qualified local personnel to support a facility, United Safety provided high-angle and confined space instructors to locally train an emergency response team, as well as sourcing all specialized rescue kits. This resulted in smooth, safe and effective activities without any delays caused by safety equipment or personnel.
