'Generic Risk Assessment 2.1 - Rescues from Confined Spaces 2.1.3 - Trenches/Pits' consists of four intrinsic sub-parts that deal with specific activities of rescues from confined spaces:

• 2.1.1 Sewers

• 2.1.2 Silos

• 2.1.3 Trenches/pits

• 2.1.4 Collapsed structures.

Although trenches/pits are confined spaces this GRAS examines only those hazards, risks and controls that are specific to Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) activities at incidents involving rescues from Trenches and Pits. It must be read in the context of GRA 2.1 Confined Spaces and The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, which provides information relating top FRS work in confined spaces.

Key features:

• Rescues from confined spaces - trenches and pits

• Significant hazards and risks

• Key control measures

• Training

• Technical references.
