Standby & Rescue Personnel

Standby and Rescue Personnel Services

At Zokal, we understand that having rescue personnel with mere qualifications isn’t enough. Practical experience in real-world situations is essential for effective emergency response. Our specialized rescue and emergency response staff bring extensive expertise in medical response, fire safety, hazmat management, breathing apparatus operations, confined space entry, height rescue, and recovery.

During critical operations like shutdowns, the demands on site-based Emergency Response Teams can escalate rapidly, especially with an influx of contractors and an increase in high-risk activities. Often, these teams are not adequately resourced to handle the heightened risks. This is where Zokal steps in.

We provide highly trained Emergency Service Officers (ESOs) who are ready to respond to confined space and height-related emergencies on site. Our personnel are not just certified—they have the hands-on experience and specialized training needed to ensure the highest level of safety and response readiness.
