1. Respiratory protection (SCBA - Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus)
2. Harnesses and lifelines
3. Winches and rescue ropes
4. Communication devices (radios, phones)
5. Lighting (headlamps, flashlights)
6. Personal protective equipment (gloves, helmets, etc.)
7. Medical equipment (first aid kits, stretchers)
8. Ventilation equipment (fans, blowers)
9. Entry and exit equipment (ladders, baskets)
10. Atmospheric testing devices (gas detectors)
It's important to note that confined space rescue operations should only be performed by trained and authorized personnel, as they can be extremely hazardous if not executed properly.
