Preventing Enclosed Space Deaths Requires Discipline Over Instinct. 1.Rescuer Deaths Dominate Enclosed Space Fatalities. 2.Case Study Shows Danger of Impulsive Rescue Attempts. 3.Safe Rescue Demands Discipline and Proper Procedure. It’s alarming to note that a large number of deaths in confined spaces happen to would-be rescuers who jump in without taking the necessary precautions. According to NIOSH data, over 60% of fatalities in these situations involve rescuers themselves. From 2000 to 2024, there were 67 recorded deaths on ships, 48 of them were crew members, and 19 were shore workers. Senior officers are particularly affected; nearly half of the 23 deceased captains lost their lives while trying to rescue others, reports gard. #Gard #EncloseSpace
