Welcome to Wright Rescue Solutions!

Simply stated, we are a US-based consulting company, specializing in regulatory safety compliance issues related to confined space and other forms of technical rescue.

Qualifications And Experience

The experience and knowledge base of our team here at Wright Rescue Solutions is second to none. Our personnel have amassed a diverse background in all aspects of emergency service response and rescue and are among the most capable in the field. In fact, our team members have conducted safe and effective training sessions for tens of thousands of students since our establishment including those from major industry, military, and emergency service organizations worldwide. Members of our team are not only respected teachers and authors, but respected members of the rescue and standards-making community nationwide. We serve on both of the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) committees dealing with technical rescue and, as such, have helped to develop the very standards that govern these life safety practices worldwide. See Our People for more information on a few of our team leaders.

What Do We Do?

Training Services

Our programs cover a variety of subject matter in almost every aspect of OSHA and NFPA compliance relative to emergency response and technical rescue. We provide practical and effective solutions for the situations faced by your rescue personnel within their area of response. In addition, all of our services are customized to meet YOUR specific needs based on YOUR circumstances. This helps to assure that our programs have the greatest effect within the time provided. You may rest assured that every student will be treated as an individual with a focus on successful learning. Wright Rescue Solutions also maintains professional partnerships with other world-class specialty organizations, allowing us to facilitate solutions for those safety consulting needs not in our immediate area of expertise. See Services for a listing of our most common services for your review.

Rescue Standby Services

We provide high-end rescue teams to organizations requiring service during high-profile tower or confined space entries. This allows your personnel to work with confidence, knowing our highly skilled rescuers are “at the ready” to provide assistance in moments should the unthinkable occur. Wright Rescue Standby team members are both technically and medically trained to allow them to take care of difficult extractions while minimizing further harm to the patient. Our personnel are simply the best and WILL NOT let you down when you need us most.

Team Performance Consultation (Facility and Corporate Events)

Not only can we provide consultation and training services for specific organizations or facilities, Wright Rescue Solutions can provide your entire corporation with specialty services such as team performance evaluations of your internal or external Rescue Services or the development of rescue operational standards for your team. Wright Rescue can even develop and manage corporate rescue competitions for your teams if you so choose. Any way you look at it, we’ve got high-end team performance services cornered.

Equipment

In addition to consulting services, Wright Rescue Solutions can specify, justify, and help you to acquire the appropriate equipment to suit your needs. Making sure you have the RIGHT equipment to assure the safety of your personnel and the patients they care for is of particular importance to us. We are not interested in “selling” information and equipment for which you have no use. Rather, we promote systems that are simple and cost effective while providing the greatest profile for safe and successful rescues. We can facilitate the purchase of all equipment needed to meet this goal as we are dealers for every major manufacturer of rescue equipment in the US. See Equipment for more on the equipment we use.

Continuing Support

Just because the services have been rendered does not mean the support will end. In addition to providing detailed written student manuals and maintaining documentation of training for your personnel, will continue to support you by responding to your telephone or emailed questions for as long as you need us.

What Can We Do For You?

Proposals – Built Around Your Specifications

At your request, we will develop a written proposal based on your own specifications with regulatory compliance in mind. Simply tell us what type of services you are interested in and we will prompt you for the rest. The proposal will be designed to address your particular concerns in a cost-effective manner with the highest degree of safety and quality. Meeting your needs is what we do best!
