b.Provided by untrained bystanders
c.Never needed if workers are careful
d.Available and capable of timely response, whether an on-site team or an arranged off-site service
Explanation
1926.1211 requires the employer to provide rescue capability — either a trained on-site team or an evaluated off-site service that can respond in a timely manner. Most confined-space deaths include would-be rescuers, so planned rescue is essential.
