Manhole Watch

During a turnaround, shutdown, maintenance shutdown, projects, ad hoc and regular work, RBC’s Manhole Watch (Outside Watch) ensures that operations are conducted safely. The Manhole Watch checks that all safety requirements are met and oversees the safety of people in the confined space.

RBC’s manhole watch has the necessary training, experience and is often advised together with a Rescue Team during work with safety risks. Within RBC, we have highly experienced and certified Rescue Teams.
