The selection of safety equipment should consider the specific hazards, operational conditions, and the likelihood of emergency or fire escalation.  In general, you will need to evaluate the nature of the incident, the site conditions, the complexity of your recovery, and the OH&S safety regulations.

The evaluation may include for example:

• Assessing whether the recovery involves an active fire, thermal runaway, chemical spills, or electrical hazards;
• Evaluating environmental factors such as terrain stability, proximity to water sources, or confined spaces;
• Considering the potential for runoff or contamination impacting nearby areas;
• Ensuring that the selected equipment meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.
