Rescue One

What Rescue One does

Rescue One (legal entity Rescue-1 Ltd.) is an Israeli specialized rescue, emergency response, and industrial safety services company headquartered at the Wingate Institute in Netanya. Founded in 2008 by climbers with backgrounds in rescue and engineering, the company delivers three integrated service lines: professional training programs, search-and-rescue operations (both on-site industrial standby and international deployment), and complex technical project execution involving rope access, scaffolding, confined-space operations, and catalyst handling. Its operational base is the Wingate training complex, which includes classrooms, firefighter simulators, smoke rooms, a height training room (Gaba), collapse-site modules, and dedicated confined-space and trench training areas.

The company serves enterprise clients across energy (Energean, Chevron Tamar rig), industrial manufacturing (Intel Kiryat Gat, GE), chemicals and gas transportation (Rinchem, Dead Sea Factories/ICL), construction and infrastructure, elevator services (KONE), technology (Apple floor warden training), and tactical/defense organizations (IDF, Israel Police, Prison Service, Fire and Rescue Services). Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements — training courses with government-issued certifications, on-site 24/7 standby rescue teams, and project-based technical work — all sold through direct enterprise field sales and multi-year relationship contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Rescue One holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and is recognized as a training institution by five Israeli government ministries plus the Shipping and Ports Authority, with OPITO-standard offshore emergency training (BOSIET). It operates a 24/7 International Emergency Desk (R.O.G.) and rapid-deployment GO TEAM for international SAR missions worldwide, including a differentiated capability that pairs operational field rescuers with an in-house psychiatrist to extract mental-health and substance-abuse victims abroad. The company is privately held by co-founders Nadav Kalifa (CEO) and Yochai Lilior (Head of R&D), with no disclosed external funding.

• Stork Technical Services: Stork (now part of A.P. Møller Solutions) provides industrial services including rope access, confined space entry, shutdowns, and integrity maintenance to oil & gas and industrial clients. Comparable on industrial rope access and confined space project execution; broader service portfolio than Rescue One.
• Survitec Group: Survitec is a UK-based provider of marine safety, offshore survival, fire protection, and emergency response equipment and services. Comparable on offshore training (BOSIET/OPITO-aligned) and offshore survival services; broader product and equipment portfolio than Rescue One.

Emerging players

Others

• Petzl: Petzl is a French manufacturer of technical equipment for verticality, rope access, and rescue. Adjacent enabler: Rescue One uses Petzl-class equipment across its rope access, confined space, and high-angle rescue operations; not a competitor but a tooling ecosystem player.
