Rescue Tech Ecuador

What Rescue Tech Ecuador does

Rescue Tech Ecuador is a privately held occupational safety, health, and emergency response professional services firm headquartered in Quito, Ecuador. Founded in 2015 as the Ecuadorian arm of Peru-based RESCUE TECH (itself founded in 2010), the company serves large industrial clients across five verticals: mining, oil and energy, manufacturing, technology, and firefighting services. Its service portfolio spans six core lines — industrial advisory and consulting, risk measurements (hygiene, noise, vibration, lighting, temperature), technical audits, occupational medical examinations (delivered via strategic partners), training and certification (over 100 courses delivered in-person, virtual, in-company, and blended), and personal protective equipment (PPE) sales. Mining-specific and firefighter-specific modules include HAZMAT first responder, confined space and height rescue, RIT teams, NFPA fire brigade training, and IPERC methodology.

The firm differentiates primarily through international credentialing: it is an associate member of the International Mines Rescue Body (IMRB), and its professionals serve as international judges at the International Mines Rescue Competition (IMRC) and Colombian Mining Rescue Olympics. Operations Manager Rayner Rojas Johanson is a two-time individual award winner (SSOTER Bronze 2022, PREVER International 2023). The firm also co-developed Ecuador's official COVID-19 return-to-work guide with the Ministry of Labour, IESS, and multiple professional medical and psychological associations, and developed the PER-COVID-19-Ecuador risk evaluation methodology.

Revenue is generated through professional services (consulting retainers, project-based audits, training programs billed per course) and hardware sales (certified PPE and rescue equipment). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the firm offers a free SST compliance diagnostic as a lead generation entry point for Ecuador-based prospects. With a staff of approximately 5 employees, the firm relies heavily on a credentialed core team and subcontracted instructors/medical partners to deliver engagements.
