Standard for Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualifications
Also Known As:
The NFPA 1006-2021 standard is a comprehensive resource for fire service and other emergency response personnel involved in technical rescue operations. The standard sets out job performance requirements for different levels of rescue personnel, including awareness level, operations level, and technician level, across various land, air, and water rescue scenarios.
The 2021 edition of the standard has been revised to make the requirements easier to understand and apply, and to incorporate the latest technologies and industry changes. It aligns with NFPA 1670, a related standard on operations and training for technical search and rescue incidents, and other relevant criteria. The document covers a wide range of rescue disciplines, such as rope, tower, vehicle, mine and tunnel, wilderness search, helicopter, surf, and dive operations.
Notable changes in the standard include adjustments to align requirements with other criteria, expanded information on vehicle rescue with a new chapter on common passenger vehicles, renaming of "vehicle rescue" to "heavy vehicle rescue" to reflect differences between the two types of vehicles, and revisions throughout the document to enhance clarity and incorporate accepted practices.
The NFPA 1006-2021 standard is essential for individuals and organizations involved in responding to incidents involving fire, explosion, law enforcement, emergency medical services, and other rescues.
