NFPA 1001 Standardfor FireFighterProfessionalQualifications 2013Edition This edition of NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Fighter Professional Qualificat
26、ions and released by the Technical Correlating Committee on Professional Qualifications. It was issued by the Stan- dards Council on May 29, 2012, with an effective date of June 18, 2012, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 1001 was approved as an American National Standard on
27、 June 18, 2012. OriginandDevelopmentofNFPA1001 In 1971, the Joint Council of National Fire Service Organizations (JCNFSO) created the National Professional Qualifications Board (NPQB) for the fire service to facilitate the devel- opment of nationally applicable performance standards for uniformed fi
28、re service personnel. On December 14, 1972, the Board established four technical committees to develop those standards using the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards-making system. The initial committees addressed the following career areas: fire fighter, fire officer, fire service
29、instructor, and fire inspector and investigator. The Committee on Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications met through 1973 and 1974, producing the first edition of this document. The first edition of NFPA 1001 was adopted by the Association in November of 1974. Subsequent to the adoption of the ini
30、tial edition, the committee has met regularly to revise and update the standard. Additional editions were adopted and issued by the NFPA under the auspices of the NPQB in 1981 and 1987. The original concept of the professional qualification standards as directed by the JCNFSO and the NPQB was to dev
31、elop an interrelated set of performance standards specifically for the fire service. The various levels of achievement in the standards were to build on each other within a strictly defined career ladder. In the late 1980s, revisions of the standards recognized that the documents should stand on the
32、ir own merit in terms of job performance requirements (JPRs) for a given field. Accordingly, the strict career-ladder concept was abandoned, except for the progres- sion from fire fighter to fire officer. The later revisions, therefore, facilitated the use of the docu- ments by other than the unifor
33、med fire services. In 1990, responsibility for the appointment of professional qualifications committees and the development of the professional qualifications standards were assumed by the NFPA. The Correlating Committee on Professional Qualifications was appointed by the NFPA Standards Council in
34、1990 and assumed the responsibility for coordinating the requirements of all of the Professional Qualifications documents. For the 1997 edition, NFPA 1001 was converted to the JPR format to be consistent with the other standards in the Professional Qualifications Project. Each JPR consists of the ta
35、sk to be performed; the tools, equipment, or materials that must be provided to successfully complete the task; evaluation parameters and/or performance outcomes; and lists of requisite knowl- edge and skills one must have to be able to perform the task. More information about JPRs can be found in A
36、nnex B. The intent of the technical committee was to develop clear and concise JPRs that can be used to determine that an individual, when measured to the standard, possesses the skills and knowledge to perform as a fire fighter. The committee further contends that these JPRs can be used in any fire
37、 department in any city, town, or private organization throughout North America. 10011 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169.In the 2002 edition of this document, the technical committee made s
38、everal small additions to the standard. The committee also made changes in the document to bring it into conformance with theManualofStyleforNFPATechnical Committee Documents. In the 2008 edition of this document, a complete revision was done. The changes included the following: a skills maintenance
39、 requirement was added, specific knot-tying requirements were deleted and replaced with those required by the authority having jurisdiction, the inspection and public education requirements were moved from Chapter 5 to Chapter 6, and the JPR on flow testing of fire hydrants was deleted from Chapter
40、6. For the 2012 edition of NFPA 1001, the technical committee made several changes, including the use of essential job tasks in consideration for the medical requirement referenced in NFPA 1582, Standard on Comprehensive Occupa- tional Medical Program for Fire Departments. The one-minute time compon
41、ent for donning personal protective clothing has also been removed as the technical committee believe it is more important to perform the procedure correctly, rather than quickly, to keep the person safe. NFPA 1001 also addresses the activation of an emergency call for assistance so that fire fighte
42、rs can be located and rescued. And the termlifesafetyinitiatives replacesprevention in Fire Fighter II to bring attention to the greater issue of community risk reduction.
