1、 Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA1006 Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications 2013 Edition Reference: 7.1, 8.1, 9.1, 10.1, 16.1, 17.1.1, 18.1, and A.6.1.2 TIA 13-1 (SC 13-10-8/TIA Log #1103) Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards,
2、 the National Fire Protection Association has issued the following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 1006, Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications, 2013 edition. The TIA was processed by the Technical Committee on Rescue Technician Professional Qualification and the Correlating
3、Committee on Professional Qualifications, and was issued by the Standards Council on October 22, 2013, with an effective date of November 11, 2013. A Tentative Interim Amendment is tentative because it has not been processed through the entire standards-making procedures. It is interim because it is
4、 effective only between editions of the standard. A TIA automatically becomes a public input of the proponent for the next edition of the standard; as such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the standards-making process. 1. Revise subsections 7.1, 8.1, 9.1, 10.1, 16.1, 17.1.1 and 18.1 t

10、ation in cave rescue. 2. Revise A.6.1.2 to read as follows: A.6.1.2 The specified minimum travel distance will vary based on the response area and the discipline-specific application. The distance traveled should accurately depict the typical distance that would be experienced by the person performi
11、ng the skill, and the operational components of the entire system should be fully utilized (i.e., commands, progress capture, descent control). For example, an appropriate minimum travel distance for a technical rescuer in the urban/industrial environment for a high-angle lowering operation might be
12、 10 ft to 20 ft (3.05 m to 6.1 m) while the minimum for the wilderness/cave environment might be considerably more at 30 ft to 50 ft (9.15 m to 15.25 m).
