29、hnical Rescuer Professional Qualifications2013 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1006, Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications, was pre-pared by the Technical Committee on Rescue Technician Professional Qualifications andreleased by the Technical Correlating Committee on Professional Qu
30、alifications. It was issuedby the Standards Council on November 27, 2012, with an effective date of December 17, 2012,and supersedes all previous editions.This edition of NFPA 1006 was approved as an American National Standard on Decem-ber 17, 2012.Origin and Development of NFPA 1006In 1994, the NFP
31、A Standards Council, after receipt of a request for the development of astandard for the professional qualifications of rescue technicians, approved the establishmentof a technical committee on Rescue Technician Professional Qualifications under the Profes-sional Qualifications project. The committe
32、e developed the first edition of NFPA 1006, Stan-dard forRescueTechnician Professional Qualifications, which established general job performancerequirements for a rescue technician as well as specific job performance requirements forspecial rescue operations. These performance requirements include r
33、ope rescue, surfacewater rescue, vehicle and machinery rescue, confined space rescue, structural collapse rescue,and trench rescue.In the 2003 edition of NFPA 1006, all of the chapters were reviewed and changes were made tocomply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Three
34、 new chapters wereadded to the document: Subterranean Rescue, Dive Rescue, and Wilderness Rescue.For the 2008 edition of NFPA 1006, the document was updated, and chapters for Swiftwa-ter Rescue, Ice Rescue, and Surf Rescue were added. The Subterranean Rescue chapter wasbroken into two chapters: one
35、on Mine and Tunnel Rescue and the other on Cave Rescue.Each chapter in the document was broken into two levels, Level I and Level II, and thedocument was retitled as Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications. Additionallanguage was added to clarify the use of this document.The 2013
36、edition of NFPA 1006 has been updated to recognize passive power sources andnew and emerging technologies as challenges that create hazards to the technical rescuer.The goals for meeting these challenges and hazards are as follows:To isolate and manage potentially harmful energy sources, so that all
37、 hazards are iden-tified, systems are managed, system use is evaluated, and hazards to rescue personnel areminimizedTo identify types of energy sources, isolate system methods, recognize specialized fea-tures, ensure availability of proper tools and equipment, and ensure that operationssupport the t
38、actical objectiveBecause of the new power sources in automobiles, Chapter 10 of the 2008 edition, Vehicleand Machinery Rescue, has been separated into two chapters, Chapter 10, Vehicle Rescue,and Chapter 19, Machinery Rescue.The simple-rope mechanical advantage system minimum travel distance for loa
39、ds hasbeen modified, based on the response area and the discipline-specific application. The dis-tance traveled should reflect a typical distance experienced by a rescuer operating the equip-ment and performing the task.Because of the nature and specific knowledge and skills required during a techni
40、cal rescueincident, language has been included in the administration chapter that mandates a rescuerto remain current and “demonstrate competency on an annual basis.”10061NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Mass
41、achusetts 02169.Prerequisite knowledge and skills found in Chapter 5 have been clarified based on discipline-specific job perfor-mance requirements found in Chapters 6 through 19. The intent is to address all applicable areas of Chapter 5 unlessotherwise exempted in the discipline-specific chapters.
42、 In other words, each JPR should be addressed in a mannerconsistent with the discipline.In Chapter 6, Rope Rescue, specific reference to highline system has been changed to operation of a rope system tobroaden the definition to include other methods for moving a load horizontally.Chapter 17, Mine an
43、d Tunnel Rescue, has been modified and restructured to include Level I and Level II so that itcomplements the other disciplines within the document.Annex material, including dive charts, air compression tables, and dive site diagrams, has been upgraded.
