NFPA 1006 Standard for Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualications 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 1006, Standard for Technical Rescue Professional Qu
12、alications , was prepared by the Technical Committee on Rescue Technician Professional Qualications and released by the Correlating Committee on Professional Qualications. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 11, 2016, with an effective date of December 1, 2016, and supersedes all prev
13、ious editions. This edition of NFPA 1006 was approved as an American National Standard on December 1, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 1006 In 1994, the NFPA Standards Council, after receipt of a request for the development of a standard for the professional qualications of rescue technicians, a
14、pproved the establishment of a technical committee on Rescue Technician Professional Qualications under the Professional Qualications project. The committee developed the rst edition of NFPA 1006, Standard for Rescue Technician Professional Qualications , which established general job performance re
15、quirements (JPRs) for a rescue technician as well as specic job performance requirements for special rescue operations. These performance requirements included rope rescue, surface water rescue, vehicle and machinery rescue, conned space rescue, structural collapse rescue, and trench rescue. For the
16、 2003 edition of NFPA 1006, all the chapters were reviewed, and changes were made to comply with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents. Three new chapters were added to the document: Subterranean Rescue, Dive Rescue, and Wilderness Rescue. For the 2008 edition of NFPA 1006, the
17、document was updated, and chapters for Swiftwater Rescue, Ice Rescue, and Surf Rescue were added. The Subterranean Rescue chapter was broken into two chapters: one 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, a
18、nd the document was retitled as Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualications . Additional language was added to clarify the use of the standard. The 2013 edition of NFPA 1006 was updated to recognize passive power sources and new and emerging technologies as challenges that create hazard
19、s to the technical rescuer. The goals for meeting these challenges and hazards were as follows: (1) To isolate and manage potentially harmful energy sources, so that all hazards are identied, systems are managed, system use is evaluated, and hazards to rescue personnel are minimized minimized (2) To
20、 identify types of energy sources, isolate system methods, recognize specialized features, ensure availability of proper tools and equipment, and ensure that operations support the tactical objective Because of the new power sources in automobiles, Chapter 10 of the 2008 edition, Vehicle and Machine
21、ry Rescue, was separated into two chapters: Chapter 10, Vehicle Rescue, and Chapter 19, Machinery Rescue. The simple-rope mechanical advantage system minimum travel distance for loads was modied, based on the response area and the discipline-specic application. The distance traveled should reect a t
22、ypical distance experienced by a rescuer operating the equipment and performing the task. Because of the nature and specic knowledge and skills required during a technical rescue incident, language was included in Chapter 1, Administration, that mandates a rescuer to remain current and “demonstrate
23、competency on an annual basis.”TECHNICAL RESCUE PERSONNEL PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS 1006-2 2017 Edition The prerequisite knowledge and skills found in Chapter 5 were claried based on discipline-specic job performance requirements found in Chapters 6 through 19. The intent was to address all applic
24、able areas of Chapter 5 unless otherwise exempted in the discipline-specic chapters. In other words, each JPR should be addressed in a manner consistent with the discipline. In Chapter 6, Rope Rescue, specic reference to highline system was changed to operation of a rope system to broaden the deniti
25、on to include other methods for moving a load horizontally. Chapter 17, Mine and Tunnel Rescue, was modied and restructured to include Level I and Level II so that it complements the other disciplines within the document. Annex material, including dive charts, air compression tables, and dive site d
26、iagrams, was upgraded. Annex E, Marking Systems, was updated to reect similar references found in NFPA 1670, Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents. In the 2017 edition, rescuer training levels have been changed from Level I and II to Awareness, Operations, and
27、 Technician, which better align with NFPA 1670. JPRs have been rened for all positions within the scope of the standard. Chapters on Floodwater, Animal, Tower, Helicopter, and Watercraft Rescue have been added. Denitions have been updated and several added to create consistency with NFPA 1670. In ad
28、dition, the title of the standard has been revised to be inclusive of all personnel associated with technical rescue.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 1006-3 2017 Edition Correlating Committee on Professional Qualications William E.
