All Rights Reserved.NFPA1081Standard forIndustrial Fire Brigade Member Professional Qualifications2012 EditionThis edition of NFPA 1081, Standard for Industrial Fire Brigade Member Professional Qualifications,was prepared by the Technical Commit
26、tee on Industrial Fire Brigades Professional Qualificationsand released by the Technical Correlating Committee on Professional Qualifications. It was issuedby the Standards Council on May 31, 2011, with an effective date of June 20, 2011, and supersedesall previous editions.This edition of NFPA 1081
27、 was approved as an American National Standard on June 20, 2011.Origin and Development of NFPA 1081In 1996, the NFPA Standards Council, after receipt of a request for the development of astandard for the professional qualifications of industrial fire brigade members, approved theestablishment of a T
28、echnical Committee on Industrial Fire Brigades Member ProfessionalQualifications under the Professional Qualifications project. The purpose of the documentwas to identify requirements for personnel who perform as members of organized industrialfire brigades at specific sites or facilities. An organi
29、zational meeting of the new committee washeld in October 1997 in Tampa, FL. The technical committee met a total of eight timesduring the development of this document.The development process was coordinated with other professional qualifications docu-ments and with the Technical Committee on Loss Pre
30、vention Procedures and Practices, thecommittee responsible for NFPA 600, Standard on Industrial Fire Brigades. To accommodate thesite-specific needs of industrial fire brigades at various locations, the committee developed acore set of job performance requirements, as well as site-specific requireme
31、nts for each de-fined level in the document. The intent is that the management of a facility utilizing therequirements of NFPA 1081 would identify those site-specific requirements applicable to thefacility and incorporate them into the requirements for their industrial fire brigade members.This depa
32、rture from the traditional style of other professional qualifications documents wasnecessary in order to track with the NFPA 600 and OSHA requirements in 29 CFR 1910.156for fire brigades.The first edition of NFPA 1081, Standard for Industrial Fire Brigade Member Professional Quali-fications, adopted
33、 at the May 2001 meeting of the National Fire Protection Association, estab-lished job performance requirements for the levels of industrial fire brigade operations de-fined in NFPA 600: Incipient, Advanced Exterior, and Interior Structural. Requirements forthe position of Fire Brigade Leader were a
34、lso provided in the document.The 2007 edition of NFPA 1081 was a complete revision of the document and includededitorial changes to JPRs, Requisite Knowledge and Requisite Skills statements, and theirassociated Annex A statements. New material was also added for “site-specific requirements.”In the 2
35、012 edition of NFPA 1081, the committee has added time requirements of 2 min-utes (120 seconds) to Chapters 6 and 7 that relate to the donning and doffing of thermalprotective clothing and donning and activation of SCBA and PASS devices. In addition, asection has been added that addresses the limits
36、 and responsibilities of industrial fire brigademembers in order to be consistent with NFPA 600, Standard on Industrial Fire Brigades. Thecommittee has also added a chapter to address the qualifications that support memberswould provide to the industrial fire brigade.10811NFPA and National Fire Prot
