NFPA 1006 Confined Space Rescue Technician

This course will prepare responders to be entry rescue team members. The course will begin with a thorough review of permit required confined spaces, common configurations and hazards along with atmospheric monitoring, ventilation techniques and lock-out tag-out. This course will progress from the NFPA Operations level, which designates skills for non-IDLH environments and rescuing from areas immediately visibly from the entry point, then move to the Technician level JPR’s. These skills focus on the use of breathing apparatus and supplied air systems along with rescuing from difficult areas within the confined space. This course will also introduce the use of rescue tripods such as the Arizona Vortex and SMC Teradaptor and the unique applications of these high directional anchors.
