The NFPA 1670 Standard covers a wide variety of disciplines, including Structural Collapse, Rope Rescue, Water Search and Rescue (SAR), Trench & Excavation SAR, etc. The standard also establishes general guidelines for the AHJ in assessing hazards, identifying levels of operational capabilities, and establishing training documentation and response guidelines. Currently, RQ3's programs cover two of these disciplines:
water (which includes ice) and rope. We also offer training at 3 skill levels: awareness, operations, and technician; allowing the AHJ to customize training to meet their needs.
NFPA 1006 Standard defines the professional qualifications an individual must have in order to be considered a rescue technician. This standard requires the individual to undergo an assessment by a third party before they can be considered a technician. This assessment is available from RQ3 through the Professional Qualification Workshops.
As the AHJ, your group must determine the level of training each person on your team will receive and how each standard will be followed. No matter what your training goals, Rescue 3 can set up a program to fit your department's individual needs.
