Ensure employee safety during USAR operations!
USAR operations in urban and other non-wilderness locations
are complex incidents requiring specially trained personnel and
special equipment to complete the mission.
NFPA 1951 establishes minimum requirements for
garments, head protection, gloves, and footwear, for fire and
emergency services personnel operating at technical rescue
incidents involving building or structural collapse,
vehicle/person extrication, confined space entry, trench/cave-in
rescue, rope rescue, and similar incidents.
The requirements of the standard address the design,
performance, testing, and certification of these ensembles and
ensemble elements to protect against physical, environmental,
thermal, chemical splash, and blood-borne hazards associated
with USAR operations. Approx. 56 pp.
