NFPA 1006: Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications establishes the minimum job performance requirements necessary for fire service and other emergency response personnel who perform technical rescue operations. Ensure that all your rescue technicians are up to the task with latest job criteria with the 2008 NFPA 1006, which covers such topics as rope rescue, surface water rescue, vehicle and machinery rescue, confined space rescue, structural collapse rescue, subterranean rescue, dive rescue, wilderness rescue, and trench rescue.

Increase effectiveness and mitigate risks in an inherently dangerous occupation.

Among the significant changes in the expanded 2008 edition are:

• Water chapters have been organized by type of environment – surface, swift, dive, ice, and surf
  
• Division of the subterranean chapter into two chapters--Mines & Tunnels and Caves
  
• Each chapter has been split into two levels--Level I and Level II.
