Brief Description: To provide a Confined Space Rescuer Technician knowledge/skills to meet the min. JPRs in NFPA 1670.

Full Description: The Confined Space Rescue Technician course has been designed in accordance with the NFPA 1670 Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents as well as NFPA 1006 Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications. The goal of this course is to prepare responders to operate as a local member of a team to respond to an event requiring statewide response that has resulted in the need for a permit required confined space rescue at the Technician level. This class reviews the federal and state regulations for confined space, high angle, and hazardous materials incidents, the use of specialized equipment for atmospheric monitoring, and commercial and rescuer constructed retrieval systems. This course includes simulated rescue evolutions requiring a mixture of all three disciplines, challenging the responder to deal with rescuing the rescuer in a contaminated atmosphere. Special emphasis is given to rescuer safety, tactical scene management, patient care, decontamination, and the construction and operation of retrieval systems.

Students shall understand and follow all instructions pertaining to operational safety, as stated by instructors or as written in course materials. Instructors and students shall be mindful of safety at all times. Conduct judged to be unsafe shall be grounds for dismissal from the course.
