In preparing our course curriculum for 2011, we wanted to offer two options or “compliance paths” based on the specific needs of our customers – one with certification testing and one without. We also know that compliance is a critical focus for industrial customers who must walk the tightrope of complying with numerous federal regulations. Our goal is to make sure your rescue team is prepared and equipped to perform safely and effectively when the call comes in.įollowing the guidelines of NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standards is and has been a big focus for municipal agencies for decades and these standards, specifically NFPA 1006, provide an excellent tool for documenting required individual rescuer skills. When it’s all on the line, you’ve got to be ready. In our Training Paths Chart, we have attempted to clearly define a “path to compliance” whether you choose certification or not. It basically revolves around the bottom line of… “Is your rescue service trained and equipped to respond in a safe and effective manner to the applicable kinds (types) of confined spaces – and have they met the minimum annual practice requirements?” But, then again, how do you prove proficiency? That’s where certification to a national consensus standard by a qualified third party can make a big difference in validating rescue effectiveness and thus documenting compliance. Oftentimes Safety Supervisors or Emergency Response Coordinators will ask… “Does OSHA require Rescue Technician certification for industrial rescuers?” While there are many benefits to certification to a national consensus standard, such as NFPA, OSHA’s Confined Space regulation is performance-based and focuses on a timely and capable rescue response. Does OSHA require Rescue Technician certification for industrial rescuers? You may print this screen or download a pdf to share with colleagues.
