Full Description

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., 2001)
