NFPA 1006
• NFPA 1006 is for an individual to get certified in
his/her competencies in any or all of the 13
technical rescue disciplines if they so desire
• Each one of the regional team members have the
opportunity to apply for certification. It is up to
the Authority Having Jurisdiction how
certification will be referenced for the individual

NFPA 1006
• A team member can take the DFS classes for
practical portion and then sit for the written test
at a later time
• Or they can challenge the exam by taking the
written and then testing for the practical portion
• Currently certification is offered for Rope,
Confined Space, and Trench with more to be
offered in the future

NFPA Operational Levels
(1) Awareness Level
This level represents the minimum capability of
organizations that provide response to technical
search and rescue incidents.
This level can involve search, rescue, and recovery
operations. Members of a team at this level are
generally not considered rescuers.

![Page 14: Technical Rescue Awareness - Mass.Gov](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062317/586cdae01a28ab114f8b9646/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NFPA Operational Levels Cont’d
(2) Operations Level This level represents the capability of
organizations to respond to technical search and rescue incidents and to identify hazards, use equipment, and apply limited techniques specified in this standard to support and participate in technical search and rescue incidents.
This level can involve search, rescue, and recovery operations, but usually operations are carried out under
the supervision of technician-level personnel.

(3) Technician Level
This level represents the capability of organizations to respond to technical search and rescue incidents and to identify hazards, use equipment, and apply advanced techniques specified in this standard necessary to coordinate, perform, and supervise technical search and rescue incidents.
A technician is a person who knows the subject matter thoroughly and can problem solve. Achieved through
experience, and/or through extensive, repetitive training.
