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
