ROCO COURSES

Roco's training programs will assist rescuers and their employers in staying updated, prepared and compliant. But it's not just about standards. For more than 28 years, Roco has continued to advance its training methods in order to produce the most proficient rescuers possible.

In addition to keeping emergency responders updated on the latest regulations, our rescue programs are a careful mix of best-known practices, experienced instructors and an open mind to innovative techniques and equipment. Roco's confined space and rope rescue certification program, which is based on the guidelines of NFPA 1006 (a professional qualifications national consensus standard), provides documentation of skills proficiency as required by OSHA's 1910.146 Permit-Required Confined Space regulation.

Revised and expanded standards:

NFPA 1006 Professional Qualifications Standard for Rescue Technicians (pending 2007 edition) includes additional skills for rescue technicians such as: acting as a litter tender for low angle rescue; ascending a fixed rope 20 ft; functioning as a litter tender in a high angle lowering or hauling system; and directing a team in the removal of a suspended victim in a high-angle environment.
ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Standard has been expanded. One of the top-four causes of on-the-job fatalities are fall hazards. In 2007, The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) announced approval of its new Z359 Fall Arrest Code. Two sections of the code directly affect hands-on training for workers: Z359.2 Minimum Requirements for a Comprehensive Managed Fall Protection Program and Z359.4 Safety Requirements for Assisted-Rescue and Self-Rescue Systems, Subsystems and Components.

FAST TRACK 80 Confined Space Certification

COMBINED RESCUE I-PLUS & RESCUE TECH II

Fast-Track 80 is designed specifically for industrial rescue teams and offers Roco Rescue Tech II-Confined Space Rescue Certification in only 80 hours.

The course begins with core skills and concludes with certification testing based on the skill requirements of NFPA 1006 & 1670 for Confined Space Rescue. This certification testing to a national consensus standard (such as NFPA) is an excellent means of documenting individual skills proficiency in accordance with OSHA 1910.146.

Fast-Track 80 is an accelerated 80-hour program that will quickly advance students to more complex confined space rescue scenarios along with elevated (high angle) operations. Response capabilities will be enhanced by extensive hands-on teaching stations and realistic problem-solving exercises, including on-air, simulated IDLH scenarios.

Roco Certification testing includes individual skills proficiency, scenario-based performance evaluation and written exam. This certification is valid for two years and can be renewed by successfully completing our Recertification program.

NOTE: Fast-Track 80 completes the Confined Space Rescue skill requirements of NFPA 1006 (Level II) and NFPA 1670 (Technician Level). It also meets the Rope Rescue skill requirements of NFPA 1006 & 1670 with the exception of select skills such as rope ascension, high-lines and knot passing, which are offered in our Rescue Tech III or Fast-Track 120 programs.
