ROCO COURSES - New & Improved for 2008!

With new and revised standards on the horizon, Roco's 2008 training programs will assist rescuers and their employers in staying updated, prepared and compliant. But it's not just about standards. For more than 25 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 programs are a careful mix of best-known practices, experienced instructors and an open mind to innovative techniques and equipment. Roco's 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.
