NFPA 1670 applies to technical rescue procedures of the department, while NFPA 1006 is geared more to the skill level of the individual technician.

Failure of a technical rescue operation is almost always caused by human error, which in most cases, can be traced to the lack of documented quality training. This is the true spirit in which NFPA 1670 and 1006 were published.

Extensive theory and application of elevated anchors are used throughout this Seminar.

This Seminar also incorporates several techniques for controlled changes in the fall line through the use of various horizontal systems. Also included is extensive study and practice of highline techniques.

Below are a few more examples of some of the techniques that the participant can expect to learn in this Seminar.
