Roco Rescue Essentials™ is the foundational class for urban and industrial technical rescuers. Firefighters in big city fire departments, workers dedicated to providing confined space rescue in industrial plants, offshore oil platform personnel as well as suburban and volunteer firefighters will be challenged by the high-performance curriculum. Roco’s Rescue Essentials is a hands-on serious approach to a serious subject preparing rescuers who respond to emergencies ranging from the depths of a confined space to the heights of an elevated structure or industrial platform.

Rescuers will spend most of the class in the field with on-rope time optimized every day. Personal rope skills, knot craft, mechanical advantage and patient packaging will be emphasized using gear picked by our experienced instructor cadre from the best manufacturers in the world. Participants will also perform realistic rescues of suspended workers and workers trapped in confined spaces.

Rescue Essentials™ open-enrollment courses take place at the Roco Training Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For courses conducted at the Roco Training Center (or as the training location permits), participants will practice rescue operations from all six (6) confined space types. Rescue operations from simulated IDLH atmospheres requiring the use of breathing air (SCBA) will also be included. These realistic scenarios can be used to document the minimum annual practice requirements required by OSHA and NFPA.

Compliance Note: OSHA 1910.146 Permit Required Confined Space regulation requires all rescue team members to practice making permit space rescues at least once every 12 months from actual or representative confined spaces. OSHA has approved Roco’s Types Chart, which classifies these representative spaces into six (6) confined space types for rescue planning and practice purposes. NFPA 1006 requires individual rescuers to demonstrate rescue competency on an annual basis, and NFPA 1670 states that rescue teams must undergo an annual performance evaluation.
