Title: Gloves, Rescue and Recovery, Protective, Technical Rescue Incidents, NFPA 1951


Last Updated: 7/8/2022 1:53:21 PM

Previous SEL Number: 01UR-01-GLOV

Description: Rescue and recovery protective ensemble gloves (certified as compliant with NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1951).

ImportantFeatures: NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1951-compliant gloves have a rugged exterior and a liner that provides protection against liquids. The gloves are designed to protect against physical hazards, liquid chemicals and potentially infectious blood/body fluids, and flame and heat contact; however, the gloves offer only limited insulation against high heat sources. Gloves are evaluated for physical hazard resistance, flame and heat resistance, thermal insulation, and penetration resistance to liquid chemicals and bloodborne pathogens. Gloves may use a variety of different construction techniques and materials.

Operating Considerations: This equipment is not certified to the requirements of NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1971, and is therefore not to be used for firefighting.

NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1951 covers protective clothing and equipment used in technical rescue incidents that include victim search, rescue, body recovery, and site stabilization during operations, such as building/structural collapse, vehicle/person extrication, confined space entry, trench/cave-in rescue, and rope rescue. Three types of ensembles are specified: utility ensembles for operations where liquid hazards are not expected; rescue and recovery ensembles for operations involving liquid hazards; and CBRN
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear
ensembles that offer limited protection for first responders from vapor and liquid CBRN
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear
hazards.

Gloves should be selected to provide a balance of physical, liquid, and heat protection versus hand function for dexterity, grip, and tactility. Use considerations are provided in OSHA Title 29 CFR
Code of Federal Regulations
Section 1910.132 and NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program.
