<strong>1153</strong> – NFPA <strong>Fire</strong>fighter I <strong>Performance</strong> <strong>Task</strong><br />
Evaluation Sheet 7-3<br />
Objective : Tie the single overhand knot. (NFPA ® 1001, 5.1.2)<br />
Student Name: Date:<br />
Directions<br />
For this skills evaluation checklist, students will tie the single overhand knot. As an added measure of<br />
safety, it is recommended that an overhand safety knot be used whenever tying any type of knot. The<br />
simple yet effective overhand safety eliminates the danger of the working end of the rope slipping back<br />
through the knot, thus causing the knot to fail.<br />
• Piece of rope (for example, 6-foot to 20-<br />
foot [1.8 m to 6 m] length of ½-inch [13<br />
mm] rope)<br />
