What must all rescue team members be qualified to perform?

All rescue team members must be qualified to perform Basic First Aid and CPR because these skills are fundamental in emergency response situations. Each team member may encounter victims who require immediate medical attention, and having the ability to assess and provide care can significantly impact the outcomes for those in need. Basic First Aid and CPR are essential for stabilizing patients before advanced medical professionals arrive on the scene.

While advanced medical procedures, heavy equipment operation, and crisis negotiation techniques may be important for certain specialized roles within the team or specific circumstances, they are not universally required for all team members. Basic First Aid and CPR ensure that every team member can contribute to patient safety and care effectively during a rescue operation.
