The skill test for rescue teams should assess a variety of competencies and skills essential to dealing with emergency situations and carrying out rescue operations effectively. Test proposals covering various skills:
Yellow Level: Driving test of caving or climbing equipment (see tests below)
Levels from Orange to Gold:
Rescue Explorer Skill Test: "Emergency Operation"
Test Objective:
Assess rescue readiness and capability to address various emergency situations and conduct safe and efficient rescue operations.
Test Stations:
- Rapid Medical Assessment: (orange level)
- Simulation of victims with various injuries.
- The Explorer should perform a quick medical assessment and prioritize care based on the severity of the injuries.
- Height Rescue Technique: (orange level)
- Scenario of a person trapped at height.
- Use of POS techniques and security systems for rescue.
- Water Rescue Simulation: (Green Level)
- Person with drowning risk simulation at sea.
- Use of water rescue equipment, ropes and swimming techniques.
- Operation with vehicle accident: (Blue level)

Assessment:
Each test station will be evaluated based on response time, accuracy of actions taken, and overall safety of Explorer rescue operations. Points will be assigned to each station, and the Explorer will be graded based on their overall performance.
This comprehensive test provides a realistic scenario to evaluate rescuer capability skills in various emergency situations and ensure they are prepared to face complex challenges.
