Specific competences of employees are important for rescue services. This means that workers who have a certain set of competences including knowledge, abilities, experience, attitudes and the worker’s readiness to act in conditions of high stress and risk will be searched for. The goal of the paper is to study opinions of young generation who are not associated with rescue services and who do not see their career in the area about the importance of competences necessary to perform the work of a “rescue worker”.
In 2016, there were 80 accidents, seven fatalities and 97 injured persons for each 1,000 kilometres of public roads on average, while 206 accidents (2.5 times more), 36 fatalities (five times more) and 296 injured persons (three times more) – for each 1,000 kilometres of motorways and dual carriageways. The bigger number of accidents and their casualties on motorways and carriageways should be attributed, primarily, to more intense traffic on this type of roads. What is more, on these roads there are frequently accidents in which many persons and vehicles are affected. Therefore, the network of fast roads requires an effective rescue system necessary to provide assistance to victims and persons suffering from accidents.
