Applicant's Declaration
I authorize the Chatham Emergency Squad to conduct driving-record checks and background checks before being accepted to membership and at any time while I am a member. I understand that the findings of those checks will be factors in determining acceptance into and continuance of membership.
I have reviewed the CES Medical Form and attest to all qualifications as stated. I am aware that certain physical and psychological demands will be made of me and I attest to my ability to fulfill such demands. My physician will complete and sign the CES Medical Form confirming my physical and psychological fitness to function as a New Jersey EMT. In addition to the qualifications listed on the CES Medical Form, I am aware that I must be able to always:
- Use good judgment and remain calm in high-stress situations including illness and injuries that could include heavy bleeding, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other medical emergencies,
- Effectively communicate in the English language with co-workers, patients, police, members of the public, and medical personnel,
- Function well in environmentally extreme conditions including heat, cold, darkness, and confined physical spaces.
