Anyone who is properly trained or not properly trained for cardiopulmonary resuscitation can perform CPR when necessary. CPR is utilized in a life-and-death situation.
A person is mandated to preform CPR if it is a part of their job responsibility (whether paid or volunteer and they are on the job.

But, I carry a breathing barrier in my car, and I would perform CPR on someone if needed.
