Which of the following is a common physical hazard during an earthquake?
Tornado winds
Falling debris
Electrical shock
Flooding
Falling debris is a common hazard during earthquakes due to collapsing structures. It can cause serious injuries if individuals are struck by objects dislodged by tremors.
After hearing a building fire alarm, what is the first action you should take?
Grab personal belongings
Wait for instructions at your desk
Evacuate using nearest safe exit
Call family
Evacuating via the nearest safe exit ensures the quickest removal from danger. Delaying evacuation to gather belongings or wait can increase risk during a fire.
What is the correct immediate action for treating a minor cut?
Suture the wound immediately
Apply ice on wound
Leave it open to air
Clean the wound and apply a sterile bandage
Cleaning the wound and applying a sterile bandage helps prevent infection and controls minor bleeding. Immediate suturing or leaving it open could worsen the injury or delay healing.
What is the primary use of a Class A fire extinguisher?
Flammable liquids
Ordinary combustible materials like wood and paper
Electrical fires
Cooking oils and fats
Class A fire extinguishers are designed to put out fires involving ordinary combustible materials like wood and paper. Using them on electrical or grease fires can be ineffective or dangerous.
Which method is most effective for alerting people in a small indoor area about an immediate hazard?
Posting a notice on a bulletin board
Sending an email
Waiting for a scheduled meeting
Verbally shouting the warning
Verbally alerting people offers immediate, direct communication in a small indoor area. Methods like email or notices are too slow to warn of imminent danger.
What hazard classification label indicates a material is toxic and may cause serious health effects?
Class 6: Toxic substances
Class 3: Flammable liquids
Class 1: Explosives
Class 9: Miscellaneous
Class 6 labels indicate toxic substances that can cause serious health effects if inhaled or ingested. Other classes cover different types of hazards like flammability or explosives.
If the primary evacuation route is blocked by smoke, what should you do?
Use the nearest secondary exit
Try to clear the smoke with a fire extinguisher
Return to your office
Wait for fire department at the block
Using a secondary exit ensures safe egress if the primary route is compromised. Waiting or trying to clear smoke without proper equipment increases personal risk.
When applying a tourniquet for severe bleeding, where should it be placed?
On the nearest joint
Directly over the wound
Distal to the wound, away from the heart
Proximal to the wound, between the wound and the heart
Placing a tourniquet proximal to the wound between the injury and the heart effectively stops arterial blood flow to control bleeding. Placing it directly over the wound or distal is less effective and can cause additional damage.
Which type of fire extinguisher is suitable for an electrical fire?
Class A
Class K
Class C
Class B
Class C extinguishers are specifically rated for electrical fires and contain non-conductive extinguishing agents. Using other classes on electrical fires risks shock or equipment damage.
In two-way radio communications during an emergency, what does "10-4" typically mean?
Message received and understood
Need medical assistance
Stop transmission
Negative response
In many radio communication protocols, "10-4" signifies that a message was received and understood. It is widely used to confirm receipt without additional words.
What is the first step in developing an incident action plan?
Establish incident objectives
Assign cleanup tasks
Conduct after-action review
Request additional resources
Establishing incident objectives is the initial step in creating an incident action plan. Objectives guide the overall response strategy before assigning resources or tasks.
Which practice helps prevent slip and trip hazards in a workplace?
Ignoring uneven surfaces
Cleaning up spills immediately
Leaving cables uncoiled
Using poorly fitted footwear
Cleaning up spills immediately removes the primary cause of slip hazards. Practices like leaving cables uncoiled or ignoring uneven surfaces increase trip risks.
What should evacuees do after reaching an outdoor assembly point?
Re-enter the building to retrieve belongings
Report to the designated leader for headcount
Wait inside cars
Leave immediately for personal errands
Reporting to the designated leader at the assembly point allows for an accurate headcount and accountability. Leaving or re-entering the building can put individuals at further risk.
What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR?
5:1
10:1
30:2
15:2
The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. This ratio balances chest compressions with ventilation for effective circulation.
Which step is correct when using an AED on an unconscious adult?
Turn on the AED and follow voice prompts
Continue chest compressions without pads
Place pads directly over the heart
Deliver a shock without analyzing rhythm
An AED must be turned on and the user should follow voice prompts to ensure safe and proper use. Skipping rhythm analysis or neglecting to attach pads can render the device ineffective.
What tool is best used to conduct a hazard vulnerability analysis for emergency planning?
Pie chart
Gantt chart
Risk matrix
SWOT analysis
A risk matrix helps responders evaluate the likelihood and impact of hazards to prioritize planning. It provides a structured approach to assess vulnerabilities and allocate resources effectively.
During a dynamic evacuation, if an exit path becomes compromised, what is the next best action?
Send evacuees back inside
Maintain the original plan regardless
Halt the entire evacuation
Re-route evacuees to an alternate safe path
Re-routing evacuees to a safe alternate path maintains the flow of people away from danger. Stopping or ignoring changes in conditions can lead to confusion and increased risk.
A victim shows signs of smoke inhalation. Which action should responders take first?
Apply a tourniquet
Move them to fresh air and assess breathing
Give them water
Leave them to cool down in place
Moving the victim to fresh air addresses respiratory distress from smoke inhalation immediately. Once in a safe environment, responders can assess breathing and administer further care.
In the Incident Command System, what structure ensures coordination among multiple agencies?
Staging area
Incident base camp
Unified command
Single resource management
Unified command in the Incident Command System allows multiple agencies to collaborate under a shared set of objectives. It streamlines decision-making and resource allocation during complex incidents.
Which component is essential in an incident response plan for coordinating multi-agency resources?
Personal contact lists only
Separate action plans per agency with no integration
Communication protocols and roles
Detailed floor plans only
Communication protocols and clearly defined roles are essential for coordinating multiple agencies during a response. Without integration, agencies may duplicate efforts or miss critical actions.
