QUESTION 1 Distinguish which of the following states a more desirable employee evacuation accountability system, and correctly states why it is more desirable. O A. Perform a simple headcount and compare the count to the employment roster. This method is more desirable because it provides a quick means of accountability, and that is key in an emergency/disaster incident. O B. Perform a headcount and account for employees by comparing those present at evacuation rally points with daily attendance sheets (or other similar means/documents) that detail who was present at the facility on the given day of evacuation. This method is more desirable because it more accurately accounts for employees actually present at the time of evacuation O C. Have employees sign an employment roster at each rally point. This is more desirable because it provides a legal record of who actually evacuated the facility and would protect the company should a lawsuit in the wake of the emergency occur. O D. Account for employees by comparing those present at evacuation rally points with daily attendance sheets (or other similar means) that details who was present at the facility on the given day of evacuation. This method is more desirable because OSHA explicitly calls for this type of system in its basic, general industry standard for emergency action plans QUESTION 2 Suppose you work for Blackacre Automotive, Inc.; a manufacturing company with approximately 500 employees onsite at any given time when production is underway. You are in the process of revamping Blackacre's EAP, and senior management has indicated they want Blackacre's EAP to be outstanding. In fact, they have charged you with exceeding OSHA minimums and even complying with the relevant consensus standards on the matter. Accordingly, you've been using NFPA 1600 as a compass. After conducting your assessment on the facility, you determine there is no established means available detecting severe weather, and the facility is not equipped with an automatic fire detection and alarm system. You are now preparing for a meeting with upper management to inform them of the need for a capital improvement project that includes the installation of a fire detection and alarm system, as well as a severe weather monitoring system. You've heard there may be resistance to the expense, and some members of management think the current two-way radios and hand held air horns (like those used on a boat or football game) are sufficient. You need to be prepared for questions on what the standards actually require. After all, nothing hurts your credibility worse than trying to be a walking code/standard book, and/or erroneously state what is REQUIRED by a particular standard. As such, which of the following is NOT accurate with respect to what NFPA 1600 requires for warning, notification and communications systems. O ANFPA 1600 requires a facility to have reliable, redundant, and interoperable warning, notification and communication systems O B.NFPA 1600 requires a facility to have protocols and procedures for warning, notification, and communications that are testable and able to alert stakeholders of actual or impending incidents. O CNFPA 1600 requires a fire alarm system compliant with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. OD. NFPA 1600 requires that communication systems be interoperable in order to ensure that responders are able to communicate effectively during an incident. QUESTION 3 Which of the following is/are requirements of both OSHA's general industry standard on emergency action plans, 29 CFR $ 1910.38, and NFPA 1600 with respect to emergency response plans? O A. Considering the evacuation needs of employees with disabilities. O B. Requirements for developing procedures for controlling access to the area and protecting of the environment OC Requirements to develop an incident management system. O D. Requirements to develop plans and procedures for mobilizing and demobilizing emergency and mitigation resources. O E. Both A and B OF. None of the above QUESTION 4 Which of the following is/are key consideration(s) for evacuation planning that OSHA advocates? O A. Considering the evacuation needs of employees with disabilities. O B. Chain of command and clearly determining whom within a business has the authority to order evacuation oc Designating and training employees who do not immediately evacuate on critical operations and shutdown procedures O D. All of the above O E. None of the above
