  1. When approaching an industrial accident scene with chemical spills, what is your FIRST priority?

    Answer: Ensure the scene is safe for rescuers

    Rescuer safety is always the first priority; entering an unsafe chemical scene can create additional casualties.

  2. A worker is unresponsive after a fall from height. What should you assess FIRST?

    Answer: Level of consciousness

    Level of consciousness (LOC) is the first step in primary assessment using the AVPU scale (Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive).

  3. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a primary survey in emergency response?

    Answer: Identify and treat life-threatening conditions immediately

    The primary survey (DRABC) rapidly identifies and manages life-threatening conditions such as airway obstruction, absent breathing, and severe bleeding.

  4. You arrive at a scene where a co-worker has been electrocuted and is still in contact with the power source. What do you do?

    Answer: Do not approach until the power is confirmed off

    Electrical current can arc and kill a rescuer; never approach until a qualified person has confirmed power is disconnected.

  5. The acronym SAMPLE, used during secondary assessment, stands for Signs/Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Pertinent history, Last oral intake, and:

    Answer: Events leading to the emergency

    The 'E' in SAMPLE stands for Events leading to the emergency, helping to understand what precipitated the patient's condition.

  6. When managing multiple casualties at a workplace incident, which triage tag color indicates a patient who is deceased or has unsurvivable injuries?

    Answer: Black

    Black triage tags are assigned to deceased victims or those with injuries so severe that survival is unlikely even with immediate care.

  7. A scene size-up at a construction site should include an assessment of all of the following EXCEPT:

    Answer: Patient's insurance information

    Scene size-up focuses on safety, number of victims, mechanism of injury, and resource needs — not administrative or insurance details.
