  1. Which agency should an RSO contact if a range incident involves a fatality?

    Answer: 911 and local law enforcement immediately

    A fatality requires immediate 911 contact and law enforcement response, with other notifications following.

  2. What is the RSO's role regarding bystander CPR assistance during a cardiac emergency on the range?

    Answer: The RSO should coordinate care, potentially directing trained bystanders to assist while EMS is summoned

    RSOs coordinate the overall emergency response, which includes directing capable bystanders to assist until EMS arrives.

  3. A shooter reports that another participant made a verbal threat. How should the RSO respond?

    Answer: Remove both parties from the range, document the incident, and notify management

    Verbal threats in a live-fire environment are serious safety incidents requiring immediate separation, documentation, and management notification.

  4. What is the BEST method for controlling bleeding from a serious gunshot wound until EMS arrives?

    Answer: Apply a tourniquet only if the wound is on a limb; use direct pressure for torso wounds

    Tourniquets are appropriate for limb wounds, while direct pressure is the standard for torso wounds where tourniquets cannot be applied.

  5. Which of the following scenarios requires an RSO to file a report with a regulatory or government agency?

    Answer: A fatality or serious injury involving a firearm

    Fatalities and serious injuries typically trigger mandatory reporting to law enforcement and potentially OSHA or state regulators.

  6. After an emergency evacuation of the range, when is it safe to allow shooters to return to the firing line?

    Answer: Only after the RSO confirms the hazard is resolved and the area is declared safe

    Return to operations is only authorized once the RSO has verified the hazard is completely resolved and the area is safe.

  7. What does the term 'near miss' mean in the context of range incident reporting?

    Answer: An event that had the potential to cause injury or damage but did not

    A near miss is a safety incident where no harm occurred but conditions existed that could have caused injury or damage.
