  1. What is the correct order of priorities in the Incident Command System (ICS) during a construction emergency?

    Answer: Life safety, incident stabilization, property preservation

    ICS prioritizes life safety first, then stabilizing the incident to prevent escalation, and finally protecting property.

  2. A natural gas line is accidentally struck during excavation. What is the FIRST action the supervisor should take?

    Answer: Evacuate all workers from the area and eliminate ignition sources

    Immediately evacuating the area and eliminating ignition sources prevents fire or explosion from escaping natural gas.

  3. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.35, which type of construction sites require a written Emergency Action Plan?

    Answer: Sites with 11 or more employees

    OSHA requires a written Emergency Action Plan for construction sites with 11 or more employees; smaller sites may communicate the plan orally.

  4. During a mass casualty event on a construction site, the START triage system classifies a non-breathing victim after repositioning the airway as which tag color?

    Answer: Black (expectant/deceased)

    In START triage, a victim who does not breathe after airway repositioning is classified as Black (expectant/deceased) because resources focus on salvageable patients.

  5. Which type of fire extinguisher is appropriate for use on electrical equipment fires at a construction site?

    Answer: Class C

    Class C extinguishers use non-conductive agents safe for energized electrical equipment fires.

  6. When developing a construction site emergency plan, what information must be communicated to ALL workers BEFORE work begins?

    Answer: Alarm signals, evacuation routes, and assembly points

    All workers must be informed of alarm signals, evacuation routes, and assembly points before starting work so they can respond correctly in an emergency.

  7. What is the role of the Safety Trained Supervisor Construction (STSC) in post-incident investigation?

    Answer: To secure the scene, document conditions, and identify root causes to prevent recurrence

    The STSC's role in post-incident investigation is to preserve the scene, gather facts, and conduct root cause analysis to prevent future incidents.
