An immediate response is necessary in emergencies, and this response is made more effective when it is based on prior planning, evaluation, and adjustment.

Question 4

OSHA has no standard related to emergency evacuation but, instead, specifies the use of the guidelines of the International Red Cross.

Accepted Answer

OSHA does have specific standards related to emergency evacuation (29 CFR 1910.38), including the development of an emergency action plan and the implementation of employee training and drills. However, OSHA may reference guidelines from outside organizations such as the International Red Cross as a resource for developing effective emergency evacuation plans.

Question 5

A team of people that responds to emergencies to ensure proper evacuation of personnel, shut down of the building, and coordination with civil authorities is called:&#10;A)CHLOREP&#10;B)Emergency response team&#10;C)Emergency action team&#10;D)Emergency response network

Accepted Answer

The term "emergency response team" is commonly used to refer to a group of individuals responsible for responding to emergency situations and coordinating with civil authorities to ensure the proper evacuation of personnel and the shutdown of a building in the event of an emergency. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is not a commonly used term, while option C is similar to option B but is not the commonly used name for such a team. Option D is not a specific term and does not accurately describe the team.

Contacting insurance representatives, customers, and appropriate authorities (such as emergency services and government agencies) are all important steps in a disaster recovery plan.

In emergency response situations, it is important to have a clear chain of command to ensure effective decision making and communication. Having one person in charge helps avoid confusion and facilitates a more efficient response.
