    What is the first thing you should do if an evacuation occurs?

    • Ask everyone around you, “Is this just a drill?”

    • Get your car keys from your work area

    • Exit the nearest exit door

    • Scream like a little girl & run over anyone in your way

    Correct Answer
    A. Exit the nearest exit door
    Explanation
    The first thing you should do if an evacuation occurs is to exit the nearest exit door. This is the most important step to ensure your safety and to follow the evacuation protocol. Asking if it is just a drill or getting your car keys can waste valuable time and delay your evacuation. Additionally, screaming and running over anyone in your way is not a responsible or appropriate action during an evacuation.

    If a power outage occurs, you should:

    • Go home

    • Ask your supervisor what to do

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask your supervisor what to do
    Explanation
    In the event of a power outage, it is important to ask your supervisor what to do. This is because your supervisor is responsible for managing the situation and providing guidance to ensure the safety and well-being of employees. They will have the necessary knowledge and authority to make informed decisions and may have specific protocols in place for handling power outages. Following their instructions will help maintain order and minimize any potential risks or disruptions caused by the outage.

    • Notify your supervisor that you are safely out of the building

    Correct Answer
    A. Notify your supervisor that you are safely out of the building
    Explanation
    When you arrive at the assembly area, it is important to notify your supervisor that you are safely out of the building. This is crucial for accountability and ensuring that everyone has evacuated safely. Your supervisor needs to know that you are accounted for and not still inside the building. This information can help them make informed decisions and take appropriate actions during an emergency situation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Call 911, yell for first aid help, send someone to the front of the facility to direct EMS, contact the EHS dept. & HR dept.
    Explanation
    In the event of a serious medical emergency, it is important to take immediate action to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual. The correct answer suggests calling 911 to alert emergency services and requesting first aid help. Additionally, it is recommended to send someone to the front of the facility to direct EMS (Emergency Medical Services) to the location of the emergency. Contacting the EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) department and HR (Human Resources) department is also advised to ensure proper documentation and support during the incident. This comprehensive approach covers both immediate medical attention and organizational procedures for handling emergencies.

    Where is the assembly area for evacuations?

    • On the west side of the pond

    • The south west corner of the main parking lot

    • On the lawn south of Building 1 close to Victor Mendon Rd.

    • The east side of Building 6 parking lot

    Correct Answer
    A. The south west corner of the main parking lot
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the south west corner of the main parking lot. This location is designated as the assembly area for evacuations. It is important to have a specific area where people can gather during emergencies to ensure everyone's safety and accountability. The south west corner of the main parking lot is likely chosen because it is easily accessible and provides enough space for a large group of people to gather.

    AED stands for:

    • Automatic Electrical Defibrillator

    • Automated External Defibrillator

    • Automatic Energizing Deionizer

    • Always Evading Disaster

    Correct Answer
    A. Automated External Defibrillator
    Explanation
    AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. This device is used to deliver an electric shock to the heart in cases of cardiac arrest. It is designed to be used by non-medical personnel and provides step-by-step instructions on how to use it. The term "automated" refers to the device's ability to analyze the heart's rhythm and determine if a shock is needed, while "external" indicates that the device is applied to the outside of the body. Defibrillation is the process of restoring a normal heart rhythm by delivering a controlled electric shock.

    In order to dial 911 from a desk phone, you need to dial:

    • 9-1-1

    • 7-9-1-1

    • 9-9-1-1

    • *-9-1-1

    Correct Answer
    A. 9-9-1-1
    Explanation
    To dial 911 from a desk phone, you need to dial 9-9-1-1. The number "9" is typically used to access an outside line, and "1-1" is the emergency code. Therefore, dialing "9-9-1-1" ensures that you first access an outside line and then connect to the emergency services. The other options provided do not follow this sequence and are therefore incorrect.
