C. Midst; aftermath
D. Aftermath; immediate

Answer 8

D. Aftermath; immediate

Question 9

Explain to defend in place strategy.

Answer 9

Is used in apartments, hotels, and office buildings that have been constructed using fire resistive design features.

You can be safer to remain in place then to attempt evacuation through a smoke-filled Corredor and down several flights of stairs.

Partitions between apartments in Corredor is typically have at least one hour fire resistance rating’s, giving fire department personnel another responder sufficient time to enact a phased evacuation, if one is needed.

Question 10

What steps should be considered when accounting for individuals post evacuation?

Answer 10

Designate an assembly area outside of the workplace where employees should gather after evacuating.

Take a headcount after the evacuation. Identify the names and last no locations of anyone not accounted for, and pass this information to the official in charge.

Establish a method for accounting for non-employees and occasional Building occupants such a suppliers and customers with a sign in system that is reliable used by everyone without exception

In buildings with multiple tenants, each tenant will have a designated emergency response Kaptan to assist the buildings into the coordinator with these headcount tasks

Question 11

How should one go about responding to a liquid/chemical/electrical fire?

Answer 11

The best approach is to sound the alarm, evacuate the area, and let the professionals handle the situation.

Question 12

Compare the timing of a BCP versus an emergency plan.

Answer 12

Business continuity planning is important for appropriate action in the aftermath of an emergency, but emergency planning focuses on the immediate response to particular emergencies. Emergency plans will vary with the type of event they were written for and many other factors.

Question 13

The BEST approach when encountering a liquid, chemical, or electrical fire is to do what?

A. Sound the alarm and wait near the fire to explain the situation to the firefighters

C. Sound the alarm, wait to make certain the sprinklers and gauge, and to back you wait the area
D. Sound the alarm, evacuate the area, and let the professionals handle the situation

Answer 13

D. Sound the alarm, evacuate the area, and let the professionals handle the situation

Question 14

What is the purpose of partial or zoned evacuations?

Answer 14

Partial or zoned evacuation provides for immediate, general evacuation of the areas of the building nearest the hazard incident.

Question 15

What is the process and purpose of delayed evacuations?

Answer 15

Delayed evacuations take advantage of temporary holding places, typically known as areas of refuge for areas of rescue assistance, we’re occupants can remain in relative safe week, I’ll be at near the fire area, for a short period of time (generally less than an hour or two).

Disabled
