LESSON 3 FINALS Flashcards
should be delivered to new members of the emergency action
team. Each member should understand not only their responsibilities, but also the
responsibilities of the other team members
Orientation training
where members of the team sit in a conference room and pull
emergency scenarios from a hat. Circling around the conference room table, each
member would then explain their responsibilities to the group.
Tabletop exercises
allow the emergency action team to perform their emergency
responsibilities more accurately. During a walk-through drill, members of the
emergency action team visit areas that are crucial to a successful plan implementation.
Walk-through drills
are an extension of the walk-through drills. Involvement in this
drill is limited to members of the emergency action team. Participants are instructed to
evacuate the building, paying particular attention to the signage, exit routes, doorways,
and staging areas
Pre-evacuation drills
to closely stimulate an actual emergency event as possible. This
necessitates the involvement of emergency response personnel, employees, and
community response organizations.
Full-scale exercises
A total evacuation is not necessary, nor is it recommended. Smaller drills have
proven to be quite effective. T OR F
TRUE
has embraced an evacuation model that conducts a partial evacuation
of the affected floors.
The NFPA
A final reason to avoid the entire building evacuation approach is the negative
impact on business continuity. T OR F
TRUE
These simulations
are acted out with the utmost detail, including fake blood and wounds
on-site disaster simulations
One of the problems with building evacuation drills is the gain of productivity. T OR F
FALSE (LOSS)
outlines specific requirements for fire-
resistant spaces where persons unable to use stairs can call for and wait for
evacuation assistance from emergency personnel.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
often located at egress stair landings, but other
areas that meet specific fire rating and smoke protection can be used
areas of refuge
will perform basic first aid and extinguish small fires in the event
of an actual emergency. They may fight more advance fires if properly trained
and supplied.
Fire Brigade
They ensure that all building occupants have recognized the alarm
and quickly head for the evacuation routes.
Floor Captain
They will gather employees in the pre-assigned location in the parking
lot. They will take roll call and will call missing employees or visitor on cellphones
or pagers
Group Leader
will serve as a liaison between the group leader and the command
post leader. During the evacuation, the runner visits each individual group and
gets a status report from the group leader.
Runner
collects employee status from each of the groups and
compiles a list of unaccounted personnel.
Command Post Leader
is an essential element of emergency medical response. The
contents of the first aid kit should treat the types of injuries that might occur in
your workplace and suit the expertise of the first responders providing initial
care and relief.
The First Aid Kit
Cuts and burns often represent the greatest exposure in the
workplace. T OR F
TRUE
has proven to be an
important step in treating a person who experiences sudden cardiac arrest
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
are used to restore a normal heartbeat in
an individual who has experienced sudden cardiac arrest.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
A lack of oxygen in the victim’s bloodstream can lessen
the effects of an AED device, cause brain damage, and even cause death. Emergency oxygen
can provide relief until emergency medical technicians arrive on the scene
Emergency Oxygen Administration
a first aid responder must understand how these diseases
are transmitted and how they can protect themselves from these diseases.
Blood borne Pathogens (BBP)
can be extremely painful, causing shock, infection, and event death.
Burns
