Emergency personnel are responsible for which of the following?

• A. Rescue members and receive training on removing simulated victims.
• B. Enroll all personnel in installation RPP.
• C. Document location of confined spaces in DOEHRS.
• D. Review and approve non-routine entry permits.

Answer: (A)

Emergency personnel must be prepared to locate and remove injured or trapped workers and to practice those rescue procedures, including removing simulated victims during drills. This hands-on capability is essential for keeping responders and coworkers safe during an incident, ensuring rapid, coordinated action and proper use of rescue equipment. The other tasks are administrative or program-management duties that fall to safety officers or permit coordinators rather than the responders who carry out the actual extraction and emergency care. Enrolling all personnel in an installation program, documenting the location of confined spaces in the hazard system, or reviewing and approving non-routine entry permits are important safety functions, but they aren’t the core actions emergency responders perform during an incident.
