Emergency Procedures And First Aid - Quiz

This quiz is a sample of questions from the Health and Safety test relating to emergency procedures and first aid.

2. If someone is in contact with a live cable, the best thing you can do is:

Explanation

The best thing to do when someone is in contact with a live cable is to switch off the power and call for help. This is because the live cable poses a serious risk of electric shock, which can be fatal. By switching off the power, you eliminate the source of electricity and reduce the risk of further harm. It is important to call for help as well, as the person may need immediate medical attention. Pulling them away from the cable can put both the person and the rescuer at risk of electric shock.

Submit
3. If someone burns their hand, the best thing you can do is?

Explanation

Putting the burned hand in cold water is the best thing to do because it helps to cool down the burn and minimize the damage caused by the heat. Cold water helps to reduce inflammation, soothe the pain, and prevent further injury. It also helps to remove any heat from the burn, which can prevent the burn from getting worse.

Submit
4. Someone has fallen from height and has no feeling in their legs.  You should tell them to?

Explanation

In the given scenario, the correct answer is to stay where they are until medical help arrives. This is because the person has fallen from a height and has no feeling in their legs, indicating a potential spinal injury. Moving the person without proper medical assistance could worsen their condition and cause further damage. It is important to keep them still and wait for professional help to arrive, as they are trained to handle such situations safely.

Submit
5. When would you expect eye-way bottles to be provided?

Explanation

Eye-way bottles are used to provide immediate relief and first aid in case of eye injuries or when something gets into someone's eyes. It is important to have them readily available in all sites where there is a risk of eye injuries, regardless of the specific activities being carried out. This ensures that prompt action can be taken to minimize the potential damage caused by foreign objects or substances in the eyes.

Submit
6. Someone collapses with stomach pain.  There is no first aider on site.  What should you do?

Explanation

In this situation, the most appropriate action is to get someone to call the emergency services. This is because the person has collapsed with stomach pain, which could be a sign of a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention. Calling the emergency services will ensure that the person receives the necessary medical help as soon as possible. Sitting them down, lying them down in the recovery position, or giving them painkillers may not address the underlying cause of the stomach pain and delay proper medical intervention.

Submit
7. A first aid box shoud not contain:

Explanation

A first aid box should not contain pain killers because administering medication without proper medical supervision or knowledge can be dangerous. Pain killers can have side effects and may interact with other medications or medical conditions. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before taking any medication, especially in emergency situations where the individual's medical history and condition are unknown.

Submit
8. What is the first thing you should do if you find an injured person?

Explanation

When encountering an injured person, the first priority should be to ensure personal safety. By checking that you are not in any danger, you can prevent further harm to yourself and assess the situation more effectively. This step is crucial as it allows you to make informed decisions on how to proceed and provide assistance to the injured person without putting yourself at risk.

Submit
9. Someone working in a deep manhole has collapsed.  What is the first thing you should do?

Explanation

In an emergency situation like someone collapsing in a deep manhole, the first thing to do is to shout to let others know what has happened. This is important because it alerts people nearby and can help in getting immediate assistance. By shouting, you can attract the attention of others who can then come to your aid or call for help. It is crucial to notify others about the situation so that appropriate actions can be taken promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of the person in distress.

Submit
10. You will find out about emergency assembly points from:

Explanation

During a site induction, workers are provided with important information about the site, including emergency procedures and assembly points. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of all individuals in the event of an emergency. The site induction serves as a comprehensive introduction to the site, its hazards, and the necessary precautions to be taken. Therefore, it is the most appropriate source to obtain information about emergency assembly points.
