    What should you do if the fire alarm sounds

    • Hide under the desk

    • Go to the fire assembly point

    • Pick up all your stuff then go to the assembly point

    • Locate the fire and attempt to put it out

    Correct Answer
    A. Go to the fire assembly point
    Explanation
    When the fire alarm sounds, the correct action to take is to go to the fire assembly point. This is because the fire alarm indicates that there is a potential fire hazard, and it is important to evacuate the building and gather at a designated safe location. Going to the fire assembly point allows for a headcount and ensures that everyone is accounted for in a safe area away from the potential danger.

    • Health & safety manager only

    Correct Answer
    A. Anyone who discovers a fire
    Explanation
    In case of an emergency, anyone who discovers a fire should raise the fire alarm. This is because it is important to notify others about the fire as quickly as possible in order to ensure the safety of everyone in the vicinity. It is not limited to a specific role or position, as the priority is to alert everyone and initiate the necessary evacuation procedures.

    Which of the following is a physical means of protection

    • PPE

    Explanation
    PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment, which refers to any equipment or clothing worn by individuals to protect themselves from potential hazards in the workplace.

PPE acts as a physical barrier between the person and the potential danger, providing protection against injuries or illnesses. Therefore, PPE is a physical means of protection.

    Correct Answer
    A. Escort them to a safe place at once
    Explanation
    If you discover children playing on a work site, the immediate priority should be their safety. Escorting them to a safe place at once is the most appropriate action to take in this situation. It helps to prevent any potential accidents or injuries that could occur due to their presence on the work site. Reporting it to your supervisor, calling the police, and informing the HSE can be done afterwards to ensure that the necessary authorities are aware of the situation and can take appropriate actions.

  • 8. 

    What type of fire extinguisher is coloured black

    • Water

    • Foam

    • Powder

    • Co2

    Correct Answer
    A. Co2
    Explanation
    CO2 fire extinguishers are colored black because they contain carbon dioxide gas, which is a non-flammable and non-toxic agent used to suppress fires. The black color is used to easily identify and differentiate CO2 extinguishers from other types. CO2 extinguishers are primarily used for electrical fires and flammable liquid fires, as they displace oxygen and cool down the fire, effectively extinguishing it.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What type of fire would a black extinguisher be best at putting out

    • Oil fire

    • Paper fire

    • Electrical fire

    • Metal fire

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrical fire
    Explanation
    A black extinguisher would be best at putting out an electrical fire because it is specifically designed for that type of fire. Electrical fires involve the flow of electricity, which can be dangerous to extinguish with water or other types of extinguishers. A black extinguisher contains a non-conductive agent, such as carbon dioxide or dry chemical, which can safely smother the fire without conducting electricity. This type of extinguisher is commonly used in areas with electrical equipment or wiring, such as server rooms or electrical panel rooms.

    Explanation
    HSE stands for "health & safety executive." This is an organization in charge of regulating and enforcing health and safety standards in the workplace in the United Kingdom. They provide guidance, advice, and support to employers and employees to ensure a safe and healthy working environment. The HSE plays a crucial role in preventing work-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses, and promoting overall well-being in the workplace.
