Emergency Action Plans questions for the CHST

Question 1

A technician audits a jobsite's emergency action plan. The site has one employee alarm system. When the on-site fire brigade is called out, a supervisor sounds a continuous horn blast. When all employees must evacuate, the supervisor sounds the same continuous horn blast. Training records show every worker was told that the horn means 'report to the muster point.' Which finding is correct?

1. ACompliant, because every employee was trained on the one signal and knows to go to the muster point
2. BNoncompliant, because the system must be replaced with a separate alarm system for each purpose
3. CNoncompliant, because a distinctive signal must be used for each purpose the alarm system serves
4. DCompliant, as long as a supervisor verbally tells fire brigade members to respond after the horn sounds

Question 2

A contractor's draft emergency action plan for a building renovation assigns escape routes by floor, names the employees trained for rescue and medical duties, tells workers to report fires by calling the site emergency number, and lists the safety manager's job title for questions about the plan. During a drill, no one could say whether a two-person drywall crew had made it out. Which minimum plan element is missing and should be added to fix this gap?

1. ANames of the subcontractors' insurance carriers to notify after an evacuation
2. BProcedures to account for all employees after emergency evacuation has been completed
3. CProcedures allowing employees to re-enter the building to look for missing coworkers
4. DA map showing the location of every fire extinguisher on the site
