What this lesson covers
This lesson covers how a construction site manages a crisis: clear roles and lines of authority, alarms and reporting, accounting for workers, coordination with outside responders and agencies, and critique after the event. It matters because CHST questions ask what must be in an emergency plan and who does what when something goes wrong.
