    Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment; once de-energized, the fire may be reclassified as Class A or B.

  2. OSHA's HAZWOPER standard (29 CFR 1910.120) requires that employees who respond to hazardous substance emergencies at the operations level receive at least how many hours of initial training?

    Answer: 24 hours

    Operations-level responders must receive at least 8 hours of initial training, while technician-level responders require 24 hours.

  3. Which emergency shelter-in-place action is most appropriate during an outdoor toxic gas release?

    Answer: Essential government or organizational functions continue during disruptions

    A COOP ensures that mission-essential functions can continue with minimal interruption during emergencies or disasters.

  7. During a mass casualty incident, the START triage system classifies a patient as 'Immediate' (Red) when they have:

    Answer: Respirations over 30/min, or absent radial pulse, or altered mental status

    START red (immediate) patients have respiratory rate >30, absent radial pulse, or cannot follow simple commands, indicating life-threatening but survivable injuries.
