A shooter collapses on the firing line and is unresponsive. What is the RSO's FIRST action?
Answer: Declare a ceasefire and secure all firearms
Securing the range and declaring a ceasefire ensures no further injuries before emergency care begins.
Which document must be completed after any range incident involving injury or property damage?
Answer: Incident/accident report form
An incident/accident report form documents the event for liability, regulatory, and safety review purposes.
What is the recommended minimum number of RSOs present when a gunshot wound occurs to ensure proper emergency response?
Answer: At least two so one can call EMS while the other renders aid
Having at least two RSOs allows simultaneous emergency communication and direct patient care.
When reporting a range incident to range management, what information should be included FIRST?
Answer: Nature and severity of the incident and whether EMS was called
The nature, severity, and whether EMS was called gives management the critical situational picture immediately.
A squib load causes a bullet to lodge in the barrel. The shooter attempts to fire again. What should an RSO do?
Answer: Immediately call a ceasefire and have the firearm cleared by a qualified person
Firing into an obstructed barrel risks catastrophic firearm failure and serious injury.
After a range fire is extinguished, what is the RSO's next priority before resuming operations?
Answer: Inspect and document the cause, damage, and corrective actions taken
A post-incident inspection and documentation identifies root causes and prevents recurrence.
A range visitor reports smelling a strong chemical odor near the ventilation system. What should the RSO do?
