    Answer: Run to a safe place, hide and barricade if you cannot run, tell police by calling 999

    'Run, Hide, Tell' is the UK Counter Terrorism advice: RUN to a safe place if possible, HIDE if you cannot run (barricade, silence phone, stay out of sight), TELL police by calling 999 when safe to do so.

  2. What does the ETHANE model stand for in major incident reporting?

    ETHANE is the structured reporting model: Exact location, Type of incident, Hazards present or potential, Access routes, Number of casualties (dead/injured), Emergency services present and required. It ensures critical information is passed to 999 clearly.

    Answer: Guide patrons to designated assembly points using the nearest safe exit routes, conducting a sweep of all areas

    The door supervisor's primary role during fire evacuation is ensuring all patrons leave safely via designated escape routes, directing them to assembly points, and conducting sweeps to ensure no one is left behind. Firefighting is secondary to life safety.

    Answer: 30 compressions to 2 breaths

    The UK Resuscitation Council recommends 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths for adult CPR. Compressions should be at a rate of 100-120 per minute and at a depth of 5-6cm.

  5. If a suspicious package is found in a venue, what is the correct initial action?

    Answer: Do not touch it, evacuate the immediate area, inform management, and call 999

    A suspicious package should never be touched or moved. The immediate area should be cleared, management informed, police called on 999, and the evacuation plan activated if necessary. Moving the item could trigger a device.

  6. What is a 'dynamic risk assessment' in the context of emergency procedures?

    Answer: A continuous, real-time evaluation of risks and threats as a situation develops, allowing responses to be adapted accordingly

    A dynamic risk assessment is the ongoing mental process of evaluating risks in real-time as a situation unfolds. It allows door supervisors to continuously assess threats, weigh options, and adapt their response as circumstances change.
