Question 1

When should an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) be used?

Accepted Answer

On a person in cardiac arrest who is unresponsive and not breathing normally

Accepted Answer

Keep the caller talking as long as possible, gather information, note the exact time and caller's words, and report to management and police immediately

Answer

Keep the caller on the line as long as possible, use the bomb threat checklist if available, note exact words, time of call, background noises, accent, and any distinguishing features. Report immediately to management and call 999.

Question 3

In a crowd crush emergency, what should a door supervisor prioritise?

Accepted Answer

Relieving pressure by opening additional exits, creating space, and preventing further inflow of people

Answer

In a crowd crush, the priority is relieving pressure. This means opening additional exits and barriers, stopping further inflow, creating space, and coordinating with colleagues. Shouting or pushing can increase panic and make the situation worse.

Question 4

What does 'scene preservation' mean in the context of a serious incident at a venue?

Accepted Answer

Securing and maintaining the scene as it was, preventing contamination of evidence, and controlling access until police arrive

Answer

Scene preservation involves securing the area, preventing anyone from disturbing evidence, controlling access, and keeping the scene as close to its original state as possible until police forensic teams can examine it.

Question 5

What is the recovery position used for?

Accepted Answer

To maintain an open airway in an unconscious person who is breathing, preventing choking on vomit or fluids

Answer

The recovery position is used for unconscious casualties who are still breathing. It keeps the airway open and allows fluids (such as vomit) to drain from the mouth, preventing choking. The person should be monitored continuously.
