Question 2

Question 3

Answer

The 'golden hour' refers to the first 60 minutes after a severe traumatic injury. Prompt emergency treatment during this window significantly improves survival chances. This underscores why door supervisors must act quickly and call 999 without delay.

Question 4

During a major incident, what does 'triage' mean?

Accepted Answer

A systematic process of prioritising casualties based on the severity of their condition to ensure the most effective use of medical resources

Answer

Triage is the systematic prioritisation of casualties by severity. It uses categories: immediate (red/P1), urgent (yellow/P2), delayed (green/P3), and deceased (black/P4). This ensures limited medical resources are directed where they can save the most lives.

Question 5

What action should a door supervisor take if they discover a white powder substance during a suspected CBRN incident?

Do not touch it, evacuate the area, isolate anyone who may have been exposed, prevent them from leaving, and call 999

Answer

In a suspected CBRN incident, do not touch or disturb the substance. Evacuate the immediate area, isolate anyone who may have been exposed (they should not leave as they may spread contamination), and call 999 stating you suspect a CBRN incident.
