What is the most important component of a facility's emergency action plan (EAP)?

An EAP is effective only when staff know their roles, how to call EMS, and practice the plan regularly.
For sudden cardiac arrest, the American Heart Association recommends AED use ideally within how many minutes of collapse?
Answer: 3 to 5 minutes
Survival drops sharply each minute without defibrillation, so goal is shock within 3-5 minutes.
Which measure is the best indicator of environmental heat stress for outdoor athletic practice decisions?
Answer: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT)
WBGT combines temperature, humidity, radiant heat, and wind to estimate heat stress.
What is the recommended first-line treatment for suspected exertional heat stroke?

Rapid whole-body cold-water immersion is the gold standard, ideally 'cool first, transport second.'
An athlete takes a hit and shows confusion and headache. What should happen according to standard concussion protocols?

Suspected concussion requires immediate removal and no same-day return; return follows medical clearance and a graduated protocol.
Within what timeframe should an incident report ideally be completed after an injury at a fitness facility?
