1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: An emergency response plan describes the actions to be taken in the event of a natural disaster, emergency evacuation, terrorist attack, or any other incident that disrupts the normal work pattern. Emergency response plans tell employees what to do. The organization's easy access website is an attempt to guide employees during the chaos.
2. Right Answer: C
Explanation: By limiting the length of the work shift, the company mitigates the risk of accidents caused by fatigue and inattention. This is aimed at reducing the probability of the occurrence of accidents, at least for this cause. Decisions not to assign or not to hire are risk avoidance measures. The partnering strategy is a way of enhancing upside risk.
3. Right Answer: C
Explanation: A simulated crisis in which the plan is tested will alert the company to changes that need to be made and is the best way to see how the plan performs.
4. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Secondary risk refers to risks that are created by the risk management strategy itself. Before they are implemented, strategies must be analyzed to determine if they present secondary risks.
5. Right Answer: C
Explanation: The most effective way to control hazards and their consequences is to engineer them out of the workplace. For example, a sawmill may design the cutting process so that the level of sawdust is acceptable.
