You can respond to certain emergencies without training if and only if permission is granted by your supervisor.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only with certification

Answer: (B)

In emergencies, you must rely on what you’ve been trained to do and what your company’s procedures authorize. Supervisor permission does not substitute for the training required to respond safely to propane emergencies. Without that training, attempting to act could worsen the hazard, put you at risk, or delay the arrival of qualified responders. Training covers recognizing hazards, knowing when and how to shut off gas safely, using protective gear, and following the emergency action plan and contact procedures. If an emergency occurs, the best course is to evacuate if needed, alert others, and call trained professionals to handle the situation. So the statement isn’t correct: you shouldn’t respond to emergencies without the appropriate training, even with supervisor permission.
