Which term describes the policy that outlines steps for recalling personnel during emergencies?

• A. Major Emergency Event and Recall Policy
• B. HazMat Policy
• C. Incident Communications Policy
• D. Trench Rescue Policy

Answer: (A)

Recall procedures for emergencies are all about how and when personnel are brought in when something big is happening. The term Major Emergency Event and Recall Policy specifically describes the steps to activate, notify, assemble, and account for staff during major incidents. It covers who gets called, how they are alerted (pager, radio, phone), where they muster, and how supervisors track who is available and on scene, ensuring safety and control. The other policies focus on narrower areas: HazMat Policy governs handling and response to hazardous materials; Incident Communications Policy covers how information is shared during incidents; Trench Rescue Policy outlines procedures for trench-related rescue operations. So the policy that directly addresses summoning and recalling personnel during emergencies is the Major Emergency Event and Recall Policy.
