What should staff be trained to do upon encountering an emergency during a drill?

Staff should be trained to follow the appropriate emergency response actions upon encountering an emergency during a drill. This ensures that everyone understands the protocol for specific situations, promoting safety and minimizing risks. By implementing the emergency response actions, staff can help protect themselves and others, manage the situation effectively, and maintain a controlled environment, even during a drill.

This approach reinforces the importance of preparedness and quick thinking, allowing staff to react accurately, rather than making decisions based on speculation or assumptions about the situation's seriousness. Training in these response actions equips staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond appropriately, ensuring a comprehensive and effective safety culture.
