Which actions are permissible when you interfere with an incident site (dangerous, serious or death)?

• A. Assist injured person; Remove deceased person; Make area safe/reduce risk to further notifiable; Police investigation; Inspection/regulator permission.
• B. Take photographs only.
• C. Move equipment and resume operations.
• D. Ignore the incident.

Answer: (A)

When an incident site is involved, the priority is to save lives, secure the scene, and enable proper regulatory oversight. Assisting an injured person is essential to provide care and support, while removing a deceased person may be necessary to access others or to safeguard the area, all done with appropriate respect and in line with procedures. Making the area safe and reducing risk to others helps prevent further harm and keeps bystanders away from hazards. Involving the police for investigation and obtaining regulator or inspector permission ensures the incident is properly reviewed and that any actions taken fit legal and procedural requirements for notifiable incidents. Taking photographs alone doesn’t address immediate safety or the need to preserve the scene for investigation, moving equipment and resuming operations can destroy evidence and create further danger, and ignoring the incident is not acceptable.
