One question from the bank

This is the first question of the bank, printed exactly as it is inside it, with its answer and its source. Our questions are written from the published documents. They are not the questions of the real test, which are not published.

After the incidentsia-1774

HSE guidance on work-related violence says something about the people who handle post-incident support. What does it require?

  • AThat the venue's insurer appoints a case handler for each incident
  • BThat those dealing with the situation are fully trained to support colleaguesCorrect answer
  • CThat only the victim's own manager speaks to them about the incident
  • DThat a police officer is present for every such conversation

Why that is the answer

The guidance asks employers to make sure the workers who deal with post-incident situations are fully trained and know how to support their colleagues, because both victims and witnesses can be affected.
