Which statement accurately describes evacuation personnel responsibilities?

• A. All employees share responsibility
• B. Trained marshals and wardens are responsible for checking all areas during evacuation
• C. Security guards are the only evacuated personnel
• D. Supervisors are responsible for all evacuation tasks

Answer: (B)

During an organized evacuation, designated personnel have specific duties to ensure everyone exits safely and nothing is overlooked. Trained marshals and wardens are responsible for checking their assigned areas during the evacuation. They lead people to exits, perform area sweeps to confirm all occupants have left, account for assigned zones, and report the status to the incident commander. This structured responsibility helps ensure that no areas are left unchecked and that evacuation remains orderly. Everyone should evacuate and follow directions, but the formal checks and accountability come from the marshals and wardens, not from security guards as the sole evacuees, and supervisors coordinate rather than perform all evacuation tasks themselves.
