Answer to Question 1

An emergency response team (ERT) is a special team that responds to general and localized emergencies to facilitate personnel evacuation and safety, shut down building services, and utilities, as needed, work with responding civil authorities, protect and salvage company property, and evaluate areas for safety prior to reentry.
A company's trauma response team (TRT) might consist of health and safety personnel who have undergone special training or fully credentialed counseling personnel depending on the size of the company. In any case the TRT should be included in the assignments/responsibilities section of the EAP.
