Answer to Question 1

A company's designated safety and health professional is the obvious person to organize and coordinate emergency responses. However, regardless of who is designated, it is important that: (1) one person in charge; (2) everyone involved know who is in charge; and (3) everyone who has a role in responding to an emergency be given ample opportunities to practice in simulated conditions that come as close as possible to real conditions.

Answer to Question 2

The job of the TRT is to intervene as early as possible, help employees acknowledge what they have experienced, and give them opportunities to express how they feel about it to people who are qualified to help. The qualified to help aspect is very important. TRT members who are not counselors or mental health professionals should never attempt to provide care they are not qualified to give. Part of the trauma training that construction professionals receive involves recognizing the symptoms of employees who need professional care and referring them to qualified care providers.
