Which action is listed under Electrical Safety Responsibilities regarding CPR instructors?

• A. Ensure CPR instructor is CPR certified
• B. Require all safety personnel to have EMT certification
• C. Schedule safety drills monthly
• D. Maintain hazardous material inventories

Answer: (A)

In this topic, the focus is on ensuring those who teach CPR are current and capable to provide immediate life-saving care. The best choice is to have the CPR instructor CPR certified because that credential confirms they stay up-to-date on the proper techniques for performing chest compressions, rescue breaths, and using an AED, which is essential in electrical safety scenarios where quick action can be the difference between life and death. An instructor who is CPR certified can reliably train others to respond correctly during an electrical incident and model proper emergency procedures, aligning with safety program standards.

The other options don’t directly address the prerequisite for teaching CPR within an electrical safety program. EMT certification is a more advanced credential than required for CPR instruction in this context. Scheduling safety drills and maintaining hazardous material inventories relate to broader safety operations, not specifically to the qualifications needed to instruct CPR.
