If an employee is exposed, the supervisor must ensure the _______________________ is verbally notified.

• A. Exposure Control Officer
• B. Safety Officer
• C. Medical Officer
• D. HR Manager

Answer: (A)

Exposure incidents require immediate action: the supervisor must verbally notify the designated Exposure Control Officer so the exposure control program can be activated and proper follow-up arranged. The Exposure Control Officer oversees the plan to prevent and respond to exposures, coordinates post-exposure evaluation, and ensures timely documentation and medical follow-up in line with policy and OSHA standards. While other roles like the Safety Officer, Medical Officer, or HR Manager have important duties related to safety, health care, or personnel, they are not the immediate recipient designated to initiate the exposure response. Verbal notification should be followed by the required written documentation and steps outlined in the program.
