If you cannot remove debris, which action should you take while waiting for cleanup crews?

• A. Move away from the area
• B. Remain by the debris until cleanup crew arrives
• C. Push debris aside
• D. Notify supervisor and continue operations

Answer: (B)

When you can’t remove debris, prioritize safety by not operating in or around the hazard and by coordinating with the cleanup team. The best move is to stay in a position near the debris so you can clearly see the area, keep it under observation, and communicate withCleanup crews as soon as they arrive. This approach helps ensure the hazard is controlled, the scene remains intact for the responders, and you can resume normal operations only after the debris is cleared and the area is deemed safe. Pushing debris aside, continuing operations, or wandering away from the site all introduce unnecessary risk and can obstruct cleanup or lead to a collision or damage. So, remain by the debris until cleanup crew arrives.
