  1. السؤال 1 من 25

    In BC safety rules, when are you "working alone or in isolation"?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. When help would not be readily available if you were injured, ill or faced an emergency

    BC defines working alone by whether help is readily available in an emergency, not by how many people are on the property.

  2. السؤال 2 من 25

    A guard is the only person on an empty floor of a busy office tower at 3 a.m. Is the guard working alone?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Yes, if no one could see, hear or quickly help them

    Working alone is about whether help would come quickly, not whether other people are somewhere in the building.

  3. السؤال 3 من 25

    Under BC rules, what must the employer do before assigning work alone?
    أظهر الإجابة

  4. السؤال 4 من 25

    Which item must a BC check-in procedure include?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. A check at the end of the shift

    BC requires checks at set intervals plus a check at the end of the shift.

  5. السؤال 5 من 25

    How long is the check-in interval required by BC law?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. No fixed number; it is set for the job, with shorter intervals for higher-risk work

    BC rules do not set a single interval. It is developed for the job, and higher-risk work needs shorter intervals.

  6. السؤال 6 من 25

    In BC, who helps develop the check-in interval?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. The lone worker and the joint committee or worker representative

    BC says intervals are developed with the joint health and safety committee or worker representative, and with the lone worker.

  7. السؤال 7 من 25

    How often must BC working alone procedures be reviewed?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. At least once a year, and sooner if something changes

    BC requires at least an annual review, and an earlier one if the work changes or the procedures are reported not to work.

  8. السؤال 8 من 25

    Under Alberta's working alone rules, what must the employer provide?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. An effective way to communicate and regular contact suited to the hazards

    Alberta requires a hazard assessment and an effective means of communication, with contact at regular intervals.

  9. السؤال 9 من 25

    In Alberta, what can the employer do if a radio or phone is not practical at a site?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. Visit the worker or have the worker check in at set times

    If electronic contact is not practical, Alberta allows visits or scheduled check-ins instead.

  10. السؤال 10 من 25

    In Ontario, what must a workplace violence program include for lone guards and other workers?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Ways to summon immediate assistance

    Ontario's OHSA requires the violence program to include measures for summoning immediate assistance.

  11. السؤال 11 من 25

    What is a code word used for in a check-in system?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. To signal you need help when you cannot speak freely

    A code word lets you ask for help without alerting someone who may be listening.

  12. السؤال 12 من 25

    Why should a check-in plan name a backup contact?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. So someone still answers if the main contact is unavailable

    If the main contact is busy or out of reach, a backup makes sure check-ins are still answered.

  13. السؤال 13 من 25

    You work at a rural site with poor cell coverage. What is the best choice?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. Use a radio, satellite device or other backup that works there

    Communication tools must work where you are; poor coverage calls for a backup device.

  14. السؤال 14 من 25

    Some lone worker devices send an alarm automatically. When might this happen?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. When the worker does not reset the device in time

    These devices raise an alarm if they are not reset within a set time, in case the worker cannot call.

  15. السؤال 15 من 25

    What should you do with your radio or phone at the start of each shift?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Test it and make sure it is charged

    A device that is dead or broken cannot get you help, so test and charge it first.

  16. السؤال 16 من 25

    You arrive at a site and see a smashed door. What should you do as a lone guard?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Stay back, report it and wait for police or backup

    A lone guard should not enter a possible break-in alone; observe, report and wait for help.

  17. السؤال 17 من 25

    Why should a lone guard vary patrol times and routes?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. So no one can predict where the guard will be

    Predictable patrols make it easier for someone to avoid you or target you.

  18. السؤال 18 من 25

    Where is the safest place to park on a lone night patrol?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. In a well-lit spot, facing out so you can leave quickly

    Parking in light and facing out helps you see and leave quickly if needed.

  19. السؤال 19 من 25

    A person on site is acting aggressively toward you and you are alone. What is the best approach?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Keep your distance, leave if needed and call for help

    Lone guards should not confront people alone; distance and calling for help keep you safe.

  20. السؤال 20 من 25

    You feel too tired to work safely on a night shift. What should you do?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: B. Tell your supervisor

    Fatigue slows reactions and judgment, so raise it with your supervisor.

  21. السؤال 21 من 25

    A guard misses a check-in. What should the monitoring person do first?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: D. Try to reach the guard right away by radio and phone

    The first step is to try to make contact at once, then follow the plan if there is no answer.

  22. السؤال 22 من 25

    A guard still cannot be reached after all contact methods and there are signs of danger. What should happen?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. Call 911 and send someone to the last known location

    If the guard cannot be found or there are signs of danger, emergency help is needed without delay.

  23. السؤال 23 من 25

    You know you will miss a check-in because you are handling an incident. What should you do?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: C. Tell dispatch as soon as it is safe

    Letting dispatch know prevents confusion and makes sure they know you are busy, not hurt.

  24. السؤال 24 من 25

    Why should you report a radio dead zone on your patrol route?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. So the employer can update the hazard assessment and fix the gap

    Hazard reports help improve the plan and protect every guard on the post.

  25. السؤال 25 من 25

    Which step should be recorded when a missed check-in is escalated?
    أظهر الإجابة

    الإجابة: A. Each action taken and the time it was taken

    A written record of each step and time shows what was done and helps improve the procedure.

  • In Ontario, an employer's workplace violence program must include ways for workers to summon immediate assistance.

الأسئلة الشائعة

How often should a lone security guard check in?

There is no single national number. The interval is set by the employer based on the risks of the post, and higher-risk work needs more frequent checks. In BC, the interval must be set with input from the worker and the safety committee or representative.

What happens if I miss a check-in?

The person monitoring you should try to reach you, then follow the written plan. That usually means sending someone to check on you and calling 911 if you still cannot be reached.

Do all provinces have working alone rules?

Not in the same way. BC and Alberta have specific working alone rules. Ontario covers the risk mainly through its workplace violence rules. Check the rules where you work.

Is a cell phone enough for a lone worker?

Only if it works reliably at your site and is part of a check-in system. In places with poor coverage, use a radio, satellite device or another backup.
