Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Live ammunition in a civilian industrial site presents an acute safety hazard to workers and nearby residents. Courses of action should prioritize immediate risk neutralization and systemic prevention.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Immediate closure (I) of affected operations controls access and prevents accidental initiation while bomb disposal squads clear and secure the area. An inquiry (II) is essential to trace supply-chain lapses (e.g., procurement of scrap containing munitions), verify compliance with hazardous-material protocols, and prescribe guardrails (inspection regimes, vendor vetting, training, signage, controlled scrap handling).
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Implement I: evacuate non-essential personnel, secure perimeter, call EOD (explosive ordnance disposal), catalog and remove items.2) Implement II: fact-finding on how ammunition entered the yard, revise SOPs, and enforce corrective actions across similar plants.3) Resume operations only after certified safe clearance.
Verification / Alternative check:
Industrial safety standards require cessation of operations in the presence of uncontrolled explosive hazards; parallel administrative inquiries are standard.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only I restores safety but misses system fixes; Only II leaves immediate hazard unmanaged; Either under-specifies; Neither ignores clear risks.
Common Pitfalls:
Continuing operations during hazard clearance; treating the incident as only procedural.
Final Answer:
Both I and II follow.
