Question: During a critical incident, you are ordered to perform a task that you are not fully trained for. What should you do?

Answer options:

  • Attempt the task quickly, hoping for the best.
  • Refuse the order outright, citing lack of training. ✅ Immediately communicate your lack of full training to your superior and ask for clarification, assistance, or redeployment.
  • Ask a nearby colleague to do it instead.

Correct answer: Immediately communicate your lack of full training to your superior and ask for clarification, assistance, or redeployment.

Explanation: Safety and effectiveness are paramount. Communicating your training deficit allows your superior to make an informed decision, ensuring the task is performed safely and correctly, or reassigning it to someone qualified. Attempting it or refusing it outright without explanation are both unsafe or uncooperative.
