Which action is part of the standard accident reporting protocol?

• A. Notify dispatch/supervisor, secure the scene, assist the injured, and complete an incident report per policy
• B. Post an incident on social media
• C. Prolong delays while route continues
• D. Ignore incident until end of day

Answer: (A)

The action that fits standard accident reporting protocol centers on safety, official response, and documentation. Promptly notifying the dispatch or supervisor, securing the scene to prevent further harm, assisting any injured individuals within your capability, and completing an incident report per policy ensures immediate protection, proper follow-up, and a formal record. This sequence keeps students safe, gets the right people involved quickly, and provides accurate information for investigations, insurance, and corrective actions.

Posting about the incident on social media can violate privacy and distract responders. Prolonging delays while the route continues creates unnecessary risk. Ignoring the incident until later fails to protect students and may breach policy and legal duties.
