Which statement best describes who maintains the Alarm Response Priority listing?

• A. By the Alarm Custodian
• B. By the Ess Nco
• C. By the On-Site Supervisor
• D. By the System Administrator

Answer: (B)

Keeping the Alarm Response Priority listing current is the responsibility of the ESS NCO. This role is charged with coordinating emergency response procedures and ensuring responders know the exact order of actions when an alarm sounds. The listing itself is a procedural guide that outlines who is alerted first, who stabilizes the situation, who provides support, and how to escalate as needed. Because maintaining this sequence requires a clear understanding of roles, contact information, and how procedures change over time, the ESS NCO is the natural fit to review, update, and distribute it, and to ensure training and drills reflect the current priorities. The Alarm Custodian focuses on the alarm equipment and access, the On-Site Supervisor implements actions on site but doesn’t typically manage the master priority order, and the System Administrator handles technical system configurations rather than the response hierarchy.
