Which action is included in the responsibilities of the senior person at the scene of an accident?

• A. That preserved wreckage is secured by guards or law enforcement persons until arrival of the NTSB
• B. That any US mail is protected from damage
• C. That all personnel cooperate with and render all possible assistance to NTSB investigators
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The on-scene senior has duties focused on preserving evidence, facilitating the investigation, and ensuring proper cooperation. Securing the wreckage until the NTSB arrives protects intact evidence and prevents disturbance that could affect findings. Protecting any mail involved keeps that potential evidence intact and unaltered for the investigation. And ensuring all personnel cooperate with and render all possible assistance to NTSB investigators helps the agency gather necessary facts, access information, and conduct interviews efficiently. When all three elements are included, the complete on-scene responsibilities are covered, so choosing all of these actions is correct.
