During indoor deployment, which action is not a recommended safety consideration?

• A. Extend exposure to the entire area to ensure coverage.
• B. Limit exposure to the immediate target.
• C. Warn bystanders.
• D. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Answer: (A)

During indoor deployment, the priority is to limit exposure and protect bystanders. Extending exposure to the entire area would unnecessarily expose others to the irritant and create greater risk, so it isn’t a recommended safety practice. The safer approach is to restrict exposure to the immediate target to minimize collateral effects. Warning bystanders helps people move away or take shelter, reducing potential injuries. Ensuring adequate ventilation helps disperse the spray and lower lingering concentrations, supporting a safer environment for everyone nearby.
