Under which circumstance should you call 911 immediately?

If another worker has swallowed a cleaning chemical
If someone is feeling faint
If someone has a headache

The correct answer is: If another worker has swallowed a cleaning chemical

In situations where a worker has swallowed a cleaning chemical, it is crucial to call 911 immediately. This is because ingesting harmful substances can lead to severe health issues or even life-threatening situations. Chemicals often have toxic properties and their ingestion can cause chemical burns, organ damage, or poisoning, all of which require immediate medical intervention. Prompt action is vital in such cases, as timing can greatly affect the outcome. Medical professionals need to evaluate the situation and potentially administer specific treatments or antidotes based on the type of chemical ingested. In contrast, while minor cuts, feelings of faintness, and headaches may warrant medical attention, they do not typically require the urgency of an emergency call like a chemical ingestion does.
