NSVault is unofficial. These answers are a study reference, not medical advice or current safety orders. Follow your unit's current instructions and official guidance.

Question 1​

I should call 1733 if a casualty is recommended by a medic to be evacuated to the medical centre as an urgent case.

Answer: True

Question 2​

In an event of a CAT 1 lightning risk alert, I should stay away from tall isolated trees, lamp posts, and open areas even when it is not raining.

Answer: True

Question 3​

My MC ended 2 days ago. I can participate in the IPPT today.

Answer: False

Question 4​

Temperature taking should be supervised in a parade form with buddy-level verification.

Answer: True

Question 5​

Extreme fatigue, severe muscle cramps, fainting spells, and disorientation are symptoms of heat injury.

Answer: True

Question 6​

For 2nd-year soldiers and NSmen, the baseline hydration for a normal, non-strenuous work day is 4 L. During hot months, hydration requirements for 2nd-year soldiers should be 7 L instead of the baseline 4 L.

Answer: True

Question 7​

Answer: False

Question 8​

I can take part in strenuous physical activities within an hour after my meal.

Answer: False

Question 9​

After live firing, I must visually observe that the weapon chamber is clear before inserting my weapon chamber flag (WCF), if applicable.

Answer: True

Question 10​

Open reporting of safety issues allows us to prevent a serious accident that could happen in the future.

Answer: Unresolved. The contributor submitted False here and True for the identical statement in Question 15.

MINDEF's statement on open reporting (5 November 2020) explains that reporting unsafe practices and near misses helps share lessons and prevent future accidents. This supports True as the safety principle; it does not verify the marked answer in the 2026 test.

Answer: True

Question 14​

Answer: False

Open reporting of safety issues allows us to prevent a serious accident that could happen in the future.

Answer: True

The contributor submitted False for this same statement in Question 10. That discrepancy remains unresolved.
