In general, public mode notification is intended to be heard by whom?

• A. Audible only
• B. Management only
• C. Public address system users
• D. All occupants

Answer: (D)

Public mode notification is designed to reach everyone inside the building. The goal is to ensure that all people present—employees, visitors, customers, and anyone else in the space—hear the emergency message and instructions, so they can take appropriate action. It isn’t limited to just audible signals for a specific person or group, nor is it restricted to the people who operate the PA. By design, it communicates to all occupants, making the correct choice all occupants.
