Explanation:

Identify the hazard

A rotten egg smell indicates a potential natural gas or propane leak, and feeling dizzy is a sign of physical distress or oxygen deprivation.

Evaluate the options

• Turning on a fan or operating electrical equipment can create a spark, igniting the gas.
• Continuing to work ignores a life-threatening hazard.
• Shutting off equipment takes time and risks creating sparks.
• Evacuating immediately to fresh air and notifying management prioritizes life safety.

Select the safest action

Immediate evacuation to fresh air is the standard emergency protocol for suspected gas leaks and physical symptoms.

Answer:

• Turn a fan on to get rid of the odor
• Immediately evacuate the area and get to fresh air and then notify Store Management (Correct answer)
• Assume that it is nothing and continue to work
• Shut off any equipment that operate on propane or natural gas and notify Store Management
