What action should the No2 and No4 cabin crew take if a hazard is detected during refueling?

When a hazard is detected during refueling, the appropriate action for the No2 and No4 cabin crew is to re-arm the slide at any closed door that can be used for evacuation. This measure is crucial because it prepares the aircraft for a potential emergency evacuation scenario. By ensuring that the slides are armed, the cabin crew is taking proactive steps to protect the safety of passengers and crew should the situation escalate.

While other responses might seem relevant in different contexts, they do not effectively address the immediate needs during a potential hazardous situation. For instance, continuing normal operations would be reckless in the face of a detected hazard, as it ignores the seriousness of the situation. Similarly, evacuating all passengers could be premature and potentially dangerous without proper assessment or command from the captain. Notifying the captain of concerns is essential but does not provide the immediate precautionary measures needed to ensure the safety of everyone on board, such as being ready with evacuation slides.

By prioritizing the re-arming of the slides, the cabin crew ensures that they are fully prepared for any necessary emergency actions, reinforcing a critical aspect of safety protocol during refueling operations.
