Which of the following is an example of an ergonomic hazard in the workplace?
Repetitive motions
Loud noise
Exposure to chemicals
Uneven floor surfaces
Repetitive motions strain muscles and joints, making them a common ergonomic hazard. Other hazards like wet floors or loud noise fall under physical or environmental categories, not ergonomics.
What is the primary purpose of personal protective equipment (PPE)?
To increase attire aesthetics
To protect employees from workplace hazards
To replace safety training
To improve work efficiency
PPE is designed to act as a barrier between hazards and the user. It does not replace training but supplements controls to reduce injury risk.
What should be the first action when a building fire alarm sounds?
Evacuate the building immediately
Investigate the source of the alarm
Call your manager from your workstation
Gather personal belongings
Evacuation is the primary response to a fire alarm to ensure personal safety. Attempting to gather belongings or investigate can delay escape and increase harm.
Which of the following best helps maintain clear exit routes?
Storing boxes near emergency doors
Placing equipment randomly
Locking emergency exits during working hours
Keeping walkways and aisles free of obstructions
Keeping aisles and walkways free of obstacles ensures that exit routes remain accessible in emergencies. Obstructed paths can slow evacuation and increase the risk of injury.
Which signage is most important to comply with in hazard areas?
Holiday decorations
Non-safety related notices
Promotional posters
Warning and danger signs
Warning and danger signs communicate critical hazard information directly where it's needed. Complying with these signs reduces the risk of accidents in marked areas.
Which hazard is most closely associated with inhalation risks in the workplace?
Sharp edges
Excessive noise
Slippery floors
Dust and airborne chemicals
Dust and airborne chemicals can be inhaled, posing respiratory hazards. Other options like slippery floors and noise relate to different risk types.
After evacuating a building, employees should proceed to:
The nearest parking lot entrance
Their manager's office
The designated assembly point
The loading dock
Assembly points are predetermined safe locations where headcounts verify everyone's evacuation. Going to other areas can delay accountability and rescue efforts.
A key factor that increases the likelihood of slip and fall accidents is:
Bright overhead lighting
Poor housekeeping and stray debris on floors
Scheduled maintenance
Smooth, clean surfaces
Debris and spills create traction loss, leading to slips and falls. In contrast, clean surfaces and proper lighting reduce, rather than increase, accident risks.
Which type of PPE is most appropriate when handling corrosive chemicals?
Cut-resistant gloves
Chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles
High-visibility vest
Steel-toed boots
Corrosive chemicals can damage skin and eyes, so gloves and goggles rated for chemical resistance are essential. Other PPE types do not offer sufficient protection against chemical splashes.
Under most occupational safety regulations, employers are required to:
Delegate safety responsibilities solely to employees
Allow workers to opt out of safety procedures
Conduct operations without supervision
Provide safety training and appropriate PPE
Regulations typically mandate that employers provide necessary safety training and appropriate PPE to protect workers. Opting out or shifting responsibilities contradicts legal safety obligations.
A lockout/tagout procedure is used to:
Prevent accidental energization of equipment during maintenance
Increase machine productivity
Notify customers of service schedules
Track inventory usage
Lockout/tagout procedures isolate energy sources to prevent unexpected start-up during maintenance. This control specifically targets the accidental energization hazard.
In the hierarchy of controls, which measure is considered the most effective?
Administrative controls
Warning signs
Personal protective equipment
Elimination of the hazard
Elimination removes the hazard at its source, making it the most effective control. Other controls like PPE or administrative measures rely on human behavior and are less reliable.
During a medical emergency at the workplace, the first step should be to:
Continue working until someone else notices
Move the victim without assessing the situation
Call for professional medical assistance
Attempt complex medical procedures
Calling for professional medical assistance ensures the victim receives appropriate care quickly. Acting without proper assessment or training can worsen injuries.
Which of the following indicates an electrical hazard?
Frayed or damaged power cords
Insulated wiring confirmed intact
Well-labeled circuit breakers
Properly grounded outlets
Frayed or damaged power cords expose live wires, creating a shock or fire hazard. Proper grounding and intact wiring are signs of electrical safety, not hazards.
To protect hearing in a loud manufacturing area, an employee should use:
Earplugs or earmuffs rated for noise reduction
Anti-slip footwear
Flame-resistant clothing
Safety glasses with side shields
Hearing protection rated for the noise level reduces the risk of hearing loss in loud environments. Other PPE items do not address noise hazards.
After identifying a hazard, what is the next step in the risk assessment process?
Purchasing personal protective equipment
Analyzing the likelihood and severity of potential harm
Ignoring hazards with low visibility
Posting warning signs immediately
After pinpointing hazards, assessing how likely and severe potential incidents are directs appropriate control measures. Skipping this step can lead to underestimating or overestimating risks.
A safety audit reveals missing records for employee safety training. What is the most effective corrective action?
Advise employees to read manuals on their own time
Remove safety signage until training is complete
Schedule required training sessions and document attendance
Outsource training records management entirely
Scheduling the missing training and keeping attendance records addresses both the root issue and documentation gap. Advising self-study or neglecting signage does not ensure compliance.
Which practice best supports a proactive safety culture?
Reducing frequency of safety meetings
Limiting access to safety reports
Encouraging reporting of near misses without blame
Fining employees for all reported incidents
A blame-free near-miss reporting system encourages early identification and correction before incidents occur. Punitive approaches discourage reporting and hinder safety improvements.
When designing an emergency evacuation plan for a multi-floor facility, which factor is most critical?
Calculating occupant load and exit route capacity
Scheduling monthly social events
Painting walls in bright colors
Selecting the most aesthetically pleasing signage
Accurate occupant load and route capacity calculations ensure evacuation plans can handle the building population safely. Aesthetic choices don't impact the plan's effectiveness.
To ensure proper use of a respirator against airborne contaminants, you must:
Select the appropriate respirator type and perform a fit test
Wear any available mask regardless of contaminant
Use a respirator only when visibly dirty
Share respirators among workers without cleaning
Respirator effectiveness depends on matching the device to the contaminant and securing a proper fit. Without fit testing, leaks may expose the user to harmful substances.
