This is what LO/TO stands for?

What is Lock Out/Tag Out

100

This is the form you use to lift anything weighing 500lbs or above AND being lifted above head Regardless of lifting equipment

NM Critical Lift Plan

100

This is the depth that you need an Intel Excavation Permit to dig

What is an Excavation permit.

Excavation Permits are required at 6” or greater.

100

This document is required to be accessible when chemicals are being used onsite

What is an SDS?

100

These three characteristics defines a confined space

Is large enough for an employee to enter and perform work

Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit

Is not designed for continuous occupancy.

200

This is when it is okay to give someone the key to your lock?

What is NEVER. 

Remember it is your lock and your key! Your life is on the line when working on the affected system.

200

These two things make a crane lift a Critical lift

What is Lifting more than 75% of the crane capacity and Use of multiple cranes.

200

These are the three main types of protective systems used in trenching

What is

  • Sloping: Cutting back the trench wall at an angle inclined away from the excavation.
  • Shoring: Using supports to prevent soil movement.
  • Shielding: Using trench boxes or other supports to protect workers within the trench.
200

These are what the 4 colors of the NFPA Diamon represent

What is Flammability hazards for Red, Health Hazard for Blue, Instability for Yellow and the Specific Hazard in White

200

This is the difference between a confined space and a permit-required confined space

A permit-required confined space has all the characteristics of a confined space and one or more of the hazard

300

This is the form used to remove locks that have been abandoned in the field.

What is an Abandoned Lock Form. 

These forms are a last resort to resolving locks that have been left behind. You must make at least two attempts at calling the person who owns the Lock and tag.

300

This is how often is a pre-lift meeting is required

What is prior to daily crane activities?

300

This is the depth at which a protective system (shoring, shielding, or sloping) is required in a trench

What is 5 feet. 

A competent person may also determine that a system is needed at less than 5 feet if there is a risk of cave-in.

300

This is what GHS stands for

What is Globally Harmonized System?

300

What are some common hazards found in confined spaces

Common confined space hazards include

Lack of oxygen or oxygen-enriched environment

Toxic gases or vapors (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide)

Flammable atmospheres

 Engulfment by liquids or loose solids

Physical hazards such as moving parts or extreme temperatures

400

These are three types of LO/TO devices

Here are a few types we will see:

  • Clam Shells
  • Bulldogs
  • Valve Locks
  • Cable Lockouts
400

This Safety device should be fitted (where applicable) to the hook block to prevent sling form dislodging

What is a Safety catch on the mouth of the hook

400

This is when it is necessary to test the atmosphere inside a trench

What is 4 Feet?

Atmospheric testing is required when a trench is deeper than 4 feet or there is a possibility of a hazardous atmosphere, such as low oxygen, flammable gases, or toxic substances

400

These five elements are required on the Hazardous Waste container label. 

What are the words "Hazardous Waste", list of contents, Characteristic, Contact information (e.g. Co. name & address) and the Date (when full)?


NOTE: Chemical abbreviations are not allowed on the label

400

Atmospheric testing is conducted to ensure the air in the confined space is safe to breathe and free from which hazardous conditions

Low Oxygen levels

Flammable gases or vapors

Toxic substances

500

This is the sequence of Locking and Tagging out a system

  • Facilities turns off circuit or closes valve.
  • System owner places custodial tags.
  • Trades verify system is in a safe state and places their Lock.
  • Work can commence
500

Before a rigger can select the length and capacity of slings needed to lift a load, these two things must be known

What is the Weight and center of gravity?

500

This type of soil is considered the least stable in trenching and excavation work

What is Type C soil?

Type C Soil is the least stable and most hazardous type of soil classification used in trenching and excavation work, as defined by OSHA.

It includes:

  • Granular soils like sand, gravel, and loamy sand
  • Soil that is submerged, water-saturated, or seeping water
  • Previously disturbed soil (backfilled or excavated soil)
500

This is the number of Hazard Classes recognized 

What is 9

500

These are the two responsibilities of a confined space attendant

Monitors the workers inside the space

Maintains communication with entrants

Alerts rescue services if an emergency occurs 

Prevents unauthorized entry
