Respirators are an important component of PPE. Take the Respiratory Protection quiz for more information.

200

It is okay to remove safeguards if you’re an experienced hand and power tool operator.

(A) True

(B) False

Safeguards must not be removed from tools under any circumstances. For instance, a portable circular saw (that has a blade greater than 5.08 centimeters or 2 inches) should always be outfitted with guards. The entire blade of the saw should be covered with an upper guard. The teeth of the saw should be covered with a retractable lower guard except when the saw touches the work surface. The lower guard should return to the covering position automatically when the tool is removed from the work surface.

200

When you cannot lockout the energy isolating device of a machine, you must still attach the tagout device to it, and complete the tagout procedures.

(A) True

(B) False

(A) True

When locking out the energy-isolating devices of a machine is not possible, you must securely fix a tagout device to it as close as safely carefully as possible to the energy- isolating device. Position the device so that it is immediately visible to anyone trying to operate the associated machinery.

200

Which of the following is the most common symptom of a heart attack?

(A) Nausea

(B) Shortness of breath

(D) Cough

According to Medline Plus at the National Institutes of Health, chest pain is the most common symptom of a heart attack. Chest pain may present in only one part of the patient’s body, or shift from the chest to shoulder, arms, neck, jaw, belly or back.

300

You are at no risk of slipping on a dry, even surface.

(A) True

(B) False

Dry conditions can also cause slips. Dry contaminants such as dust, powder, granules, wood, plastic, lint, etc. make dry surfaces slippery. Polished surfaces such as a marble or ceramics can be extremely slippery too, even when dry.

300

If you wear prescription lenses, you do not need additional eye protection against occupational eye hazards.

(A) True

(B) False

According to OSHA, prescription lenses are not sufficient protection against occupational eye and face hazards. Employees using corrective lenses must either wear prescription-equipped eye protection, or wear additional eye protection over the prescription lenses or glasses. Thus, it should be made sure that any eye protection does not obstruct the positioning of the prescription lenses.

300

Dull tools can be just as hazardous as sharp ones.

(A) True

(B) False

(A) True

A dull tool requires more effort and force on the part of the operator. Moreover, a dull tool may not grab the work material properly and as a result may kick back, hitting the operator or nearby workers.

Before implementing energy control procedures or performing maintenance and/or servicing operations, you should know…

(A) The sources of hazardous energy

(B) The magnitude and type of hazardous energy sources at the workplace

300

You are not required to ask a victim’s permission to perform first aid.

(A) True

(B) False

Practitioners of first aid need to obtain advance consent or permission, the so-called “expressed consent” from the patient. To obtain consent, you should identify yourself, describe your level of medical training, and ask if it is all right to help. While administering first aid to an unresponsive victim, consent is implied or assumed, given that a reasonable person would grant permission to receive first aid care if able to do so.

Personal Protective Equipment is required when -

(A) Employers suffer an injury

(B) The employees suffer an injury

(D) Engineering, work practice, and administrative controls do not provide sufficient protection against hazards

OSHA recommends controlling the hazard at its source as the ideal way to protect workers against hazards. Engineering or workplace practice controls should be used on the basis of the hazard present at a workplace. However, when work practice, engineering, and administrative controls do not offer sufficient protection, employers must provide workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) and make sure workers use them.

400

While working near flammable substances, one should avoid iron or steel hand tools.

(A) True

(B) False

(A) True

Steel or iron hand tools can produce sparks, serving as a source of ignition when adjacent to flammable substances. To avoid this, stick to non-ferrous materials in flammable environments. Non-ferrous materials don’t contain iron and are spark-resistant, so they should be utilized wherever highly volatile liquids, flammable gases, or any explosive materials are used or stored.

400

A tagout device must-

(A) Warn employees with instruction such as “Do Not Start,” “Do Not Open,” “Do Not Close,” “Do Not Energize,” or “Do Not Operate.”

500

Which of the following is the leading cause for falling fatalities?

(A) Slippery tiles

(B) Ladders

(D) Tripping over objects

(B) Face protection

(D) Both a and b

OSHA requires that eye or face protection be provided to employees who are exposed to hazards from molten metal, flying particles, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, liquid chemicals, infected material, or dangerous light radiation.

500

An abrasive wheel is checked for cracks or defects with a…

(A) Sound or ring Test

(B) Hit and trial Test

(D) X-ray machine

(A) Sound or ring Test

According to OSHA, an abrasive wheel must be sound- or ring-tested for cracks and defects before it is mounted. To test the wheel, one should tap the wheel lightly with a nimble, non-metallic instrument. If the wheel sounds dead or cracked, it should not be used, as it can break apart during operation. If a “ring” or clear metallic tone is heard, it means that the wheel is undamaged.

500

Lockout devices should be standardized within the facility by using the same

(A) Color

(B) Shape

(D) Any one of the above

OSHA standard 1910.147(c)(5)(ii)(B) says, "Lockout and tagout devices shall be standardized within the facility in at least one of the following criteria: Color; shape; or size; and additionally, in the case of tagout devices, print and format shall be standardized."
