Part 1: Hazard Communication & Health (GHS/SDS)
1. Under the Global Harmonized System (GHS), which SDS section contains
information about First Aid measures?
A) Section 1
B) Section 4
C) Section 8
D) Section 16
Section 4 provides immediate medical instructions for untrained responders in case of
exposure.
2. In the GHS labeling system, a Hazard Category of "1" indicates:
A) The least severe hazard
B) The most severe hazard
C) A non-hazardous substance
D) Information is unknown
GHS is opposite to some older systems; 1 is the highest danger, while 4 or 5 is the
lowest.
3. On an NFPA 704 diamond, the Blue quadrant represents:
A) Flammability
B) Reactivity
C) Health Hazard
D) Special Hazards
Blue = Health, Red = Fire, Yellow = Reactivity, White = Special.
4. Who is responsible for providing and paying for most Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE)?
A) The employee
B) The employer
C) OSHA
D) The union
, OSHA standards mandate that employers must provide and pay for PPE required for
the job.
5. A "Chronic" health effect is best described as:
A) An immediate reaction to a chemical
B) A long-term effect occurring after repeated exposure
C) A physical injury like a broken bone
D) A minor skin rash that disappears in an hour
Chronic refers to long-term (like asbestosis); Acute refers to immediate (like a chemical
burn).
Part 2: Fall Protection & Walking-Working Surfaces
6. In general industry, fall protection is required when working at heights of at
least:
A) 3 feet
B) 4 feet
C) 6 feet
D) 10 feet
OSHA requires protection at 4' in general industry, 5' in shipyards, and 6' in
construction.
7. A personal fall arrest system must be rigged so that an employee cannot free fall
more than:
A) 2 feet
B) 4 feet
C) 6 feet
D) 10 feet
To prevent excessive force on the body, the free fall must be limited to 6 feet.
8. The top rail of a standard guardrail system must be at a height of:
A) 32 inches
B) 42 inches (+/- 3 inches)
C) 48 inches
D) 52 inches
The mid-rail is typically placed at 21 inches.
, 9. Ladders must extend at least how many feet above the landing surface?

C) 3 feet
D) 5 feet
This provides a secure handhold for the worker stepping onto the roof or platform.
10. The "4-to-1 rule" for extension ladders means:
A) 4 people can climb at once
B) For every 4 feet of height, the base should be 1 foot away from the wall
C) The ladder must be replaced every 4 years
D) 4 points of contact are always required
This angle ensures the ladder is stable and won't tip or slide.
Part 3: Electrical Safety & Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
11. The primary purpose of a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) program is to:
A) Prevent tool theft
B) Prevent the accidental startup of machinery during service or maintenance
C) Save electricity
D) Identify who is working on the machine
LOTO prevents "unexpected energization" which can be fatal.
12. Who is the ONLY person allowed to remove a lockout bolt or tag?
A) The supervisor
B) The safety manager
C) The authorized employee who applied it
D) The machine operator on the next shift
Safety rules dictate that "My Life, My Lock" applies—only the installer removes it.
13. What does a "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter" (GFCI) do?
A) Protects equipment from power surges
B) Detects small leaks in electrical current and shuts off power to prevent shock
C) Acts as a main power switch
D) Increases the voltage of a circuit
GFCIs are required in wet or damp locations.
