DOMAIN 1: SAFETY, OSHA, AND PPE (Questions 1-25)
Question 1
An AGMT candidate is preparing for the Knowledge-Based Test. Which
OSHA standard is most directly applicable to glazing work at heights?
A) 29 CFR 1910.134 (Respiratory Protection)
B) 29 CFR 1926.501 (Fall Protection)
C) 29 CFR 1910.147 (Lockout/Tagout)
D) 29 CFR 1926.651 (Excavations)
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: 29 CFR 1926.501 is the OSHA Fall Protection standard
applicable to construction activities. Glaziers frequently work at heights
on scaffolding, swing stages, or ladders, making fall protection the most
critical safety concern.
,Question 2
A glazier is installing glass panels on a 10-story building using a swing
stage. What is the minimum fall protection required?
A) Safety nets only
B) Guardrails only
C) Personal fall arrest system (PFAS) with a full-body harness and
lanyard
D) Warning lines
Correct ,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: When working from suspended scaffolds or swing stages at

cutting or grinding metal framing profiles?
A) Safety goggles, hearing protection, and a dust mask or respirator
B) Leather gloves only
C) Hard hat and safety vest only
D) Wool gloves
Correct ,,answer,,,: A
Rationale: Cutting and grinding metal creates flying debris, loud noise,
and hazardous dust. Safety goggles protect eyes, hearing protection
,prevents noise-induced hearing loss, and dust masks or respirators
prevent inhalation of metal particles.
Question 4
What is the minimum work experience required to be eligible for AGMT
certification?
A) 2,000 hours (1 year)
B) 5,000 hours (2.5 years)
C) 7,500 hours within five years of glazing-related work experience

A) The swing stage rail
B) A structural anchor point capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds
C) The building's window frame
D) Another worker's harness
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
, Rationale: Personal fall arrest systems must be anchored to a structure
capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per worker. Swing stage
rails, window frames, and other workers are not acceptable anchorage
points.
Question 6
What is the primary hazard when handling broken glass on a job site?
A) Electrical shock
B) Lacerations from sharp edges and shards
C) Chemical burns
D) Asbestos exposure
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: Broken glass creates sharp edges and shards that can cause

and careful handling procedures are essential when working with broken
glass.
Question 7
The AGMT Knowledge-Based Test emphasizes safety for which primary
reason?
A) OSHA requires certification for all glaziers
B) Glazing is a high-risk industry, and proper safety practices protect
workers
