QUESTION 1
What is the maximum height from which a worker can fall before OSHA
requires fall protection in construction?
A) 6 feet
,B) 8 feet
C) 10 feet
D) 12 feet
E) 15 feet
CORRECT ANSWER: A) 6 feet
Rationale: OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.500) mandate that fall protection
systems must be provided at heights of 6 feet or more above lower levels. This is
the universal standard for construction work in Florida and across the United
States. Falls from 6 feet or greater can result in serious injury or death, making this
threshold critical for worker safety.

QUESTION 2
Which type of personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory when
cutting tempered glass?
A) Safety glasses only
B) Safety glasses, gloves, and a dust mask
C) Face shield and hard hat
D) Respirator and full body suit
E) Knee pads and steel-toed boots
CORRECT ANSWER: B) Safety glasses, gloves, and a dust mask
Rationale: When cutting tempered glass, multiple hazards exist: flying glass
particles can cause eye injury, sharp edges can cut hands, and fine glass dust can
be inhaled. OSHA and industry standards require safety glasses to protect eyes,
heavy-duty gloves to protect hands from sharp edges, and a dust mask to prevent
inhalation of glass particles. This combination addresses all primary hazards
associated with glass cutting.

QUESTION 3
What is the proper first aid treatment for a deep laceration caused by broken
glass?
A) Apply direct pressure, elevate the wound, and seek medical attention
B) Rinse with water and apply a bandage
C) Pour hydrogen peroxide on the wound immediately
D) Apply a tourniquet above the wound
E) Cover with plastic wrap and wait for swelling to reduce
CORRECT ANSWER: A) Apply direct pressure, elevate the wound, and seek
medical attention
Rationale: For deep lacerations, the priority is to stop bleeding and prevent
infection. Direct pressure controls hemorrhage, elevation uses gravity to reduce
blood flow to the injured area, and seeking medical attention ensures proper
wound closure and evaluation for nerve or tendon damage. Hydrogen peroxide can
interfere with blood clotting, tourniquets are only for severe arterial bleeding, and
plastic wrap does not address the injury.

QUESTION 4
According to Florida Building Code, what is the minimum thickness required
for safety glass in commercial storefront installations?
A) 3/16 inch
B) 1/4 inch
C) 5/16 inch
, D) 3/8 inch
E) 1/2 inch
CORRECT ANSWER: B) 1/4 inch
Rationale: The Florida Building Code (based on the International Building Code)
mandates a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch for tempered safety glass in storefront
applications. This thickness provides sufficient impact resistance and structural
integrity to withstand accidental collisions, wind loads, and other environmental
stresses typical in commercial environments.

QUESTION 5
What is the safe lifting limit for an average worker without mechanical
assistance?
A) 25 pounds
B) 30 pounds
C) 40 pounds
D) 50 pounds
E) 60 pounds
CORRECT ANSWER: C) 40 pounds
Rationale: OSHA guidelines recommend that workers should not lift more than 40
pounds without assistance or mechanical aids. Lifting heavier items increases the
risk of back injury, muscle strain, and herniation. For loads exceeding 40 pounds,
workers should use lifting equipment such as dollies, carts, or mechanical lifts to
prevent workplace injuries.
