Construction Safety Final Exam Complete Guide
Identify hazards that may be present when lifting materials ✔️✔️Before handling any material, assess
the task and any potential hazards.
Check to make sure the load is not too big, too heavy, or hard to grasp.
Make sure the load does not have protruding nails, wires, or sharp edges.
Make sure the material is something you are able to lift by yourself. If not, ask a co-worker for
assistance.
Inspect your path of travel. Look out for hazards that could cause slips, trips, or falls.
If there are hazards in the path of travel, move them or go around them.
Always read the warning labels or instructions on materials before they are moved, and be aware of the
potential dangers if a particular product is spilled.
Wear the proper clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) when moving or handling materials.
Wear gloves, and avoid jewelry and loose hair or clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing that can get caught in moving parts.

caught on moving objects or machinery.
