Q: According to OSHA, at what height does general fall protection
become required in the construction industry? ANSWER 6 feet.
Q: At what height is fall protection required when working on a leading
edge? ANSWER 6 feet (though some standards require it at 4 feet for
leading edges depending on the specific standard, OSHA 1926.501
generally states 6 feet for leading edges in construction).
Q: What type of personal protective equipment (PPE) is absolutely
required when handling glass? ANSWER Cut-resistant gloves (Kevlar
or similar) and safety glasses with side shields.
Q: What is the minimum required rating for cut-resistant gloves used in
glass handling? ANSWER ANSI A4 or higher is recommended for
architectural glass.
Q: What does the "Lockout/Tagout" (LOTO) standard (OSHA 1910.147)
pertain to? ANSWER Ensuring that dangerous machines or equipment
are properly shut off and unable to be started up again before
maintenance or servicing work is completed.
Q: What must be inspected before using a suction cup (vacuum lifter) to
move glass? ANSWER The vacuum pad for cuts, tears, or deterioration,
the vacuum pump/gauge for proper operation, and the battery/charge
level.
Q: What is the minimum overlap required when using multiple suction
cups to lift a glass lite? ANSWER There is no strict "overlap," but cups
,must be placed symmetrically to balance the load and prevent
flexing/twisting of the glass.
Q: What is the proper protocol if a suction cup loses vacuum while
lifting a glass lite in the air? ANSWER Immediately alert the crew,
clear the area below, and safely lower the glass using secondary
rigging if available, or set it down on a safe, flat surface.
Q: When using an extension ladder to access a storefront, what is the
proper setback ratio? ANSWER 1 foot back for every 4 feet of ladder
height (4:1 ratio).
Q: How far must an extension ladder extend above the upper landing
surface? ANSWER At least 3 feet.
Q: What is a "Material Safety Data Sheet" (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) used for? ANSWER To provide information on the chemical
properties, hazards, handling, and first aid measures for chemicals
used on the job (like sealants and cleaners).
Q: What is the primary hazard of inhaling dust from cutting or grinding
aluminum or glass? ANSWER Silicosis or other respiratory illnesses.
Q: What type of respirator is typically required when grinding aluminum
or cutting glass without wet cutting methods? ANSWER An N95 or
higher particulate respirator.
Q: What is the correct lifting posture for picking up a heavy box of glass
or metal framing? ANSWER Bend at the knees, keep the back straight,
and lift with the leg muscles.
Q: What is a "hot work" permit? ANSWER A permit required for
welding, cutting, or brazing operations to ensure fire prevention
measures are in place.
Q: What class of fire extinguisher is used for electrical fires involving
power tools or equipment? ANSWER Class C.
Q: What class of fire extinguisher is used for combustible metals (like
titanium, which is sometimes used in framing)? ANSWER Class D.
Q: What is the hierarchy of hazard controls? ANSWER Elimination,
Substitution, Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls, and PPE.
, Q: Who is responsible for conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)?
ANSWER The supervisor or foreman, often with input from the workers
performing the task.
Q: What does "GFCI" stand for, and what does it do? ANSWER Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter; it protects against electrical shock by breaking
the circuit if it detects a ground fault.
Q: When operating a manlift/aerial work platform, what must you wear?
ANSWER A full-body harness with a lanyard attached to an approved
anchor point inside the basket.
Q: What is the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry?
ANSWER Falls.
Q: What should you do if you discover a chip or crack in a piece of glass
during installation? ANSWER Stop work immediately, notify the
foreman, and do not attempt to install the damaged glass.
Q: What is the maximum weight an individual should attempt to lift
without mechanical assistance? ANSWER 50 pounds (though many
companies set lower limits like 35 lbs).
Q: What color are "Caution" safety signs typically? ANSWER Yellow.
Q: What color are "Danger" safety signs typically? ANSWER Red, black,
and white.
Q: What does "NFPA 101" refer to? ANSWER The Life Safety Code.
Q: What is a "safety glazing" requirement? ANSWER Building codes
require safety glazing (tempered or laminated glass) in hazardous
locations like doors, sidelites, and low windows to prevent severe
lacerations upon human impact.
Q: Who has the authority to stop work on a jobsite due to an unsafe
condition? ANSWER Every worker on the site has the right and
responsibility to stop work for imminent danger.
Q: What is the proper way to store glass on a jobsite? ANSWER On a
flat, level surface, on 2x4 blocking, leaning against a solid racking
system at a slight angle (approximately 4-6 degrees from vertical).
