1. A Texas Workplace Safety Manager is conducting a Job Hazard
Analysis (JHA) for a manufacturing facility. What is the primary
purpose of a JHA?
A. To identify employee performance issues
B. To identify hazards associated with specific job tasks before incidents
occur
C. To determine payroll classifications
D. To replace all OSHA inspections
Answer: B. To identify hazards associated with specific job tasks
before incidents occur
Rationale: A Job Hazard Analysis systematically examines each step of
a job to identify existing and potential hazards, allowing employers to
implement engineering controls, administrative controls, or PPE before
injuries occur.
2. Under the OSHA General Duty Clause, employers must:
A. Eliminate every possible workplace hazard
B. Provide a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause
death or serious physical harm
C. Guarantee employees will never be injured
D. Conduct inspections only after an accident
1
,Answer: B. Provide a workplace free from recognized hazards likely
to cause death or serious physical harm
Rationale: Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act
requires employers to furnish a workplace free of recognized hazards
capable of causing serious injury or death.
3. Which level of the Hierarchy of Controls is considered the most
effective?
A. Personal Protective Equipment
B. Administrative Controls
C. Engineering Controls
D. Elimination
Answer: D. Elimination
Rationale: Eliminating the hazard entirely removes employee exposure
and provides the greatest level of protection.
4. Which OSHA recordkeeping form summarizes annual
occupational injuries and illnesses?
A. OSHA Form 300A
B. OSHA Form 301
C. OSHA Form 200
D. OSHA Form 101
Answer: A. OSHA Form 300A
Rationale: OSHA Form 300A provides the annual summary of
recordable workplace injuries and illnesses that must be posted during
the required posting period.

, 5. A safety manager discovers workers bypassing machine guards to
increase production. What should be the immediate priority?
A. Ignore until production slows
B. Remove machine guards permanently
C. Stop work, restore guarding, and investigate root causes
D. Discipline all employees immediately without investigation
Answer: C. Stop work, restore guarding, and investigate root causes
Rationale: Machine guarding protects workers from catastrophic
injuries. Unsafe operations should stop immediately while hazards are
corrected and underlying causes addressed.
6. Which OSHA standard primarily governs Lockout/Tagout?
A. 29 CFR 1910.147
B. 29 CFR 1910.1200
C. 29 CFR 1910.134
D. 29 CFR 1910.95
Answer: A. 29 CFR 1910.147
Rationale: The Control of Hazardous Energy Standard establishes
procedures for isolating energy sources during servicing and
maintenance.
7. Before entering a permit-required confined space, atmospheric
testing should normally be conducted in which order?
A. Carbon monoxide, oxygen, combustible gases
B. Oxygen, combustible gases, toxic gases
C. Toxic gases, combustible gases, oxygen
D. Combustible gases only
3
, Answer: B. Oxygen, combustible gases, toxic gases
Rationale: Testing begins with oxygen because combustible gas meters
require sufficient oxygen to function accurately, followed by flammable
gases and then toxic contaminants.
8. Which hazard communication element provides detailed chemical
hazard information?
A. Attendance sheet
B. Safety Data Sheet
C. Production schedule
D. Lockout permit
Answer: B. Safety Data Sheet
Rationale: Safety Data Sheets contain standardized information
regarding chemical hazards, handling, storage, emergency measures,
and PPE.
9. What is the primary objective of incident investigation?
A. Assign blame
B. Increase insurance premiums
C. Prevent recurrence through identifying root causes
D. Discipline supervisors
Answer: C. Prevent recurrence through identifying root causes
Rationale: Effective investigations focus on systemic improvements
rather than fault-finding.
10. Which control is considered an engineering control?
