CUSP CORRECT COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔According to the CAN/ULC S801, what is the LEAST DESIRABLE type of fall
protection: - ✔✔Fall Arrest System (FAS)
✔✔Within Z259.14 standards fall restriction equipment (FRE) may only be leather in
subcomponents or elements that are NOT exposed to: - ✔✔A dynamic load.
✔✔As per Z259 standards, energy absorbing lanyards shall be classified according to
their ability to absorb the kinetic energy from a fall as follows: - ✔✔Class E4 (4.0 kN)
and Class E6 (6.0 kN) energy absorbing lanyards.
✔✔Assuming that the fall protection system is correctly being used, in what scenario
might the worker still contact the ground if they fell: - ✔✔Working 16 feet up in a bucket
truck on distribution secondary services using a six foot shock absorbing lanyard,
connected to the approved bucket anchor.
✔✔What is NOT defined as a requirement of temporary vertical life lines as per Z259
standards: - ✔✔100% polypropylene fibers provide the greatest breaking strength.
✔✔Requirements of temporary vertical life lines, as per Z259 standards: - ✔✔1. Shall
be made from synthetic fibers with breaking strength of 27 kN or greater.
2. They shall be free of splices and knots, except at the terminations.
3. They shall be installed to protect against abrasion and sharp edges.
✔✔Working on an energized lattice tower requires emergency response consistent with
the associated hazards. What is NOT required as part of the emergency planning: -
✔✔Daily practice of tower rescue method.
, ✔✔Working on an energized lattice tower requires emergency response consistent with
the associated hazards, including: - ✔✔1. A means to contact the operating authority to
de-energize the circuit.
2. Rescue equipment readily available to quickly and safely lower the worker.
3. Regular rescue practices on tower rescue at an appropriate frequency.
✔✔Z259.14 wooden pole choker devices that are designed and tested to restrict a
workers fall distance under dry, wet, and icy conditions are classified as: - ✔✔Type AB
device.
✔✔The voltage limits and mechanical strength of a live line tool is best specified by: -
✔✔The manufacturers requirements.
✔✔Live line tools can be modified to meet the needs of the work. What is NOT an
acceptable strategy for tool modification: - ✔✔A utility worker has evaluated the tool
modification and approved the change.
✔✔Live line tools can be modified to meet the needs of the work. Acceptable strategies
for tool modification include: - ✔✔1. Changes to the tool do not violate other applicable
standards.
2. The tool has been inspected and tested by a professional engineer.
3. The tool modification was approved by an engineer using applicable standards.
✔✔Insulating hot rope (live line rope) is tested in accordance to ASTM F1701. The
purpose of this test is to: - ✔✔Determine the current leakage under dry and wet rope
conditions.
✔✔Live line rigid cover in compliance with CAN/ULC-61229 includes the following
pieces or protective insulating equipment EXCEPT for: - ✔✔Insulating line hose.
✔✔Live line rigid cover in compliance with CAN/ULC-61229 includes the following
pieces or protective insulating equipment, including: - ✔✔1. Conductor cover (air
guard).
2. Pole guard.
3. Switch and insulator shields.
✔✔This statement is true, regarding the application of cover-up on energized high
voltage lines: - ✔✔If left overnight, a visual inspection must be performed at minimum
prior to use.
✔✔What is NOT a fundamental principle of live line work tools: - ✔✔Valid lab test dates
provide sufficient verification of tool dielectric properties.
