OSHA 10 STUDY (Module) questions with Answers
Ergonomic |Hazards |- |correct |answer |-These |put |strain |on |your |body. |The |strain |can |be |from |the
|type |of |work, |body |positions, |or |working |conditions
examples |of |ergonomic |hazards |- |correct |answer |-Frequent |lifting |
Poor |posture
Awkward |movements
Repetitive |motions
Ergonomic |hazards |can |cause |back, |shoulder, |or |neck |pain. |They |can |also |cause |discomfort, |strains,
|and |other |injuries, |such |as |carpal |tunnel |syndrome, |tendinitis, |and |trigger |finger.
Work |Organization |Hazards |- |correct |answer |-These |are |workplace |issues |that |can |cause |stress
|(short-term |effects) |and |strain |(long-term |effects).
examples |of |work |organization |hazards? |- |correct |answer |-Lots |of |overtime
Poor |management
Workplace |violence
Bullying |or |hazing
You're |on |a |job |site |and |a |diesel-engine |concrete |mixer |is |emitting |toxic |fumes. |What |would |be |the
|most |effective |way |to |protect |workers |from |the |fumes?
(Choose |all |that |apply.) |- |correct |answer |-Remove |the |mixer |from |the |site.
Use |a |different |engine |that |doesn't |emit |fumes.
Some |of |these |safety |measures |would |be |much |more |effective |than |others: |- |correct |answer |-
Removing |the |mixer |or |using |a |different |engine |would |mean |workers |aren't |exposed |to |any |fumes.
•
, Ventilation |and |limiting |use |time |would |help. |But |workers |would |still |be |exposed |to |some |fumes.
•
Respirators |wouldn't |reduce |workers' |exposure. |But |they |could |protect |them |from |the |toxic |effects.
hierarchy |of |controls |- |correct |answer |-> |If |hazards |can't |be |removed, |employers |can |reduce
|workers' |exposure |with |engineering |safeguards |(also |called |engineering |controls) |or |safety |policies
|(also |called |administrative |controls).
> |When |employers |can't |reduce |workers' |exposure, |they |can |give |workers |personal |protective
|equipment |(PPE) |to |protect |against |the |effects |of |the |hazard.
The |Hierarchy |of |Controls |- |correct |answer |-> |Once |hazards |have |been |identified |and |evaluated,
|your |employer |will |control |those |hazards |as |effectively |as |they |can.
> |They'll |follow |the |hierarchy |of |controls, |shown |below. |The |most |effective |controls |are |at |the |top
|of |the |hierarchy, |and |last-resort |controls |are |at |the |bottom.
Elimination |- |physically |remove |hazard
Substitution |- |replace |the |hazard
Engineering |controls |- |isolate |people |from |the |hazard
administrative |controls |- |change |the |way |people |work
PPE |- |Protect |the |worker |with |personal |protective |equipment
Administrative |controls |- |correct |answer |-Your |employer |trains |you |in |how |to |safely |handle
|dangerous |chemicals.
Personal |protective |equipment |(PPE) |- |correct |answer |-Your |employer |gives |you |steel-toed |boots
|for |working |with |a |forklift.
Engineering |control |- |correct |answer |-Your |employer |adds |fixed |guards |around |the |chain |and
|sprocket |of |a |machine |to |prevent |accidental |contact.
