  1. The OSHA 300A Annual Summary must be posted in a visible workplace location for which period each year?

    Answer: February 1 through April 30

    OSHA requires the 300A summary to be posted from February 1 through April 30 of the year following the recorded incidents.

  2. Which federal agency publishes the Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) that are legally enforceable under OSHA regulations?

    Answer: OSHA publishes Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs)

    Only OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) carry legal enforcement authority under federal law.

  3. In ergonomics program compliance, a 'leading indicator' is best described as:

    Answer: A proactive measure such as number of workstation assessments completed

    Leading indicators are proactive metrics (e.g., assessments conducted, training completions) that predict future risk rather than measure past harm.

  4. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an employer's obligation to provide ergonomic accommodations is triggered when:

    Answer: An employee with a disability requests a reasonable accommodation

    ADA requires reasonable accommodations when a qualified employee with a disability requests one, not automatically for all discomfort reports.

  5. Which element is NOT typically included in a written ergonomics program as recommended by OSHA guidelines?

    Answer: A list of approved workers' compensation insurance providers

    Workers' compensation insurance provider lists are a financial/HR matter, not a standard component of an ergonomics program.

  6. An ergonomist notes that a task has a Lifting Index (LI) of 3.0. According to NIOSH guidance, this indicates:

    Answer: A significant risk; redesign is strongly recommended

    An LI above 1.0 signals elevated risk, and an LI of 3.0 represents significant risk requiring engineering redesign.

  7. Which OSHA standard specifically addresses hand-arm vibration exposure limits in the general industry?

    Answer: There is no specific federal OSHA standard for hand-arm vibration; NIOSH RELs are used as guidance

    The US has no specific federal OSHA standard for hand-arm vibration; practitioners rely on NIOSH RELs and ACGIH TLVs as non-mandatory guidance.
