  1. What is the correct sequence when using a fire extinguisher, remembered by the acronym PASS?

    PASS stands for Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side across the base of the flames.

  2. Which of the following is a leading cause of workplace fatalities in the construction industry, according to OSHA's 'Fatal Four'?

    Answer: Falls from elevation

    OSHA's 'Fatal Four' in construction are falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, and electrocution; falls are the leading cause, accounting for the most deaths.

  3. What is the maximum allowable noise exposure at 90 dBA without hearing protection, according to OSHA?

    Answer: 8 hours

    OSHA's permissible noise exposure limit is 90 dBA for an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA); above this, engineering controls or hearing protection are required.

  4. A worker is struck in the eye by a small metal chip. Which first aid action is most appropriate?

    Answer: Flush the eye with clean water for 15–20 minutes and seek medical attention

    Eye injuries require immediate irrigation with clean water for at least 15 minutes to flush out particles, followed by medical evaluation to prevent serious damage.

  5. What does 'Hierarchy of Controls' prioritize as the most effective way to reduce workplace hazards?

    Answer: Elimination of the hazard

    The Hierarchy of Controls ranks elimination as the most effective solution because it physically removes the hazard, while PPE is the least effective as a last resort.

  6. When should an apprentice inspect their personal protective equipment (PPE)?

    Answer: Before each use, and replace any damaged or expired equipment

    PPE should be inspected before every use to ensure it is in good condition and will provide the protection it is designed for.
