Read the first 7 Safety Standards & Environmental Compliance flashcards as text

  1. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012), how many sections must a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contain?

    Answer: 16

    GHS-aligned SDS documents must contain exactly 16 standardized sections covering hazard identification, composition, first-aid, fire-fighting, and other critical information.

  2. Which EPA program requires facilities that manufacture, import, process, or use listed toxic chemicals above threshold quantities to report annual releases?

    Answer: Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)

    EPCRA Section 313 established the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program, requiring annual reporting of releases of listed toxic chemicals to the EPA.

  3. A facility stores 15,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia. Under OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119), what is the threshold quantity for anhydrous ammonia that would trigger PSM requirements?

    Answer: 10,000 lbs

    OSHA PSM lists anhydrous ammonia with a threshold quantity of 10,000 pounds, so a facility storing 15,000 lbs is subject to PSM requirements.

  4. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)?

    Answer: Identifying hazards associated with each step of a task before work begins

    A JHA (also called JSA) breaks a job into steps, identifies potential hazards for each step, and recommends controls before work begins to prevent injuries.

  5. Under the Clean Water Act's NPDES permit program, a facility discharging industrial wastewater directly to a river must obtain which type of permit?

    Answer: Individual NPDES permit

    Direct discharges of pollutants to navigable waters from point sources require an individual NPDES permit under the Clean Water Act, tailored to the specific facility.

  6. Which NFPA standard governs the installation and use of portable fire extinguishers in industrial and commercial occupancies?

    Answer: NFPA 10

    NFPA 10 is the Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, covering selection, installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing requirements.

  7. In the hierarchy of controls, which control measure is considered most effective at eliminating workplace hazards?

    Answer: Elimination

    Elimination—physically removing the hazard from the workplace—is the most effective control because it removes the risk entirely rather than managing exposure to it.
