✍️ Sample CASAS Questions & Answers

1. A workplace safety manual section reads: 'Before operating any heavy machinery, review these procedures with your supervisor.' Who is the intended reader?

✓ Workers who operate or will operate heavy equipment

2. What is the mean of the numbers 5, 8, 10, and 7?
