Read the first 7 Construction Safety and Risk flashcards as text

  1. The OSHA 300 Log must be posted in the workplace annually during which period?

    Answer: February 1 – April 30

    OSHA requires the Form 300A summary to be posted from February 1 through April 30 each year.

  2. What is the maximum allowable slope for Type C soil in an excavation without additional shoring under OSHA standards?

    Answer: 1½:1 (H:V)

    OSHA Appendix B to 29 CFR 1926 Subpart P requires a 1½:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope for Type C, the least stable soil.

  3. Which tool is most useful for proactively identifying safety risks early in a construction project's design phase?

    Answer: Constructability / HAZID review

    A HAZID (Hazard Identification) or constructability review during design identifies and eliminates risks before construction begins.

  4. When a subcontractor's employee is injured on a general contractor's site, OSHA's multi-employer citation policy allows citations to be issued to:

    Answer: Both the creating/controlling employer and the exposing employer

    OSHA's multi-employer worksite policy allows citations to the employer who created the hazard and the employer whose workers are exposed to it.

  5. A fall protection plan is required as an alternative to conventional fall protection systems only when:

    Answer: Conventional systems would create a greater hazard or are infeasible

    OSHA allows a written fall protection plan only when an employer can demonstrate that conventional fall protection is infeasible or creates a greater hazard.

  6. In a risk matrix, a hazard rated as 'high probability / high severity' should receive which priority classification?

    Answer: Intolerable — immediate action required

    High probability combined with high severity places a risk in the intolerable zone, requiring immediate corrective action.

  7. Which construction activity triggers the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standard at a construction site?

    Answer: Handling highly hazardous chemicals at or above threshold quantities

    PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) applies when highly hazardous chemicals are present at or above OSHA's listed threshold quantities on a site.
