Question 2

When a drafting technician identifies a potential design flaw that could create a fall hazard during construction, the correct first action is to:

Accepted Answer

Immediately notify the project engineer or supervisor

Question 3

A risk matrix is used in construction projects primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Prioritize risks by combining likelihood and consequence

Answer

A risk matrix plots probability against severity to prioritize which risks require immediate mitigation versus monitoring.

Question 4

The hierarchy of controls lists which option as the MOST effective method for eliminating workplace hazards?

Accepted Answer

Elimination

Answer

Elimination—physically removing the hazard from the workplace—is the most effective control because it permanently removes the risk source.

Question 5
