Read the first 7 Jobsite Safety Procedures flashcards as text

  1. Which of the following materials is considered a slip, trip, and fall hazard on a jobsite?

    Answer: Electrical cords running across a walkway

    Electrical cords crossing walkways create tripping hazards and must be covered or routed to avoid pedestrian paths.

  2. What does OSHA's 'multi-employer worksite' policy mean for electrical apprentices?

    Answer: An apprentice can be cited for hazards their employer created even if another employer's workers are exposed

    OSHA's multi-employer policy holds creating, exposing, correcting, and controlling employers each responsible for relevant hazards on a shared worksite.

  3. A worker needs to use a powder-actuated tool on a jobsite. What is required before operating this tool?

    Answer: Proof of training and a valid operator card for that tool

    Powder-actuated tools require operators to be trained and carry a valid card from the manufacturer for the specific tool model.

  4. What is the primary purpose of weekly 'toolbox talks' or 'safety briefings' on a jobsite?

    Answer: To reinforce safety awareness and address site-specific hazards

    Toolbox talks are short, focused safety meetings that reinforce safe practices and address hazards relevant to current work activities.

  5. Which of the following actions violates OSHA scaffold safety regulations on a construction site?

    Answer: Climbing the cross-braces of a tubular welded frame scaffold

    OSHA prohibits climbing scaffold cross-braces; access must be through a proper ladder, stairway, or access frame.

  6. What is the maximum allowable angle for a portable straight ladder when in use?

    Answer: 75.5 degrees from horizontal (4:1 ratio)

    OSHA requires portable ladders to be positioned at a 4:1 ratio, meaning one foot out for every four feet of height, which equals approximately 75.5 degrees.

  7. If a worker receives a minor cut on the jobsite, what should happen to the blood-soiled materials (rags, bandages)?

    Answer: Treat them as potentially infectious and dispose of them per the site's bloodborne pathogen plan

    OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard requires that blood-soiled materials be handled and disposed of as potentially infectious waste.
