  1. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012), which section of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) describes first-aid measures?

    Answer: Section 4

    SDS Section 4 is designated for first-aid measures under the GHS-aligned HazCom 2012 standard.

  2. A facility stores 15,000 lbs of a listed toxic substance above its EPCRA Section 302 threshold. Which action is required annually?

    Answer: Submit a Tier II emergency and hazardous chemical inventory report

    EPCRA Section 312 requires facilities exceeding threshold planning quantities to submit annual Tier II inventory reports to LEPC, SERC, and local fire department.

  3. Which industrial hygiene control hierarchy level is considered the MOST effective for reducing worker exposure to hazardous substances?

    Answer: Elimination

    Elimination removes the hazard entirely and is the most effective control at the top of the hierarchy.

  4. An employee receives a whole-body radiation dose of 5 rem in a single calendar year from occupational exposure. This is:

    Answer: At the NRC annual occupational dose limit for whole-body exposure

    NRC regulations (10 CFR 20) set the annual occupational whole-body dose limit at 5 rem (50 mSv), so 5 rem is exactly at the regulatory limit.

  5. When selecting respiratory protection for an IDLH atmosphere of unknown composition, which respirator is required by OSHA?

    Answer: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in pressure-demand mode

    OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 mandates pressure-demand SCBA for IDLH atmospheres of unknown composition due to unknown contaminants.

  6. The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for a substance is listed as a ceiling value. This means workers:

    Answer: Must never be exposed above that concentration at any time

    A ceiling PEL is an absolute concentration that must not be exceeded at any moment during the work shift.

  7. Which OSHA standard requires employers to develop and implement an Exposure Control Plan for bloodborne pathogens?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.1030

    29 CFR 1910.1030 (Bloodborne Pathogens standard) requires a written Exposure Control Plan to eliminate or minimize employee exposure.
