CIH IH Program Management 5

Question 1

Which of the following scenarios represents appropriate use of qualitative exposure assessment in an IH program?

Accepted Answer

Screening low-priority hazards to determine whether quantitative monitoring is warranted

Answer

Qualitative assessment is appropriate for initial screening to determine which hazards warrant the resources required for quantitative monitoring.

Question 2

An IH professional discovers that a vendor's SDS lists a PEL but no ACGIH TLV for a newly introduced chemical. The most appropriate action is to:

Accepted Answer

Research additional occupational exposure limits from NIOSH RELs, AIHA WEELs, or peer-reviewed literature to supplement the PEL

Answer

OSHA PELs are often outdated; supplementing them with NIOSH RELs, AIHA WEELs, and literature-based values ensures more health-protective exposure management.

Question 3

When developing an IH program for a multi-employer construction site, accountability for worker protection from shared hazards is most clearly established through:

Accepted Answer

A site safety and health plan that defines the controlling contractor's coordination responsibilities and each employer's specific obligations

Answer

A site safety and health plan formally assigns multi-employer IH responsibilities and creates documentation of the coordination structure required on complex job sites.

Question 4

An IH manager is asked to evaluate whether to bring an IH function in-house or continue using external consultants. The primary factor favoring an in-house IH professional is:

Accepted Answer

Availability for ongoing program management, hazard surveillance, and institutional knowledge development

Answer

In-house IH professionals provide continuity, deep institutional knowledge, and availability for day-to-day program functions that consultants cannot efficiently deliver.

Question 5

Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between an IH program and an employer's overall occupational safety and health (OSH) management system?

Accepted Answer

The IH program is a specialized component embedded within the broader OSH management system, sharing goals and management infrastructure
