Question 1

What is the purpose of an exposure control plan (ECP) required under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard?

Accepted Answer

To identify tasks with BBP exposure risk and establish protective measures

Answer

An Exposure Control Plan identifies job classifications and tasks involving BBP exposure risk and documents the protective measures, PPE, training, and post-exposure procedures the employer will use.

Question 2

A cleaning supervisor is conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). The first step in this process is to:

Accepted Answer

Identify the job steps and potential hazards for each step

Answer

A JHA begins by breaking a job into its component steps and identifying the potential hazards associated with each step before controls or PPE are determined.

Question 3

Which type of ventilation system is preferred for controlling chemical vapor exposure during high-chemical-use cleaning tasks?

Accepted Answer

Local exhaust ventilation

Answer

Local exhaust ventilation captures chemical vapors at the source before they spread into the worker's breathing zone, providing superior exposure control over dilution ventilation.

Question 4

For a cleaning worker who handles regulated medical waste (sharps, bloody materials), proper waste disposal requires:

Accepted Answer

Puncture-resistant, leak-proof containers labeled with the biohazard symbol

Answer

Regulated medical waste must be placed in puncture-resistant, leak-proof, and properly labeled biohazard containers to prevent injury and exposure during handling and disposal.

Accepted Answer

Kept clean, dry, and slip-resistant where possible

Answer

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 requires that floors be kept clean, dry, and maintained in a slip-resistant condition; where wet conditions exist, drainage and slip-resistant surfaces or mats are required.
