Question 2

What is the primary purpose of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) in a maintenance environment?

Accepted Answer

To identify hazards associated with each step of a maintenance task before work begins

Answer

A JSA breaks down a task into steps and identifies potential hazards at each step so controls can be implemented before work starts.

Question 3

Under OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, what threshold quantity of a highly hazardous chemical triggers compliance requirements?

Accepted Answer

The threshold varies by chemical as listed in 29 CFR 1910.119 Appendix A

Answer

OSHA PSM lists specific threshold quantities for each covered chemical in Appendix A of 29 CFR 1910.119, which vary widely by substance.

Question 4

Which hierarchy of controls is considered most effective for reducing workplace safety risks?

Accepted Answer

Elimination

Answer

Elimination—physically removing the hazard—is the most effective control because it completely removes the risk rather than managing it.

Question 5

What does a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 provide for maintenance personnel working with hazardous chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Exposure limits and required personal protective equipment

Answer

SDS Section 8 covers Exposure Controls and Personal Protection, listing OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs, and required PPE for safe handling.
