  1. Under OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, what action is required when a change is made to a covered process before the change is implemented?

    Answer: A Management of Change (MOC) review must be completed

    The PSM Management of Change element requires a formal review of any change to process chemicals, technology, equipment, or procedures before implementation.

    OSHA's HazCom standard requires SDSs to be obtained before use and kept readily accessible to employees working with hazardous chemicals.

  4. Under ANSI/ASSP Z10.0-2019, the occupational health and safety management system follows which management model?

    Answer: Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle

  5. When calculating OSHA's Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate, which formula is used?

    Answer: (Number of DART cases × 200,000) ÷ Total hours worked

    The DART rate equals the number of DART cases multiplied by 200,000, divided by total hours worked by all employees during the period.

    Answer: EPCRA Section 304

    EPCRA Section 304 requires immediate notification to SERCs and LEPCs when a reportable quantity of an extremely hazardous substance is accidentally released.

  7. A manufacturer implements a 'safety observation' program where supervisors document unsafe behaviors and conditions. This is an example of which type of safety metric?

    Answer: Leading indicator

    Safety observations measure proactive safety behaviors and hazard conditions before incidents occur, making them leading (predictive) indicators.
