Question 1

When conducting a confined space inspection, what is the minimum atmospheric oxygen level considered safe for entry without supplied air?

Accepted Answer

19.5%

Answer

OSHA defines a safe oxygen level for confined space entry as between 19.5% and 23.5%; below 19.5% is considered oxygen-deficient.

Question 2

A public inspector discovers a gas line with a pressure reading 30% above the permitted operating pressure. What is the correct immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Halt work and notify the utility operator immediately

Answer

An overpressure condition is an imminent hazard requiring immediate work stoppage and notification of the responsible utility operator.

Question 3

Which type of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is specifically required when inspecting sites with known asbestos-containing materials above permissible exposure limits?

Accepted Answer

Full-face supplied-air respirator and disposable coveralls

Answer

OSHA 1926.1101 Class I asbestos work requires a full-face supplied-air respirator and disposable protective clothing when PEL is exceeded.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) performed before an infrastructure inspection?

Accepted Answer

To systematically identify and mitigate hazards for each inspection task

Answer

A JHA breaks each task into steps and identifies associated hazards so controls can be implemented before work begins.

Question 5

During a bridge inspection, an inspector notices a colleague not wearing a fall protection harness near an unguarded edge with a 15-foot drop. What should the inspector do?

Accepted Answer

Immediately intervene and require the colleague to don proper fall protection before continuing

Answer

OSHA requires fall protection at heights of 6 feet or more in construction; an inspector must stop unsafe acts immediately to prevent injury.
