  1. ISO 45001 differs from the earlier OHSAS 18001 standard primarily in that ISO 45001:

    Answer: Integrates worker participation and a stronger context-of-organization clause

    ISO 45001 uses the High-Level Structure (Annex SL), introduces stronger requirements for worker participation, and considers the broader organizational context compared to OHSAS 18001.

  2. Under OSHA's Emergency Action Plan standard (29 CFR 1910.38), a written plan is required when the workplace has:

    Answer: More than 10 employees

    OSHA requires a written Emergency Action Plan for workplaces with more than 10 employees; smaller employers may communicate the plan orally.

  3. A plant manager reviews the OSHA 300A Summary and notices the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) has increased year-over-year. TRIR is calculated using a base of:

    Answer: 200,000 labor hours (100 full-time workers × 2,000 hours)

    TRIR uses 200,000 hours as the base (equivalent to 100 full-time employees working 40 hours/week for 50 weeks) to normalize rates across different-sized workforces.

  4. Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), before a company can manufacture or import a new chemical substance, it must submit a:

    Answer: Pre-Manufacture Notice (PMN) to the EPA

    TSCA Section 5 requires manufacturers and importers to submit a Pre-Manufacture Notice (PMN) to EPA at least 90 days before producing or importing a new chemical substance.

  5. The 'fatal four' leading causes of construction fatalities identified by OSHA include falls, struck-by objects, electrocutions, and:

    Answer: Caught-in/between hazards

    OSHA identifies the 'Fatal Four' in construction as falls, struck-by, electrocutions, and caught-in/between hazards, which together account for the majority of construction fatalities.

  6. When a plant implements a Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) program, the primary focus is on:

    Answer: Observing and reinforcing safe behaviors to reduce at-risk actions

    BBS programs use structured observations and positive reinforcement to increase the frequency of safe behaviors and reduce at-risk behaviors.

  7. Under 40 CFR Part 68 (EPA RMP), the Program 3 level applies to processes that are:

    Answer: In SIC codes subject to OSHA PSM and not eligible for Program 1 or 2

    Program 3 applies to processes in specified SIC codes subject to OSHA PSM requirements that do not qualify for the less stringent Program 1 or Program 2 classifications.
