  1. How should you move through a smoke-filled corridor during a fire evacuation?

    Answer: Stay low and crawl below the smoke

    Smoke and toxic gases rise, so staying low near the floor provides access to cleaner, cooler air.

  2. Before opening a door during a fire evacuation, you should:

    Answer: Touch the door with the back of your hand to check for heat

    A hot door signals fire on the other side; use the back of the hand to test it and do not open if hot.

  3. After a building fire evacuation, where should workers assemble?

    Answer: At the pre-designated assembly point away from the building

    Designated assembly points keep evacuees clear of emergency vehicles and allow supervisors to account for all personnel.

  4. Fire extinguishers must be stored in a location that is:

    Answer: Clearly visible and completely unobstructed

    OSHA requires fire extinguishers to be visible and immediately accessible at all times with no obstructions blocking them.

  5. Hot work such as welding requires which specific safety precaution?

    Answer: A hot work permit and an assigned fire watch

    Hot work permits and a designated fire watch are required to manage the elevated ignition risk associated with welding and cutting.

  6. What is the most common cause of workplace fires in the US?

    Answer: Electrical hazards

    Electrical hazards — including faulty wiring and overloaded circuits — are the leading cause of workplace fires in the US.
