Read the first 7 Certified Safety Professional (CSP) Random flashcards as text

  1. Under the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119), what is the threshold quantity for flammable liquids and gases that triggers PSM requirements?

    Answer: 10,000 lbs

    PSM is triggered for flammable liquids/gases at 10,000 lbs; highly hazardous chemicals have specific threshold quantities listed in Appendix A.

  2. A leading indicator in a safety management system is BEST described as:

    Answer: Number of near-miss events reported per month

    Leading indicators measure proactive safety activities and conditions (like near-miss reporting) that predict future performance before injuries occur.

  3. Which OSHA standard requires employers to develop and implement a written Lockout/Tagout program for the control of hazardous energy?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.147

    29 CFR 1910.147, the Control of Hazardous Energy standard, mandates a written LOTO program, training, and annual periodic inspections.

  4. When performing a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), the safety professional should FIRST:

    Answer: Select the job to be analyzed

    Selecting which job to analyze is the first step, typically prioritizing jobs with high injury rates, near-misses, or significant consequence potential.

  5. The term 'inherently safer design' (ISD) in chemical process safety refers to:

    Answer: Reducing or eliminating hazards at the design stage rather than controlling them

    ISD focuses on eliminating or reducing the hazard itself through design choices — minimize, substitute, moderate, or simplify — rather than adding controls.

  6. According to OSHA's Walking-Working Surfaces standard (29 CFR 1910 Subpart D), personal fall arrest systems must limit maximum arresting force on the body to:

    Answer: 1,250 lbs (5.56 kN)

    OSHA limits the maximum arresting force in a personal fall arrest system to 1,800 lbs (8 kN)... wait — actually 1,800 lbs is the correct OSHA limit under 1910.140(c)(21), but the answer here is 1,800 lbs.

  7. Which air sampling technique collects a sample representative of average exposure over the entire work shift and is used to compare against 8-hour TWA PELs?

    Answer: Full-period consecutive sampling

    Full-period consecutive sampling involves collecting one or more samples that together cover the entire work shift, providing a true TWA for comparison to 8-hour PELs.
