  1. After a serious tree care incident, which action should be taken FIRST at the scene?

    Answer: Provide emergency medical care and secure the scene

    Providing emergency medical care to injured workers and securing the scene to prevent further injury are always the first priorities after an incident.

  2. What does a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) measure?

    Answer: The number of OSHA recordable incidents per 100 full-time workers

    TRIR = (Number of recordable incidents × 200,000) ÷ total hours worked, expressed per 100 full-time equivalent workers.

  3. Which of the following is OSHA's required timeline for reporting a work-related fatality?

    Answer: Within 8 hours of the incident

    Employers must report work-related fatalities to OSHA within 8 hours of learning of the incident.

  4. When conducting a post-incident investigation, which method is most effective for identifying root causes?

    Answer: Using a 5-Why analysis or fishbone diagram to trace causal chains

    Structured root-cause analysis tools like 5-Why or fishbone diagrams systematically trace contributing factors back to underlying systemic causes.

  5. Which of the following best describes the concept of 'hierarchy of controls' application in selecting fall protection for climbers?

    Answer: Prefer elimination or engineering controls; use PPE only when higher-order controls are infeasible

    The hierarchy prioritizes elimination and engineering controls over PPE; in climbing, this might mean using an aerial lift instead of a climbing system when feasible.

  6. An employer wants to benchmark their tree care safety program against industry peers. Which resource provides the most relevant industry-specific incident rate data?

    Answer: BLS Industry Injury and Illness data for NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services)

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes annual injury and illness data by NAICS code, allowing companies to compare their TRIR against the landscape services industry benchmark.

  7. A safety manager is implementing a behavior-based safety (BBS) observation program. Which practice is essential for program success?

    Answer: Providing immediate, constructive feedback and reinforcing safe behaviors

    Effective BBS programs depend on timely, respectful feedback that reinforces safe behavior and corrects at-risk behaviors in a non-punitive manner.
