CTSP Regulatory Compliance (OSHA/Z133) 5

Question 1

OSHA's recordkeeping rule (29 CFR 1904) requires employers to record work-related injuries on the OSHA 300 log only if the injury results in:

Accepted Answer

Any medical treatment beyond basic first aid, days away from work, restricted work, or job transfer

Answer

OSHA 300 recording is triggered by cases requiring more than first aid, including days away, restricted duty, job transfer, loss of consciousness, or diagnosis by a healthcare professional.

Question 2

Under ANSI Z133, when must a work-positioning lanyard be used in combination with a separate fall-arrest system?

Accepted Answer

When working in a position where a fall could occur and the lanyard alone does not provide fall arrest

Answer

ANSI Z133 requires a separate fall-arrest backup when a work-positioning lanyard is used, because positioning lanyards alone do not arrest falls.

Question 3

Under OSHA's injury reporting requirements, an employer must notify OSHA within 24 hours if a work-related incident results in:

Accepted Answer

The in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees

Answer

OSHA requires employers to report any work-related in-patient hospitalization within 24 hours, and fatalities within 8 hours.

Question 4

ANSI Z133 requires a 'drop zone' to be established when removing wood from a tree. Which factor is most critical in determining the size of the drop zone?

Accepted Answer

The length of the piece and the height from which it is dropped

Answer

The drop zone size is primarily determined by piece length and drop height, as these factors determine how far a piece can bounce or roll.

Question 5

A tree care company is cited by OSHA for a 'willful' violation. This classification means the employer:

Accepted Answer

Intentionally and knowingly violated OSHA standards or was indifferent to worker safety

Answer

A willful violation is one where the employer knew about the hazard and consciously chose not to correct it, carrying the highest OSHA penalties.
