  1. If a chemical splashes into a student's eyes in a laboratory, the first action should be to:

    Answer: Rinse the eyes at an eyewash station for at least 15 minutes

    Flushing the eyes with water at an eyewash station for a minimum of 15 minutes dilutes and removes the chemical and is the established emergency protocol.

  2. Which of the following is an example of a passive safety system?

    Answer: A fire sprinkler system activated by heat

    A passive safety system operates automatically without human intervention; sprinklers activate due to heat without anyone triggering them.

  3. Under the Hierarchy of Controls, which control measure is considered MOST effective for eliminating workplace hazards?

    Answer: Elimination of the hazard

    Eliminating the hazard entirely is the highest and most effective level of the Hierarchy of Controls because it removes the risk at its source.

  4. A 'wet floor' sign is placed in a hallway. This is an example of which type of hazard control?

    Answer: Administrative control

    A warning sign is an administrative control — it informs people of a hazard but does not physically remove or reduce the hazard itself.

  5. When must a student complete a lab safety contract or agreement before an experiment?

    Answer: Only before the first experiment of the school year

    In most US schools, students complete a safety contract at the beginning of the year acknowledging they understand lab rules before conducting any experiments.

  6. What is the significance of a green colored safety sign in most US and international standards?

    Answer: Emergency information or safe condition

    Green safety signs indicate emergency information, safe conditions, or first aid locations, such as emergency exit signs.

  7. Which of the following correctly describes the purpose of a lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure?

    Answer: Isolating energy sources to prevent accidental equipment startup during maintenance

    LOTO procedures prevent accidental machine startup by physically isolating and locking energy sources while workers perform maintenance or repairs.
