  1. Which OSHA standard requires facilities with highly hazardous chemicals above threshold quantities to develop a written Process Safety Management (PSM) program?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.119

    OSHA's Process Safety Management standard (29 CFR 1910.119) requires PSM programs for facilities with listed highly hazardous chemicals above threshold quantities.

  2. An energy manager notices that a cooling tower water treatment log shows biocide dosing has been skipped for three weeks. The primary health concern this creates is:

    Answer: Legionella bacterial growth posing a risk of Legionnaires' disease

    Untreated cooling tower water creates conditions for Legionella proliferation, which can cause potentially fatal Legionnaires' disease when aerosolized water is inhaled.

  3. When calculating the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for an energy facility, which formula is correct?

    Answer: (Number of incidents × 200,000) ÷ Total hours worked

    TRIR = (Number of recordable incidents × 200,000) ÷ Total hours worked, where 200,000 represents 100 employees working 2,000 hours per year.

  4. A facility installs a new natural gas cogeneration unit. Which safety system is MOST critical to prevent combustible gas accumulation in the equipment room?

    Answer: Continuous gas detection and automatic ventilation interlock

    Continuous gas detectors wired to automatic ventilation systems detect leaks early and dilute accumulations below the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) before ignition can occur.

  5. Under the hierarchy of hazard controls, which measure is considered MOST effective when eliminating an electrical hazard is not feasible?

    Answer: Installing engineering controls such as barriers or guarding

    Engineering controls rank above administrative controls and PPE in the hierarchy because they physically reduce or eliminate exposure to the hazard without relying on worker behavior.

  6. Which scenario would require submission of an OSHA 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses?

    Answer: Establishments with 11 or more employees in non-exempt industries must post it February 1–April 30 annually

    OSHA requires establishments with 11 or more employees in non-partially-exempt industries to post the 300A summary from February 1 through April 30 each year.

  7. A maintenance crew must enter a vault containing a 2,000 kVA transformer. Which condition would classify this as an OSHA permit-required confined space?

    Answer: The space contains or has potential to contain a serious hazard such as engulfment or toxic atmosphere

    OSHA defines permit-required confined spaces as those that contain or have the potential to contain a serious safety or health hazard, beyond merely being large enough to enter with limited egress.
