Read the first 7 Safety Standards & Regulatory Compliance flashcards as text

  1. Which OSHA standard specifically governs lockout/tagout procedures for the control of hazardous energy?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.147

    29 CFR 1910.147 is OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard that establishes minimum performance requirements for controlling hazardous energy.

  2. A technician discovers that a piece of equipment does not have an established lockout/tagout procedure. What is the correct first step?

    Answer: Notify the supervisor and stop work until a procedure is developed

    OSHA requires written energy control procedures before servicing equipment; work must stop until a proper procedure is established.

  3. Under NFPA 70E, what is the purpose of an arc flash boundary?

    Answer: To define the distance within which a person could receive a second-degree burn from an arc flash

    The arc flash boundary under NFPA 70E is the distance at which a person could receive a second-degree burn (1.2 cal/cm²) if an arc flash occurs.

  4. Which agency enforces the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regarding hazardous chemical use in the workplace?

    Answer: EPA

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers and enforces TSCA, which regulates the introduction and use of chemical substances.

  5. What does the term 'hierarchy of controls' mean in safety engineering?

    Answer: A prioritized sequence for selecting hazard control methods from most to least effective

    The hierarchy of controls ranks hazard mitigation strategies from elimination (most effective) down to PPE (least effective).

  6. A chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Section 8 contains which type of information?

    Answer: Exposure controls and personal protective equipment

    SDS Section 8, per GHS/HazCom 2012, covers exposure limits, engineering controls, and appropriate PPE for the chemical.

  7. Which electrical safety practice requires verifying absence of voltage before touching exposed conductors?

    Answer: Test before touch

    The 'test before touch' principle requires using a voltage detector to confirm de-energization before making physical contact with conductors.
