FREE CPSI Entrapment and Protrusion Hazard Testing Questions and Answers

Question 1

The small torso probe (3.5" x 6.2") is used to test a completely bounded, rigid opening. If this probe passes entirely through the opening, what is the immediate next step in the testing procedure?

Accepted Answer

Test the opening with the large head probe (9.0").

Answer

Test the opening with the fish probe.

Answer

The opening is considered compliant and no further testing is needed.

Answer

Measure the angle of the opening's interior surfaces.

Question 2

An inspector identifies an angle formed by two accessible adjacent surfaces on a play structure that is less than 55 degrees. What specific hazard does this condition present?

Accepted Answer

A head or neck entrapment.

Answer

A clothing toggle entrapment.

Answer

A finger crush hazard.

Answer

A protrusion hazard.

Question 3

The 'fish probe' is a specialized tool designed to simulate a child's finger and test for which type of hazard?

Accepted Answer

Entanglement of clothing drawstrings.

Answer

Entrapment of the torso.

Answer

Entrapment of the head.

Answer

Protrusion hazards in the slide exit area.

Question 4

When testing for protrusions on a moving component, such as a chain on a suspension bridge, which protrusion gauge should be used?

Accepted Answer

The 0.5" diameter gauge.

Answer

The 3.5" diameter gauge.

Answer

The 1.5" diameter gauge.

Answer

The 0.12" thickness gauge.

Question 5

An inspector is testing a partially bounded opening, such as the space between a platform and an arched barrier. What is the correct sequence of tools to use for this test?

Accepted Answer

The 'A' section of the head probe template, then the 'B' section.

Answer

The small torso probe, then the large head probe.

Answer

The fish probe, then the toggle probe.

Answer

The large head probe only.

Question 6

The toggle test gauge is used to assess entanglement hazards primarily associated with what type of equipment?

Accepted Answer

Slides, specifically at the top and along the bedway.

Answer

Enclosed tube slides.

Answer

Climbers with rungs.

Answer

Swings with chains.
