  1. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom/GHS), employers must ensure that all chemical containers in the workplace are:

    Answer: Labeled with the product identifier, signal word, hazard pictograms, and supplier information

    GHS-aligned HazCom requires container labels to include the product identifier, signal word, pictograms, hazard/precautionary statements, and supplier details.

  2. A maintenance technician is asked to perform work on a pneumatic system while the air supply is still connected. The correct response is to:

    Answer: Refuse the task and apply LOTO to isolate and bleed the pneumatic energy first

    Pneumatic energy is a stored energy source covered by LOTO — it must be isolated and bled to zero before maintenance begins.

  3. What does the NFPA 70E standard specifically govern?

    Answer: Electrical safety in the workplace, including arc flash and shock hazards

    NFPA 70E establishes electrical safety work practices to protect workers from shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast.

  4. A flammable liquid storage room in an industrial facility must be equipped with:

    Answer: Explosion-proof electrical fixtures, proper ventilation, and bonding/grounding for containers

    Flammable storage areas require explosion-proof electrical equipment, ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation, and bonding/grounding to prevent static ignition.

  5. After responding to a near-miss incident in the maintenance department, the MOST important immediate action is to:

    Answer: Report and document the near-miss so the hazard can be investigated and corrected

    Near-misses must be reported and investigated immediately so the underlying hazard is identified and corrected before a serious injury occurs.

  6. The minimum safe distance from overhead power lines for workers using non-insulated equipment is defined by:

    Answer: OSHA tables based on the voltage of the power line

    OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 specifies minimum approach distances based on voltage — the higher the voltage, the greater the required clearance.

  7. When a maintenance worker receives a chemical splash to the eyes, the FIRST action should be:

    Answer: Immediately flush the eyes with water for at least 15 minutes

    Immediate and continuous eye flushing with water for 15–20 minutes is the first response to chemical eye exposure, per ANSI Z358.1.
