NCRC Reading for Information 3

Question 1

An SDS (Safety Data Sheet) has 16 sections. Section 2 covers 'Hazard Identification.' If you need to find first aid measures, which section should you look in?

Accepted Answer

Section 4

Answer

Section 4 of an SDS covers First Aid Measures, as defined by GHS/OSHA standards.

Question 2

A policy states employees must give '2 weeks written notice' before resigning. An employee verbally tells their manager on Monday. Have they satisfied the policy?

Accepted Answer

No, the policy requires written notice

Answer

The policy specifically requires 'written notice,' so a verbal notification alone does not satisfy it.

Question 3

A table lists shipping times: Standard = 5–7 days, Expedited = 2–3 days, Overnight = 1 day. A customer orders on Monday and needs the item by Wednesday. Which is the cheapest option that still meets the deadline?

Accepted Answer

Expedited shipping

Answer

Expedited (2–3 days) can arrive by Wednesday or Thursday, which meets the Wednesday deadline at minimum; overnight is faster but more expensive.

Question 4

A manual states: 'Never operate machinery without wearing appropriate PPE, including safety glasses and steel-toed boots.' An employee wears safety glasses but not boots. Are they compliant?

Accepted Answer

No, both items are required

Answer

The word 'including' lists both items as required PPE; missing either one means the employee is not compliant.

Question 5

A performance review form has a section labeled 'Areas for Improvement.' What is the purpose of this section?

Accepted Answer

To identify skills or behaviors the employee should develop

Answer

'Areas for Improvement' is used to identify skills, behaviors, or competencies the employee needs to develop.
