  1. In the hierarchy of controls, which approach is considered MOST effective for reducing workplace hazards?

    Answer: Elimination

    Elimination physically removes the hazard and sits at the top of the hierarchy of controls.

  2. Which OSHA form is used to record individual work-related injuries and illnesses?

    Answer: Form 301

    OSHA Form 301 is the Injury and Illness Incident Report for each recordable case, while Form 300 is the log.

  3. Employers must post the OSHA Form 300A summary during which period each year?

    Answer: February 1 to April 30

    OSHA requires the annual 300A summary to be posted from February 1 through April 30.

  4. Within what timeframe must an employer report a work-related fatality to OSHA?

    Answer: 8 hours

    Employers must report a work-related fatality to OSHA within 8 hours.

  5. An employer must report a work-related inpatient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA within what time?

    Answer: 24 hours

    These severe injuries must be reported to OSHA within 24 hours.

  6. What is the main purpose of a lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure?

    Answer: To control hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance

    OSHA's LOTO standard (29 CFR 1910.147) keeps machines from starting up or releasing stored energy while they are being serviced.

  7. A client has workplace conditions they believe are lawful, but the conditions exceed OSHA permissible exposure limits. What should the consultant recommend?

    Answer: Bring exposures below PELs using the hierarchy of controls

    Exceeding PELs is a violation, so exposures must be reduced, with engineering and administrative controls preferred over relying only on PPE.
