  1. A written safety and health program for construction must, at minimum, address which key elements?

    Answer: Management commitment, worker participation, hazard identification, hazard prevention and control, education and training, and program evaluation

    OSHA's recommended safety program elements cover the full cycle from commitment and participation through hazard control and program evaluation.

  2. Leading indicators of safety performance, as opposed to lagging indicators, include:

    Answer: Safety training completion rates, near miss reports, and hazard inspection completion rates

    Leading indicators measure proactive safety activities; lagging indicators measure past injury/illness outcomes.

  3. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) requires employers to post which document in the workplace?

    Answer: OSHA Poster (Job Safety and Health — It's the Law) in a conspicuous location

    The OSHA poster (or state equivalent) must be posted in a conspicuous location accessible to all workers.

  4. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1904, a work-related injury or illness is recordable on the OSHA 300 log if it results in:

    Answer: Days away from work, restricted work, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or diagnosis of a significant illness

    OSHA specifies recordability criteria based on outcome severity — minor first aid cases are not recordable.

  5. A construction company's Experience Modification Rate (EMR) directly impacts:

    Answer: Workers' compensation insurance premiums and eligibility for construction bids

    EMR (also called the 'mod rate') reflects a company's claims history and is used by insurers to adjust premiums and by project owners to evaluate contractor safety performance.

  6. OSHA's enforcement process typically begins with:

    Answer: An opening conference with the employer followed by a workplace inspection

    OSHA inspections begin with an opening conference where the inspector presents credentials and explains the scope of the inspection.
