Controlling severe bleeding with direct pressure is the immediate life-saving priority before documentation or notifications.

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of an administrative control used to prevent struck-by accidents on a construction site?

Accepted Answer

Establishing exclusion zones and traffic management plans

Answer

Exclusion zones and traffic management plans are administrative controls because they manage how people and equipment interact rather than changing the physical environment.

Question 3

When a construction worker is suspected of having heat stroke, the supervisor should:

Accepted Answer

Move the worker to a cool area, apply cooling measures, and call 911 immediately

Answer

Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate cooling and emergency medical services because body temperature must be lowered rapidly.

Question 4

The primary purpose of conducting a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) before starting a new construction task is to:

Accepted Answer

Identify potential hazards and establish safe work procedures before work begins

Answer

A JHA proactively identifies hazards and controls for each step of a task before work starts, preventing accidents through planning.

Question 5

Which of the following actions would be considered a leading indicator of accident prevention performance on a construction site?

Accepted Answer

Frequency of near-miss reports submitted by workers

Answer

Near-miss reporting frequency is a leading indicator because it measures proactive safety engagement before injuries occur, unlike lagging indicators that count past harms.
