Under OSHA's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) framework, which of the following is a core required element?
Answer: Worker participation in hazard identification and control
I2P2 emphasizes worker participation as a core element, recognizing that employees closest to the work are best positioned to identify hazards.
A safety program audit differs from a safety inspection in that an audit:
Answer: Evaluates the effectiveness and compliance of the overall safety management system
An audit evaluates the safety management system's effectiveness and compliance with standards, while an inspection focuses on identifying physical workplace hazards.
The 'Plan-Do-Check-Act' (PDCA) cycle applied to safety management means:
Answer: Establishing objectives, implementing controls, monitoring results, and continuously improving
PDCA in safety means planning safety objectives and controls, implementing them, monitoring/measuring results, and using findings to drive continuous improvement.
Which metric is the OSHA recordable incidence rate (TRIR) formula?
Answer: (Number of recordable incidents × 200,000) ÷ total hours worked
TRIR = (Number of recordable incidents × 200,000) ÷ total hours worked, where 200,000 represents 100 full-time employees working 2,000 hours per year.
In a behavior-based safety (BBS) program, observations are primarily used to:
Answer: Collect data on safe and at-risk behaviors to guide targeted interventions and positive reinforcement
BBS observations collect data on behavioral patterns to identify trends, guide coaching conversations, and reinforce safe behaviors through positive feedback.
When developing a safety training program, the FIRST step should be:
Answer: Conducting a training needs assessment to identify gaps
A needs assessment identifies who needs training, what knowledge or skills are lacking, and the root causes of gaps before designing or selecting any training.
Which of the following is an example of an 'administrative control' in the hierarchy of controls?
Answer: Rotating workers to limit exposure duration
Administrative controls change how work is organized or how long workers are exposed—job rotation to limit exposure duration is a classic example.
