Read the first 7 Safety flashcards as text

  1. What does the hierarchy of controls recommend as the most effective way to eliminate a workplace hazard?

    Answer: Elimination of the hazard

    Elimination — physically removing the hazard — is the most effective control because it removes the risk entirely rather than managing it.

  2. A production technician notices a coworker bypassing a safety interlock on a press to speed up production. The correct response is to:

    Answer: Report the unsafe act to a supervisor immediately

    Bypassing safety interlocks creates life-threatening hazards and must be reported immediately regardless of the worker's experience level.

  3. Which hearing protection device provides the highest noise reduction rating (NRR) in a loud production environment?

    Answer: Combined earplugs and earmuffs

    Combining earplugs with earmuffs provides the highest level of hearing protection and is recommended when noise levels exceed 105 dB.

  4. OSHA's general duty clause requires employers to:

    Answer: Keep the workplace free from recognized serious hazards

    Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm.

  5. Which material would require Class D fire extinguisher during a production fire?

    Answer: Magnesium metal shavings

    Class D extinguishers are specifically designed for combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, and sodium.

  6. In ergonomics, which of the following is considered a risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)?

    Answer: Performing highly repetitive motions over extended periods

    Repetitive motions, especially with force or awkward posture, are primary ergonomic risk factors for developing musculoskeletal disorders.

  7. What is the minimum safe distance that OSHA recommends workers maintain from the edge of an unguarded floor opening or elevated platform?

    Answer: There is no distance rule — guarding is required

    OSHA requires fall protection (guardrails, covers, or personal fall arrest) at unguarded edges; distance alone is not an acceptable substitute for guarding.
