  1. A PV installer working on a scaffold must be protected from falls when the scaffold platform is at or above:

    Answer: 10 feet

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.451 requires fall protection on scaffolds when the platform is 10 feet or more above the lower level.

  2. Which type of respiratory protection requires a fit test before use?

    Answer: Both A and C

    Both N95 filtering facepieces and half-mask APRs rely on a face seal and require quantitative or qualitative fit testing under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.

  3. Under OSHA's lockout/tagout standard (29 CFR 1910.147), tagout alone (without a lockout device) is permitted only when:

    Answer: The energy source cannot be locked out due to equipment design

    Tagout alone is only acceptable if the energy-isolating device is incapable of being locked out, and additional protective measures must compensate for the lesser protection of a tag.

  4. Heat illness prevention for solar installers working outdoors in summer includes all of the following EXCEPT:

    Answer: Requiring workers to wear dark-colored clothing

    Dark clothing absorbs more heat; OSHA's heat illness prevention guidance recommends light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to reflect heat.

  5. An employer wants to use a personal fall arrest system (PFAS) on a rooftop PV installation. The anchor point must be capable of supporting at least:

    Answer: 5,000 lbs per worker attached

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502(d) requires each personal fall arrest system anchor to support at least 5,000 pounds per worker attached.

  6. Under OSHA's Eye and Face Protection standard, safety glasses used on a PV job site must comply with which ANSI standard?

    Answer: ANSI Z87.1

    OSHA requires eye and face protection to meet ANSI Z87.1, the standard for Occupational and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices.

  7. During solar installation, a worker is injured and misses 3 days of work. Under OSHA recordkeeping rules, this must be recorded on the OSHA 300 log as a:

    Answer: Days-away-from-work case

    Any work-related injury resulting in one or more days away from work (beyond the day of injury) is classified as a 'days-away-from-work' case on the OSHA 300 log.
