Which of the following best describes the purpose of a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)?
Answer: To systematically identify and evaluate hazards associated with specific job tasks before work begins
A JHA (also called Job Safety Analysis) is a proactive process that breaks a job into steps, identifies potential hazards at each step, and recommends controls to eliminate or reduce those hazards before an incident occurs.
Under OSHA's Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) standard (29 CFR 1910.147), what is the correct term for the procedure that renders a machine unable to be energized during servicing?
Answer: Energy control procedure
OSHA 1910.147 requires employers to develop written energy control procedures (also called lockout/tagout procedures) that specify the steps to isolate and de-energize equipment before maintenance or servicing activities.
A safety supervisor notices a worker performing a task without required PPE but no injury has occurred. What is the MOST appropriate immediate action?
Answer: Stop the work, correct the hazard by ensuring PPE is donned, and document the observation
Supervisors have a duty to intervene immediately when an unsafe condition or behavior is observed. Stopping the work, correcting the hazard on the spot, and documenting the event follows the hierarchy of supervisory safety responsibility and prevents a potential injury.
In a risk assessment matrix, risk level is determined by combining which two factors?
Answer: Likelihood of occurrence and severity of potential harm
A standard risk matrix plots the probability (likelihood) that a hazard will cause an event against the severity (consequence) of the resulting harm. The intersection of these two axes yields a risk rating (e.g., low, medium, high, critical).
What is the primary goal of a safety incident investigation?
Answer: To identify root causes so that corrective actions can prevent recurrence
Incident investigations are fundamentally a learning and prevention tool. By identifying root causes — including management system failures, not just worker error — organizations can implement corrective actions that reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future.
Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012, 29 CFR 1910.1200), how many sections are required on a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
Answer: 16
HazCom 2012 aligns with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and mandates a standardized 16-section SDS format covering chemical identity, hazards, composition, first aid, fire-fighting, handling, exposure controls, physical/chemical properties, and more.
