Question 1: Section 1926.405 Electrical: Wiring Methods, Components and Equipment for General
Use
Question ID#: 1
Unused openings on electrical boxes must be
closed.
More OSHA violations by electrical contractors come from this section than any
other part of the OSHA rules for construction. Many different types of wiring and
equipment are described here, including: temporary wiring, flexible cords and
cables, cabinets, boxes and fittings, enclosures for damp or wet locations,
switchboards and panelboards, portable cables over 600 volts, lighting fixtures,
receptacles and cord connectors, appliances and motors.
One of the most common violations from this section is not closing unused openings
in electrical boxes or not installing covers on boxes. If a flexible cord enters a box, a
bushing has to be used so the edge of the box doesn't cut into the cord. If a metal
cover is installed, it has to be grounded.
Extension cords used with portable electric tools must be 3-wire and listed for hard
or extra- hard usage. Flexible cords used with temporary and portable lights must
also be hard or extra-hard usage cords.
Lamps used for temporary lighting have to be protected from accidental contact or
breakage. Temporary lights cannot be suspended by their electric cords unless the
cords and light sets are designed for it.
Question 1: Which of the following is NOT an OSHA rule for Electrical boxes?

A: Holes in electrical boxes must be closed.
B: Pull boxes and junction boxes must have covers installed.
C: Only plastic boxes may be installed on construction sites.
D: Metal box covers must be grounded.
Question 2: Section 1926.405 Wiring Methods,Components and Equipment for General Use
Question ID#: 2
Temporary lights should not be supported by their
electric cords unless the cords and lights are
designed for it.
An important part of this section deals with temporary wiring. Rules for temporary
lighting are included here, and are as follows:
All lamps for general illumination shall be protected from accidental contact or
breakage. Metal-case sockets shall be grounded.
Temporary lights shall not be suspended by their electric cords unless cords and
lights are designed for this means of suspension.
Portable electric lighting used in wet and/or other conductive locations, as for
example, inside drums, tanks and vessels, shall be operated at 12 volts or less.
However, 120-volt lights may be used if protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
Question 2: Which of the following is NOT an OSHA violation for temporary lighting?

A: Lights without protective baskets.
B: Lights suspended by their electric cords.
C: A 120 volt light without GFCI protection used inside a tank.
D: Portable electric lighting used inside a tank, operated at 12 V.

Question 3: Section 1926.403 Electrical: General Requirements
Question ID#: 3
Unused openings on electrical boxes must be
closed.
This section covers topics like the installation and use of listed electrical equipment,
the mounting and cooling of electrical equipment, identification of the disconnecting
means for circuits and equipment and the work space about electrical equipment.
Each disconnecting switch for motors and appliances must be legibly marked to
indicate its purpose. Each service, feeder and branch circuit must be identified at its
disconnecting means to indicate its purpose.
Work space around electrical equipment must be maintained so there is clear
access to the equipment. The distances of clear work space are the same as the
National Electrical Code.
A minimum of 36 inches deep in front of the equipment and a minimum of 30 inches
wide must be kept clear. For voltages from 151-600 volts, the required clear space
increases to 3.5 feet if there is a block, brick, or tile wall opposite the electrical
equipment. If an electrician has live electrical equipment on both sides of the work
space, for example when two rows of switchgear face each other, the work space
must be 4 feet deep if the voltage is 151-600 volts.
Question 3: The minimum clear work space in front of electrical equipment must be:

A: 30 inches wide and 36 inches deep.
B: 30 inches wide and 2 Ft. feet deep.
C: 30 inches wide and 4 feet deep.
D: 36 inches wide and 36 inches deep.
Question 4: Section 1926.403 Electrical: General Requirements
Question ID#: 4
Disconnects must be labeled so their purpose is
clear.
All electrical disconnects for circuits and equipment must be clearly marked to
indicate their purpose. For example, an electrical disconnect for an air compressor
has to be labeled as disconnecting the air compressor. An electrical disconnect for a
table saw has to be marked as the table saw disconnect. The reason is obvious. If
there is a problem with the piece of equipment it is important to know where to
disconnect the power.
It does not matter whether the circuit is large or small. Even 20 amp branch circuits
must be labeled in the electrical panel.
The marking must be suitable for the environment. If the electrical disconnect is
outdoors, the labeling should not wash off in the rain. Generally, ink or magic marker
should be used for writing. If written on paper the identification should be protected
from dirt and grease or by a clear plastic cover.
Question 4: Identifying labels for electrical disconnects:

A: Are only required on circuits larger than 100 amps.
B: Must be engraved plastic labels.
C: Should be weatherproof if installed outdoors.
D: Are not necessary during construction.
Question 5: Personal Identification Question
Question ID#: 520
Question 5: Which color do you like best?

A: Red
B: Blue
C: Green
D: Yellow
Question 6: Section 1926.404 Electrical: Wiring Design and Protection
Question ID#: 5
A loose connection can break the ground return
path.
The path to ground from circuits, equipment, and enclosures shall be permanent
and continuous. This is one of the most common violations OSHA inspectors find.
The green equipment grounding conductor must be unbroken from the distribution
panel to the farthest outlet on a branch circuit. All metal raceways, device boxes,
pull boxes, enclosures, and equipment have to be connected to the equipment
grounding conductor.
If a hot wire comes in contact with any of these metal devices, the equipment
conductor becomes the path for the fault current to return to the source.
Once the fault current returns to the source at the service or transformer it travels
back down the faulted phase to trip the breaker on the circuit that has gone to
ground.
If the path is not permanent and continuous the breaker will not trip and the metal
parts of the circuit will stay energized and pose a serious shock hazard.
Permanent means the ground path has to remain unbroken even if a device is
removed. Bonding jumpers have to be installed around water meters and attached
to receptacles so that, if either is replaced, the ground path is still intact.
Continuous means electrically continuous, so the fault current can flow uninterrupted
from the point of the fault to the electrical source. Good metal-to-metal contact, tight
connections, and no corrosion or paint at the connection will help the ground path be
continuous.
Question 6: According to OSHA the path to ground:

A: May be installed after construction.
B: Shall be permanent and continuous.
C: Shunts the fault current away from enclosures.
D: Is required only for receptacles and water meters.
Question 7: Section 1926.404 Electrical: Wiring Design and Protection
Question ID#: 6
GFCI Protection is required for 15 &20 amp outlets.
This section covers a great deal of material from Chapter 2 in the 2002 National
Electrical Code. Many of the rules from the National Electrical Code on branch
circuits, services and grounding are summarized here.
One of the most important areas is Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection for personnel using equipment that is plugged into single-phase,
120-volts, 15 and 20 amp receptacle outlets. (The National Electrical Code requires
GFCI protection for 30 amp outlets as well.)
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters compare the current in the wire going to an
appliance or tool with the current in the wire returning to the source. Under normal
conditions the current should be exactly equal. If there is a difference between the
two currents, some current is leaking to ground, which could energize the metal
casing of the tool and pose a serious electrocution hazard.
GFCI's are set to trip out the circuit and de-energize the tool at a level well below the
threshold for injury, about .005 amps.
This OSHA section is far-reaching and requires the use of GFCI protective devices,
like the one in the illustration, basically any time a worker plugs in an electrical tool
to a 15 or 20 amp outlet.
Question 7: GFCI protection on construction sites is required any time an employee:

A: Uses electrical equipment.
B: Uses portable electrical equipment.
C: Uses a 15 or 20 amp receptacle outlet.
D: Uses equipment which has not been inspected.
Question 8: Section 1926.416 Electrical: Safety-Related Work Practices, General Requirements
Question ID#: 7
A volt/ohm meter can be an electrician's best friend.
The #1 rule for electrical safety is to test all circuits to see if they are energized
before working on them. There is nothing more basic than using a voltage tester,
volt/ohm-meter or amp meter to be sure the circuit is safe to work on. More
electricians have been killed by working on a hot circuit that they thought was
de-energized than for any other reason.
Checking a circuit with an electric meter before working on it has not always been
thought to be important. Here is an unbelieveable quote from an early edition of the
American Electrician's Handbook:
Electricians often test circuits for the presence of voltage by touching the conductors
with the fingers. This method is safe where the voltage does not exceed 250 and is
often very convenient for locating a blownout fuse or for ascertaining whether or not
a circuit is alive. Some men can endure the electric shock that results without
discomfort whereas others cannot. Therefore, the method is not feasible in some
cases.
Today we know that electric shocks from sources well below 250 volts can be fatal.
Always test the circuit with a meter before working on it! Make sure all employees
who will be doing electrical work know how to use a meter safely.
Question 8: Before beginning work on electrical equipment, you should:

A: Touch the wires with your fingers to check for voltage.
B: Touch the wires with the back of your hand to check for voltage.
C: Attach a ground strap.
D: Use an electric meter to check for voltage.
Question 9: Section 1926.416 Electrical Safety-Related Work Practices: General Requirements
Question ID#: 8
Electric cords must have the ground plug intact and
no cuts on the insulation.
The general requirements for the use of electric cords is short and to the point: Worn
or frayed electric cords or cables shall not be used.
This is a very common OSHA violation. Although it does not mention splicing electric
cords in this section, the National Electrical Code says only hard service and junior
hard service cords can be spliced in sizes #14 and larger. The newly-spliced cord
must be insulated as well as the unspliced cord. Taping a cord with electrician's tape
does not satisfy this requirement and is not acceptable.
Inspecting electric cords is an important part of any safety program. Cords should be
checked for cuts and abrasions, and cord ends should have the ground terminal
intact and not cut off. The outer insulation of the cord should be held firmly by the
cord clamp on the cord end. Extension cords cannot be fastened to the wall or hung
from nails.
Question 9: Which of the following electric cords may be used?

A: A cord with the outer insulation cut.
B: A cord that has had the ground terminal is cut off the end.
C: A cord that has been repaired with electrician's tape.
D: A hard service cord (#14) that has been spliced.
Question ID#: 521
Question 10: What is your favorite sport?

A: Football
B: Basketball
C: Baseball
D: None of the above
Question 11: Section 1926.501 Fall Protection: Duty to Have Fall Protection
Question ID#: 10
Bungee cords are not fall protection.
Any unprotected side or edge of a building which is more than 6 feet above ground,
or 6 feet above the next lower level, is a fall hazard. Employees working in these
areas must have fall protection.
Fall protection is provided by one of three methods. (1) Guardrails. (2) Safety nets or
(3) personal fall arrest systems.
Safety nets are not common in building construction and are used mostly on large
projects and bridges. Guardrails are the best solution when the work will continue
over an extended period of time and unrestricted freedom of movement is important.
Personal fall arrest systems, usually safety harnesses, work best for protecting
individual workers. Since January 1,1998 safety belts have been replaced by safety
harnesses. Safety belts were found to cause internal injuries when the wearer fell
more than a few feet. Safety belts can still be used to tether or tie off a worker so he
cannot get near the edge of a building.
A lanyard or safety rope with snaphooks connects to a ring on the back of the safety
harness. The other end of the lanyard should be connected to the building structure.
How the other end of the lanyard is connected is very important since it will have to
stop the fall.
The snaphook which connects the lanyard to the building should not be connected to
webbing, rope or wire rope. The snaphook should not be connected to another
snaphook or to a ring that is supporting another safety harness. The snaphook should
not be connected to a horizontal lifeline.
All snaphooks used with safety harnesses have to be the locking type and cannot use
a spring returned keeper.
Question 11: Which would be considered safe according to this section?

A: A safety belt used as a fall arrest system.
B: A snap hook that was not the locking type.
C: The unprotected edge of a building.
D: A safety harness connected by lanyard to the building structure.
Question 12: Section 1926.21 General Safety and Health Provisions: Safety Training and Education
Question ID#: 11
The goal of safety training is to demonstrate how to
recognize and avoid hazards.
The goal of safety training is to enable employers and employees to recognize, avoid
and prevent unsafe conditions. Most safety programs seek to prevent injuries by
eliminating unsafe conditions and practices.
The best safety programs create a culture of safety where everyone on the job
recognizes safety as an important goal and takes individual responsibility for spotting
safety hazards and working in a safe manner.
OSHA itself is charged with establishing and supervising programs which provide
safety training. Employers are encouraged to take advantage of the resources OSHA
has to offer.
Training must be provided so the employee can recognize and avoid hazards in the
normal course of his work.
Work in a confined space is noted as being especially dangerous. Toxic or flammable
gases can accumulate in a confined space, or drive out all the oxygen, making it
impossible to breathe. Strict procedures must be met before an employee can enter a
confined space and training is necessary to minimize the hazards.
Question 12: Which of the following is a TRUE statement?

A: OSHA does not provide any training.
B: The goal of training is to help employees recognize and avoid hazards.
C: At least 15 minutes of safety training is required every week.
D: Only an OSHA official can conduct safety training.
Question 13: Section 1910.29 Scaffolds: Manually Propelled Mobile Ladder Stands and Scaffolds
Question ID#: 15
Ladder stands can be moved about easily.
Ladder stands are used for interior construction work because they can be moved
about easily. It is safer to carry loads up and down the stairs of a ladder stand than it
is to carry a load on a ladder.
Section 1910.29 contains information about how ladder stands must be built and
used:
* The minimum width of any working platform must be 20 inches
* The minimum step width is 16 inches
* Wheels or casters must have a positive wheel lock to prevent movement
* Where leveling of the work platform is required, screw jacks must be provided to
adjust the height of the mobile unit
* All ladder stands shall be able to support 4 times the design working load
Question 13: Which of the following would be a safety violation?

A: Picking up a mobile ladder stand with a fork truck to increase the working height.
B: Carrying two light fixtures onto a ladder stand.
C: Moving a ladder stand with someone on it.
D: Facing down while walking down a ladder stand.
Question 14: Section 1926.1053 Ladders
Question ID#: 17
Barricades should be used if a ladder is set up in a
passageway.
If a ladder is in good repair, if it is placed correctly, and if the person climbing it is
using good judgement then it should be safe.
One possible problem can come from getting knocked off the ladder by human or
vehicle traffic. OSHA recognizes this and says: Ladders placed in any location where
they can be displaced by workplace activities or traffic, such as in passageways,
doorways, or driveways, shall be secured to prevent accidental displacement, or a
barricade shall be used to keep the activities or traffic away from the ladder.
Also, the area around the top and bottom of ladders shall be kept clear.
Question 14: If a ladder is placed in a passageway or near a doorway:

A: A barrier should be placed around the ladder.
B: A warning sign should be placed on the door.
C: An employee must warn passersby to avoid the ladder.
D: Ladders cannot be placed near doorways.
Question ID#: 522
Question 15: What is your favorite season?

A: Spring
B: Summer
C: Fall
D: Winter
Question 16: Section 1926.20 General Safety and Health Provisions
Question ID#: 19
This section is about safety programs.
OSHA requires an employer to have a safety program. Insurance companies want to see safety programs in place.
Insurance premiums drop if a contractor has a good safety record. Safety programs mean fewer accidents and injuries.
What is a good safety program? How do I start a safety program if I don't have one in place already?
Two excellent resources are OSHA itself, and The National Safety Council.
OSHA has a consultation service which is separate from the enforcement division. They will make mock on-site inspections
and write a report of violations with recommendations about how to fix them. The report is not passed on to the enforcement
office. OSHA also provides training and education seminars throughout the country. The OSHA office of Training and
Education telephone number is 847-297-4810. In North Carolina, the OSHA consultation service telephone number is
919-807-2899.
The National Safety Council also provides training and consultation services for employers. They have extensive safety
materials which can be used in safety programs. To request a catalog of safety materials call The National Safety Council at
800-621-7619. The National Safety Council office in North Carolina can be reached at 800-868-8777.
Question 16: Which statement is FALSE?

A: OSHA's consultation service passes mock inspection reports on to the enforcement office.
B: OSHA provides training and education seminars throughout the country.
C: The National Safety Council provides training and consultation services to employers.
D: Employers are required to have a safety program.
Question 17: Section 5A0001 General Duty Clause
Question ID#: 24
Four dangerous occupations: fishing, logging,
piloting, construction.
The general duty clause spells out the responsibilities of the employer and
employee for occupational safety.
The employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of
employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to his employees; and shall comply with
occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
The employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all
rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his
own actions and conduct.
OSHA fines are paid by the employer, not the employee. It generally is considered
the responsibility of the employer to monitor the actions of the employee to make
sure safety procedures are being followed.
There are many dangerous occupations. Construction is one of them. It has one of
the highest fatality rates of all occupations. Jobs that have more deaths per 100,000
workers than construction work are commercial fishing, logging, and airplane
piloting. With the added risk of working with live voltages, electrical contractors and
their employees work in a dangerous field. Anything we can do to promote safety on
the job will save lives, reduce injuries and make our businesses more secure.
Question 17: Safety at work is:

A: A partnership between the employer and employee.
B: Mainly up to the employee.
C: The responsibility of the State department of Labor.
D: The responsibility of Federal OSHA.
Question 18: Section 1926.502 Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices
Question ID#: 28
Guardrails, safety nets and safety harnesses are 3
ways to provide fall protection.
Falls were responsible for 34% of construction deaths last year. The 3 main ways to
provide fall protection are (1) Guardrails, (2) Safety nets, and (3) Personal fall arrest
systems.
Guard rails must be installed so that the top rail is 42 inches, plus or minus 3 inches,
from the working surface. Midrails must be installed if the space between the floor
and top rail is open. Safety nets are more common in bridge construction and ship
building than in general construction. When they are used they must be installed as
close as possible under the walking/ working surface and in no case more than 30
feet below the working level. Personal fall arrest systems include the popular safety
harness with all the necessary hardware and attachments. Before January 1,1998 a
safety belt was acceptable, but now a harness is required.
The attachment point of the safety harness must be in the center of the wearer's
back, near shoulder level. The lanyard that attaches to the safety harness must be
attached to the building support point with a locking type snap hook. Guardrails may
not be used as support attachment points for safety harnesses.
Question 18: Which of the following is an acceptable personal fall arrest system?

A: A bungee cord.
B: A safety belt.
C: Steel toe shoes.
D: A safety harness.
Question 19: Section 1926.100 Personal Protective Equipment: Head Protection
Question ID#: 30
Class G hardhats: protection below 2200 volts. Class
E hardhats: protection above 2200 volts.
This section is why we have to wear a hard hat on most construction sites. Whenever
there is a danger from impact, like hitting your head on a beam, or when falling or
flying objects could hit you on the head, or when there is danger of electric shock, a
hard hat is required.
There are three different types of electrical protection:
Class C - Conductive; provides no electrical protection. Usually metal hardhats
Class G - General; provides protection up to 2200 volts. This is the standard hard
hat
Class E - Electrical; provides protection above 2200 volts. Usually full brim.
Question 19: An electrical utility contractor that had employees working on power transmission lines over 50,000
volts should supply his workers:

A: Class C hardhats.
B: Class G hardhats.
C: Class E hardhats.
D: Type 1 hardhats.
Question ID#: 523
Question 20: How long have you been in the trade?

A: Less than 1 year
B: 1-4 years
C: 5-10 years
D: More than 10 years
Question 21: Section 1910.67 Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms
Question ID#: 33
Bucket trucks and cherry pickers.
Bucket trucks and cherry pickers are covered in this section. The regulations
include:
A body belt must be worn with the lanyard attached to the boom or basket
It is not permissible to tie off to the pole or building
The employee has to stand in the basket and cannot sit on the edges or use planks
across the basket to gain extra working height
Only trained persons can operate this type of equipment
The brakes have to be set and the outriggers secured to a stable surface
Hydraulic hoses must pass the bursting safety factor test and electrical tests must
confirm the electrical insulating value of the bucket
Question 21: Which of the following would be considered a safe working practice?

A: Standing on an overturned 5 gallon bucket in a cherry picker to increase your reach.
B: Using a body belt tied off to the boom of the bucket truck.
C: Using a body belt tied off to the building.
D: Letting a new, untrained employee operate the lower controls of a bucket truck.
Question 22: Section 1910.147 The Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout)
Question ID#: 34
Lockout saves lives.
Since part 1910 of the OSHA act is about General Industry and not Construction this
section applies to the servicing and maintenance of machines or equipment, in
industry. The section about lockout/tagout that applies to construction is 1926.417.
They are very similar.
The employer must set up a lockout/tagout program which includes energy control
procedures, training, and regular inspections to guarantee employees are following
the correct procedures.
If a device is capable of being locked out, it shall be locked and not tagged. Only
those devices which cannot be locked can be tagged. Since 1990 all energy isolating
devices, like disconnect switches and circuit breaker enclosures, had to be
manufactured so they could be locked out.
All energy isolating devices that are needed to control the energy of the machine or
equipment shall be physically located and operated in such a manner as to isolate the
machine or equipment from the energy sources. Lockout or tagout devices shall be
affixed to each energy isolating device by authorized employees.
When more than one crew, craft or department is involved in machine maintenance,
each authorized employee shall install his or her own personal lock to the group
lockout device. When the person stops work on the machine they may remove their
lock. If more than one shift is involved, a system of coordination between shifts shall
be used to guarantee the machine stays locked out on all shifts.
When a machine or equipment is released from lockout all machine operators and
other affected employees must be told the lockouts are being removed. Each person
who put a lock on the machine must personally remove his own lock. If the employee
who installed a lock is not available, the employer must try to find him and have him
personally remove his lock. If the employee cannot be located, the employer may
remove the lock using established procedures.The employee must be notified his lock
was removed.
Question 22: Electricians, millwrights and pipefitters are all working on the same machine. What is the minimum
number of locks that should be on the group lockout device?

A: 4.
B: 3.
C: 2.
D: 1.
Question 23: Section 1926.25 General Safety
Question ID#: 36
Bad housekeeping causes accidents.
Good housekeeping makes the jobsite safer. Poor housekeeping makes the jobsite
more dangerous. Scrap lumber with nails sticking out can be stepped on. Sheetmetal
scraps can cause cuts. Wire scraps can be a tripping hazard.
Combustible scrap and debris have to be removed at regular times. Containers have
to be provided to collect and separate waste, trash, oily and used rags, and other
refuse. Containers used for flammable or hazardous wastes must have covers. Trash
containers have to be removed when full.
Question 23: OSHA enforces good housekeeping practices because:

A: Sloppiness is a sign of poor workmanship.
B: It is easier to pass OSHA inspections if the construction site is neat.
C: An orderly site makes the work go faster.
D: Good housekeeping practices mean fewer injuries.
Question 24: Section 1910.269 Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution
Question ID#: 38
Working in an enclosed space can be hazardous.
Many different working situations are covered here. Jobs performed on overhead
lines, in excavations, or in enclosed spaces, or on generating stations are all
included.
Work in enclosed spaces, like in manholes, can be dangerous. It is not as dangerous
as work in sealed tanks or vessels, which is covered in another section called
permit-required confined spaces, but it still can be hazardous.
The requirements for work in enclosed spaces are:
Employees must be trained in (1) the hazards of enclosed space entry, (2) work
procedures in an enclosed space and (3) rescue procedures
The employer must provide such training
Rescue equipment has to be available at the enclosed space
When the cover to an enclosed space is removed a barrier around the opening has
to be installed
An attendant who is trained in first aid must remain at the opening
Continuous forced air ventilation must be provided or the internal atmosphere must
be monitored for lack of oxygen
Question 24: Which of the following is NOT necessary before entering an enclosed space?

A: A second employee with first aid experience must stay outside near the opening of the enclosed space.
B: Rescue equipment has to be available at the enclosed space.
C: A barrier has to be placed around the opening.
D: Employees must wear an oxygen mask in enclosures with floor space smaller than 16 sq. ft.
Question ID#: 524
Question 25: In my free time I like to:

A: Spend time with my family
B: Go to the movies
C: Hunt or fish
D: Relax with my friends
Question 26: Section 1926.102 Personal Protective Equipment: Eye and Face Protection
Question ID#: 39
Protect your eyes and face.
Even knights of old wanted to protect their face! Nobody wants to lose an eye or
have their face disfigured. When there is a chance of injury to the eyes or face from
a physical, chemical or radiation hazard, then personal protective equipment, like
safety glasses and face shields must be worn.
When there is a danger of objects entering the eye from the side, as in most drilling
and chipping work, and other work that produces flying debris side shields must be
worn.
Costs for safety glasses vary widely. Low cost "visitor" glasses start at $1.45. High
end models can cost over $12.00. Adjustable nosepads and temples (the part that
goes behind the ear) are good features that make the glasses more comfortable,
and more likely to be worn. Scratch resistant lenses mean the glasses will not have
to be replaced as often.
When workers wear prescription glasses they must wear goggles over the glasses
or wear prescription safety glasses.
When doing any type of welding or flame cutting, glasses or hoods with the correct
shade number on the filter lens must be used.
Question 26: On a construction site when there is a danger of flying objects striking the eye:

A: Safety glasses must be worn.
B: Safety glasses with side shields must be worn.
C: Wearing safety glasses is voluntary.
D: Safety glasses are not needed if wearing sun-glass or any type of glasses to correct vision.
Question 27: Section 1926.150 Fire Protection
Question ID#: 40
All employees should have access to fire fighting
equipment.
This section does not say that each truck owned by an electrical contractor must have
a fire extinguisher. It does say the employer shall provide for the firefighting
equipment as specified in this subpart.
Also, access to all available firefighting equipment shall be maintained at all times.
And, all firefighting equipment provided by the employer shall be conspicuously
located. And, all firefighting equipment shall be periodically inspected and maintained
in operating condition. Defective equipment shall be immediately replaced.
Supplying a fire extinguisher with a class C rating, that can be used on electrical fires,
makes sense for electrical contractors. We may be in a position to prevent a fire from
spreading and saving lives.
Question 27: Select the TRUE statement:

A: Class C fire extinguishers may be used on electrical fires.
B: Electrical contractors are required to carry fire extinguishers in work trucks.
C: Access to fire extinguishers should be limited to firefighters.
D: Defective equipment shall be replaced within 4 weeks of discovery.
Question 28: Section 1926.95 Criteria for Personal Protective Equipment
Question ID#: 42
An early example of personal protective equipment.
When knights rode into battle they protected themselves with their personal suit of
armor. Personal protective equipment is required today in the workplace to protect
employees from accidents on the job.
An entire section of the OSHA law is about personal protective equipment. The
general statement at the beginning of the section says that equipment such as safety
glasses, gloves, respirators and steel toe shoes have to be worn if they can help
protect a worker from injury.
Personal protective equipment must be provided for, and worn by, employees
working with sharp or heavy objects which can cause physical injury, dangerous
substances such as acid or chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin, or who
may breathe hazardous material.
An employee can supply his own protective equipment, but the employer must make
sure it will meet safety standards and is kept in good working condition. For example,
if an employee supplies his own safety glasses, his supervisor should make sure they
have side shields, if required.
Question 28: Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A: Employees must provide their own personal equipment.
B: Employers must provide personal protective equipment if necessary.
C: If an employee supplies his own personal protective equipment the employer should check to see it meets safety
standards.
D: Equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, respirators, and steel toe shoes have to be worn if they can help protect a
worker.
Question 29: Section 1926.21 Safety Training and Education
Question ID#: 45
The safety team can work miracles like super
heroes.
A good safety training program educates all employees to recognize unsafe
conditions or practices. Much of safety training is common sense, but you must know
how to recognize the hazard in order to avoid it.
The best safety training programs make every worker a member of the safety team
and don't depend on a safety committee alone to monitor work practices. The safety
team can be super heroes!
Everyday, every worker should know the answers to these questions:
Am I wearing my personal safety equipment: hardhat, safety glasses and steel toe
shoes?
Are my tools in good repair, and do I use them the way they were intended to be
used? Like not using a screwdriver for a chisel.
Do I set up ladders carefully, with the base secure and the top rung 3 feet above the
level I am climbing to?
Are scaffolds built correctly? Do they have a firm foundation? Are there big gaps
between scaffold boards?
Do I stay away from the unprotected edge of buildings to keep from falling?
Do I wear a safety harness when required?
Do I avoid dangerous substances like asbestos, lead or hazardous chemicals?
Do I stay out of the way of loads passing overhead?
Are people around me acting unsafely? Are they putting me in danger?
Question 29: The goal of safety training should be to:

A: Get all employees involved in safe work practices.
B: Meet insurance requirements.
C: Comply with OSHA requirements.
D: Comply with NFPA70E requirements.
Question 30: Section 1910.146 General Requirement Controls: Permit-Required Confined Spaces
Question ID#: 48
There are many requirements for workers entering
permit required confined spaces.
This section protects employees from the hazards of entry into permit-required
confined spaces. Confined spaces are large enough so that an employee can enter
and perform the work, but they have limited or restricted entry or exit (like tanks,
vaults, or pits) and are not designed for continuous occupancy.
A permit is required for a confined space if at least one of the following is true. The
confined space:
- Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere (for example,
oxygen concentration below 19.5% or above 23.5%, flammable gas in excess of 10%
of its LFL, or any condition that is immediately dangerous to life or health).
- Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing the entrant (presence of
substances that can be aspirated to cause death).
- Has an internal configuration so that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated.
- Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.
In order to obtain a permit for one permit-required confined space, an employer must
do the following::
- Implement measures to prevent unauthorized entry.
- Identify and evaluate the hazards of the space before entry.
- Develop and implement the procedures and practices for safe operations
including:
o Specify acceptable entry conditions.
o Provide each authorized entrant a chance to observe the testing of the space.
o Isolate the permit space.
o Ventilate the space to eliminate or control atmospheric hazards.
o Provide barriers to protect entrants from external hazards.
o Verify that the conditions in the space are acceptable through the duration of the
entry.
- Provide the required equipment (such as monitoring, ventilation, protection,
lighting, and communication equipment) at no cost to employees.
- Evaluate permit space conditions when operations are conducted.
- Provide at least one attendant outside the space during operations.
- Provide each designated employee with training for his or her role (such as
attendant).
- Develop and implement procedures for rescue and emergency services.
- Develop and implement a system for the preparation, use, and cancellation of
entry permits.
- Develop and implement procedures for concluding entry after operations.
The permit then needs to be signed before entry and made available at the time of
entry for all authorized entrants. The duration of the permit should be equal to the
time required to complete the operation, and it must be cancelled after the operation
is completed.
As for the authorized entrant; his or her duties include the following:
- Know the hazards that may be faced. For example, know the signs or
symptoms of exposure.
- Properly use equipment.
- Communicate with attendant as necessary so that attendant can monitor entrant
status.
- Alert the attendant if a symptom occurs or a prohibited condition is detected.
- Exit from the space as quickly as possible whenever an order to evacuate is
given, an alarm is activated, symptoms are occurring, or a prohibited condition is
detected.

Question 30: An authorized entrant is in a permit-required confined space when the concentration of carbon
dioxide in the space goes over 5,000 PPM. He also notices that he is beginning to feel dizzy and breathing rapidly.
What should he do?

A: Put on his personal protective equipment and breathing mask.
B: Contact the attendant and ask him to increase the ventilation.
C: Contact the attendant and immediately exit the confined space.
D: Contact the supervisor and let him know about the change in conditions.
