Free OSHA #511 Exam Flashcards

The ability to define general-industry terms, identify general-industry hazards, locate and determine the appropriate OSHA standards, policies, and procedures, and use those requirements to supplement an ongoing safety and health program.

Employers must provide employment and a workplace free from recognized hazards causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm, and must comply with OSHA standards promulgated under the Act.

Employees must comply with occupational safety and health standards and with rules, regulations, and orders under the Act that apply to their own actions and conduct.

Part 1903 covers inspections, citations, and proposed penalties; Part 1904 covers injury and illness recording and reporting; Part 1910 contains federal OSHA occupational safety and health standards for general industry.

A representative of the employer and a representative authorized by employees must be given an opportunity to accompany the compliance officer. If there is no authorized employee representative, the officer consults with a reasonable number of employees.

Death, days away from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or a significant diagnosed injury or illness identified by the rule.

The treatments listed as first aid in 1904.7(b)(5)(ii) are an exhaustive list and remain first aid regardless of who provides them. Treatment beyond that list is medical treatment, regardless of the provider's professional status.

Form 300 is the injury and illness log, Form 301 is the incident report or an equivalent record, and Form 300A is the annual summary derived from the log.

Report a work-related fatality within 8 hours. Report an in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours.

No. Employers covered by the OSH Act must report the severe events specified in 1904.39 even when they are exempt from routinely keeping Part 1904 injury and illness records.

The hazard must be corrected or repaired before employees use the surface again. If immediate correction is not possible, the hazard must be guarded to prevent use until it is corrected or repaired.

Four feet or more above a lower level, unless another provision in the section supplies a different rule or exception.

Inspect it before initial use in each work shift and more often as necessary. A defective ladder must be immediately tagged “Dangerous: Do Not Use” or similarly marked and removed from service until repaired or replaced.

The route must remain free and unobstructed, required emergency safeguards must work, and exits and travel direction must be visible and appropriately marked.

Emergency reporting; evacuation and route assignments; critical operations before evacuation; accounting for employees after evacuation; assigned rescue or medical duties; and names or job titles of contacts for plan information.

How the workplace will meet requirements for labels and other warnings, safety data sheets, and employee information and training. The program also includes a hazardous-chemical list and methods for multi-employer communication when applicable.

A product identifier, signal word, hazard statement(s), pictogram(s), precautionary statement(s), and the responsible manufacturer's, importer's, or other responsible party's name, U.S. address, and telephone number, subject to the standard's labeling provisions.

“Danger” is used for the more severe hazard categories and “Warning” for less severe categories. When “Danger” applies, “Warning” does not also appear on the same label.

Maintain an SDS for each hazardous chemical and ensure the required information is readily accessible to employees during every work shift while they are in their work areas; electronic access cannot create barriers to immediate access.

At initial assignment and whenever a new chemical hazard that employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area.

Select PPE that protects against the identified hazard, ensure affected employees use it, communicate the selection, ensure proper fit, and verify the assessment with a written certification containing the information required by 1910.132(d)(2).

When PPE is necessary, what PPE is necessary, how to don, doff, adjust, and wear it, its limitations, and its proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal. The employee must demonstrate understanding and proper use.

The employer provides required PPE at no cost, subject to 1910.132(h)'s specific exceptions, such as qualifying non-specialty safety-toe footwear or prescription safety eyewear that may be worn off the job.

Medical evaluation comes first. The employer must determine the employee's ability to use a respirator before fit testing or requiring workplace respirator use.

A tight-fitting respirator user must be fit tested before initial use, for a different facepiece, and at least annually. A user seal check is performed each time the respirator is put on and does not replace the fit test.

When servicing or maintenance exposes an employee to injury from unexpected energizing, startup, or release of stored energy. The program consists of energy-control procedures, employee training, and periodic inspections.

The mechanic is the authorized employee because that worker applies lockout or tagout to perform covered servicing or maintenance. The operator is an affected employee because that worker normally operates or uses the equipment being serviced.

The employer must use lockout unless it demonstrates that tagout provides full employee protection under 1910.147(c)(3). If the device cannot be locked out, the energy-control program uses tagout.

Prepare for shutdown, shut down the machine, isolate all energy sources, apply lockout or tagout devices, restrain or dissipate stored energy, and verify isolation and deenergization before work begins.

At least annually, an authorized employee other than the employee or employees using the procedure being inspected performs the inspection to identify and correct deviations or inadequacies; the employer certifies the inspection.

It is large enough for bodily entry and assigned work, has limited or restricted entry or exit, and is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.

At least one of four conditions: a hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere; engulfment potential; an internal shape that can trap or asphyxiate; or another recognized serious safety or health hazard.

As soon as any part of an entrant's body breaks the plane of an opening into the permit-required confined space—not only when the person's whole body is inside.

Oxygen first, combustible gases and vapors next, and toxic gases and vapors last. Oxygen is first because many combustible-gas meters depend on adequate oxygen for reliable readings.

Remain outside until relieved, keep an accurate entrant count, communicate with entrants, monitor conditions inside and outside, order evacuation when required, summon rescue, prevent unauthorized entry, and perform no duty that interferes with monitoring and protection.

Hazards such as points of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, and flying chips or sparks, protecting both the operator and other employees in the machine area.

No. Tools that let an operator place or remove material without entering the danger zone may supplement required guarding, but they may not replace it.

The guard should be affixed to the machine where possible, or secured elsewhere if attachment is not possible, and the guard itself must not create an accident hazard.

Formal instruction, practical training with demonstrations and exercises, and evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace. Trainers and evaluators must have the necessary knowledge, training, and experience.

Refresher training follows unsafe operation, an accident or near miss, an evaluation showing unsafe operation, assignment to a different type of truck, or workplace changes affecting safe operation. Operator performance must be evaluated at least once every three years.

In accordance with the instructions included in its listing or labeling, as required by 1910.303(b)(2).

Deenergize them before employees work on or near them unless the employer demonstrates that deenergizing creates additional or increased hazards or is infeasible because of equipment design or operational limitations. Live parts operating below 50 volts to ground need not be deenergized when there is no increased exposure to electrical burns or explosion from electric arcs.

As energized parts. Turning off a control or disconnecting power is not enough without the required lockout/tagging and verification steps.

Only qualified persons familiar with safe energized-work techniques and the proper use of special precautions, PPE, insulating and shielding materials, and insulated tools.

Unless specifically permitted by 1910.305(g)(1)(ii), they may not substitute for fixed wiring, run through holes in walls, ceilings, or floors, run through doorways, windows, or similar openings, be attached to building surfaces, or be concealed behind walls, ceilings, or floors.

An 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA is the action level that triggers a continuing hearing-conservation program. The permissible-exposure schedule allows 90 dBA for 8 hours, with engineering or administrative controls required when exposure exceeds the table limits.

A written Exposure Control Plan designed to eliminate or minimize exposure. It must be accessible to employees and reviewed and updated at least annually and when tasks, procedures, positions, or safer technology require changes.

After required training and within 10 working days of initial assignment, at no cost, unless the employee previously completed the series, is immune, or vaccination is medically contraindicated.

The process hazard analysis must be updated and revalidated by a team meeting the standard's requirements. This review is required at least every five years so the analysis remains consistent with the current process.

At least every three years. The employer must promptly address findings, document corrections, and retain the two most recent compliance-audit reports.
