  • 2. 

    The majority of submersion injuries involved non-swimmers in the shallow end of the pool—less than five feet of water—even with lifeguards on duty.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that most submersion injuries occur in non-swimmers who are in the shallow end of the pool, where the water is less than five feet deep. This is true even when lifeguards are present. This suggests that non-swimmers may underestimate the risks of being in shallow water and may not be aware of the potential dangers. It also highlights the importance of supervision and safety measures, such as lifeguards, to prevent submersion injuries.

    Which is the first step in the risk management decision-making process?

    • Determine options

    • Identify the risk

    • Conduct a survey

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Identify the risk
    Explanation
    The first step in the risk management decision-making process is to identify the risk. This involves identifying potential risks or hazards that could impact the project or organization. By identifying the risks, the decision-makers can then assess and analyze them to determine their potential impact and likelihood. This step is crucial in order to develop effective risk management strategies and plans to mitigate or minimize the risks.

    Talking with lifeguards is a good way to both identify risks and assess the results of a risk management strategy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Talking with lifeguards is a good way to identify risks because they are trained to recognize potential dangers and can provide valuable insights and knowledge about the specific area or situation. Additionally, lifeguards can assess the results of a risk management strategy by observing its effectiveness in preventing accidents or incidents. Their firsthand experience and expertise make them reliable sources of information for risk identification and evaluation.

    To protect non-swimmers:

    • Offer a swim test and visibly mark them so guards can tell swimmers from nonswimmers

    • Have nonswimmers wear lifejackets

    • Require that young nonswimmers stay within arms reach of a parent or guardian

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above options are ways to protect non-swimmers. Offering a swim test and visibly marking them allows lifeguards to easily identify non-swimmers and provide extra attention and assistance if needed. Having non-swimmers wear lifejackets provides an additional layer of safety in case they accidentally enter deep water. Requiring young non-swimmers to stay within arms reach of a parent or guardian ensures that they are constantly supervised and can be quickly assisted if necessary. Combining these measures helps to ensure the safety of non-swimmers in a swimming environment.

    Workers compensation covers injuries to employees only if the employer is at fault.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Workers compensation does not require the employer to be at fault for injuries to be covered. In fact, workers compensation is a no-fault system, meaning that employees are generally entitled to benefits regardless of who is at fault for the injury. This system is designed to provide quick and efficient compensation to injured workers without the need for litigation. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following are types of insurance policies that are considered mandatory.

    • Workers compensation

    • General liability

    • Workers compensation and a directors and officers policy

    • Workers compensation and a general liability policy

    Correct Answer
    A. Workers compensation and a general liability policy
    Explanation
    Workers compensation and general liability policies are considered mandatory types of insurance. Workers compensation insurance provides coverage for employees who are injured or become ill on the job, while general liability insurance protects businesses from third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage. Both policies are typically required by law in order to protect the interests of both employees and the general public.

    Human factors experts suggest that people are NOT more apt to obey safety signs when they can clearly understand the hazard, its consequences, and how to avoid it.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Human factors experts suggest that people are more apt to obey safety signs when they can clearly understand the hazard, its consequences, and how to avoid it. This is because clear and understandable signs provide individuals with the necessary information to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to ensure their safety.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which is NOT one of the four major safety messages that should be included in an aquatic signage system?

    • No prolonged breath-holding

    • Watch your children

    • No running

    • Nonswimmers must wear lifejackets

    Correct Answer
    A. No running
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer is that "No running" is not one of the four major safety messages that should be included in an aquatic signage system. The other three options, "No prolonged breath-holding," "Watch your children," and "Nonswimmers must wear lifejackets," are all important safety messages that should be included in an aquatic signage system to promote safety and prevent accidents in the water.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Signs should be placed so that patrons can view safety messages in ___ places prior to entering the water.

    • Two

    • Four

    • Six

    • Three

    Correct Answer
    A. Three
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Three" because placing signs in three different locations allows patrons to view safety messages multiple times before entering the water, increasing the likelihood that they will see and remember the important information. This helps to ensure their safety and prevent accidents or injuries.
