Explanation
The minimum breaking strength of a vertical lifeline is typically determined by industry standards and regulations.

True or False, A horizontal lifeline allows workers to move up and down on a working surface?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
A horizontal lifeline does not allow workers to move up and down on a working surface. It is a safety device that is used to protect workers from falling while they are working at heights. It consists of a cable or line that is securely attached to anchor points on either side of the working area. Workers can attach themselves to the lifeline using a harness and lanyard, which allows them to move horizontally along the line, but not vertically.

Rate this question:
9.

If there are two types of Life Lines and one is known as Horizontal, what is the other type?

Correct Answer
Vertical

Explanation
The other type of life line, when one is known as horizontal, is vertical. Horizontal and vertical are two common orientations used to describe the position or direction of lines, objects, or movements. In this case, the question is asking for the other type of life line, and since one type is already identified as horizontal, the logical answer would be vertical.

A worker is 6ft tall and he is working 12ft. above the ground and is using a 4ft.lanyard with a shock absorber which has a deceleration distance of 3.5ft. If the worker were to fall will he be okay or will he hit the ground?
- A.
  
  "Yes, he would be okay"
- B.
  
  "No, he would hit the ground"
Correct Answer
B. "No, he would hit the ground"

Explanation
The worker is 6ft tall and is working 12ft above the ground. He is using a 4ft lanyard with a shock absorber that has a deceleration distance of 3.5ft. In the event of a fall, the shock absorber will only decelerate the fall by 3.5ft, which is less than the distance between the worker and the ground (12ft). Therefore, the worker will not be able to stop the fall in time and will hit the ground.

Rate this question:
11.

Is this definition correct? Does a restraint system prevent a worker from reaching a location where there is a risk of falling?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer

Explanation
A fall restraint system only keeps you from hitting the ground, but does not prevent you from falling.

- D.
  
  Serial number of all fall protection equipment.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Description of system used
B. Description of equipment
C. Identification of fall hazards

Explanation
The fall protection work plan should include a description of the system used, which refers to the specific fall protection measures and equipment in place. It should also include a description of the equipment, which provides details about the type and specifications of the fall protection equipment being used. Additionally, the plan should identify fall hazards, which involves identifying potential areas or situations where falls may occur. However, the serial number of all fall protection equipment is not typically included in the fall protection work plan.

The statement suggests that if someone has been trained and worked in the industry for years, they can work unclipped. However, the statement also states that this is only possible if they have been certified.
