  Never use a fall arrest system
Correct Answer
B. 6 feet

Explanation
A personal fall arrest system should be employed above a height of 6 feet. This is because falls from this height or higher can cause serious injuries or even fatalities. By using a fall arrest system, individuals can prevent or minimize the impact of a fall by being safely suspended in the air. Therefore, it is important to implement this safety measure when working at heights of 6 feet or more to protect workers from potential accidents.

It's okay to use the top two steps on an 'A' frame ladder if you have the assistance of a spotter, but only for a short period of time.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Using the top two steps on an 'A' frame ladder, even with the assistance of a spotter, is not safe. This is because the top two steps are not designed to bear weight and can easily lead to loss of balance and falls. It is important to always follow ladder safety guidelines and only use the ladder as intended to prevent accidents and injuries.

Explanation
A Fall Arrest Anchor Point must be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs per attached worker. This weight capacity ensures that the anchor point can withstand the force exerted on it in the event of a fall, providing a safe and secure attachment for the worker. It is important for the anchor point to have a high weight capacity to prevent any potential accidents or injuries.

Correct Answer
C. 4 feet (48 inches)

Explanation
According to ANSI Z359.13, an energy absorber on a 6 ft. lanyard can deploy up to 4 feet (48 inches). This means that if a fall occurs, the energy absorber will extend up to 4 feet to absorb the impact and reduce the forces on the user's body. It is important to have an energy absorber that can deploy enough distance to effectively absorb the energy generated during a fall and protect the user from injury.

Explanation
Arresting Force refers to the force that is exerted on the body when it is stopped during a fall. This force is applied to prevent the person from falling further and causing injury. It is an important concept in fall protection systems, as it helps to absorb and distribute the force of impact, reducing the risk of injury to the person.
