  • 2. 

    Lockout/Tagout must be used only on the primary energy source for a machine.

    • Yes, only the primary energy source is strong enough to kill/injure someone.

    • No, you must be protected from any energy source or movement.

    Correct Answer
    A. No, you must be protected from any energy source or movement.
    Explanation
    Lockout/Tagout is a safety procedure used to ensure that machines and equipment are properly shut off and not able to be started up again until maintenance or repair work is completed. The purpose of Lockout/Tagout is to protect workers from hazardous energy sources that could cause injury or death. While the primary energy source is often the most powerful and dangerous, there may be other energy sources or movements within the machine that could also pose a risk. Therefore, it is important to be protected from any energy source or movement, not just the primary one.

    Guards are always a metal or plastic guard between us and the machine.

    • No, there are other means/methods/equipment to keep us safe also.

    Correct Answer
    A. No, there are other means/methods/equipment to keep us safe also.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "No, there are other means/methods/equipment to keep us safe also." This answer suggests that guards are not the only way to protect us from machines. There may be other safety measures or equipment in place to ensure our safety.

    Lockout/Tagout is only used by authorized employees in any industrial facility.

    • Yes, you must be authorized by your company to use Lockout/Tagout.

    • No, anyone in the plant may use the technique.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, you must be authorized by your company to use Lockout/Tagout.
    Explanation
    Lockout/Tagout is a safety procedure used in industrial facilities to ensure that machines or equipment are properly shut off and not able to be restarted while maintenance or repairs are being performed. This procedure is potentially dangerous and requires specific knowledge and training to be carried out safely. Therefore, it is necessary for employees to be authorized by their company before they can use Lockout/Tagout to prevent accidents or injuries.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following is NOT true:

    • A guard must not be a source of additional risk.

    • A guard must be secured to a machine.

    • A guard must be easy to remove.

    • A guard must not be able to control machine operation

    Correct Answer
    A. A guard must be easy to remove.
    Explanation
    This statement is not true because a guard should not be easy to remove. Guards are designed to protect individuals from potential hazards associated with the operation of a machine. If a guard is easy to remove, it increases the risk of accidents and exposes individuals to potential harm. Guards should be securely attached to the machine to ensure their effectiveness in preventing accidents and protecting individuals from any additional risks.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What determines when Lockout/Tagout shall be used?

    • When an operator must do daily maintenance

    • Only when the operator has a buddy to help

    • Whenever a guard must be opened/removed to make a repair

    • None of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Whenever a guard must be opened/removed to make a repair
    Explanation
    Lockout/Tagout is a safety procedure used to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not able to be started up again until maintenance or repairs are completed. It involves isolating the energy source and placing a lock or tag on the equipment to prevent accidental activation. Whenever a guard must be opened or removed to make a repair, Lockout/Tagout should be used to ensure the safety of the operator. This is because removing the guard exposes the operator to potential hazards, and using Lockout/Tagout helps to prevent accidental startup of the machine while the repair is being done.
