    You are required to wear eye protection on the jobsite:

    • When cutting materials with a power saw.

    • When using manual impact tools such as hammers.

    • When caulking, sanding, brushing or grinding.

    • At all times

    Correct Answer
    A. At all times
    Explanation
    Eye protection is necessary at all times on the jobsite because there are various tasks that can pose a risk to the eyes. Cutting materials with a power saw can produce flying debris, using manual impact tools such as hammers can cause particles to scatter, and tasks like caulking, sanding, brushing, or grinding can generate dust or small particles that can enter the eyes. Therefore, wearing eye protection at all times ensures the safety and prevents any potential eye injuries on the jobsite.

    What is the #1 cumulative injury in the construction industry?

    • Hearing loss

    • Vision loss

    • Respiratory damage

    • Joint damage

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hearing loss
    Explanation
    Hearing loss is the #1 cumulative injury in the construction industry because construction workers are exposed to high levels of noise from machinery, tools, and equipment. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can damage the delicate structures in the inner ear, leading to permanent hearing loss. Construction sites are known for their noisy environment, and without proper hearing protection, workers are at a higher risk of developing hearing problems over time. This makes hearing loss the most common cumulative injury in the construction industry.

    A safety harness with lanyard should be used when exposed to fall hazards of:

    • 4 feet or above

    • 5 feet or above

    • 6 feet or above

    • 8 feet or above

    • 10 feet or above

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 feet or above
    Explanation
    A safety harness with lanyard should be used when exposed to fall hazards of 6 feet or above. This is because falls from this height can cause serious injuries or even fatalities. A safety harness with lanyard is designed to prevent falls by securing the individual to an anchor point, allowing them to work at heights safely. Using a safety harness with lanyard is crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of workers when working at heights of 6 feet or higher.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 Decibels (DB)

    A shop saw measures how many decibels?

    • 80

    • 90

    • 100

    • 110

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 100
    Explanation
    A shop saw typically measures around 100 decibels. This is because shop saws are known to produce loud noise levels during operation. Decibels are used to measure the intensity of sound, and 100 decibels is considered to be very loud. It is important to wear hearing protection when working with shop saws to prevent potential hearing damage.
