OSHA Safety Quiz ~ Answers

“What are the answers?!” was a common question I have gotten over the past few weeks. Well, I did promised to write a blog post with all the answers to these quiz questions I created.  They are provided here just below my outline!  (Here is a quick tip:  Whenever you train, endeavor to build curiosity.  Because curiosity is attention’s best friend.  Apparently for some people, it worked since they were asking me repeatedly for the answers.)  I’m sorry to have made you wait so long!

Oh, one more thing:  Please keep in mind, these questions were written for a manufacturer.  So a few questions are specifically written for OSHA’s General Industry regulations such as the 4-foot rule for guardrails.  To contrast that to Construction regs, the trigger height for fall protection in OSHA’s Construction regulations is 6 feet.

If you have any questions or disagree with one of my answers (or see a typo), please write a comment and I’ll be sure to reply.  Thanks so much!
