5 real sample questions

PPE provided to employees must be:

A. Selected at random from whatever is in the supply closet

B. Properly fitted to the employee and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition

C. Shared among all employees on a single shift without individual fitting

D. Optional to wear once initially issued

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Properly fitted to the employee and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition

A: Random selection without regard to fit or hazard match does not satisfy the standard's requirements.
C: Sharing unfitted equipment across employees undermines the requirement for a proper individual fit.
D: Once PPE is determined necessary for a hazard, its use is required, not optional at the employee's discretion.

Source: 29 CFR 1910.132(a)

Under the general PPE standard, when must an employer provide personal protective equipment?

A. Only when an employee specifically requests it in writing

B. Whenever hazards capable of causing injury or illness are present or likely to be present, requiring the use of PPE to reduce the hazard

C. Only after a recordable injury has already occurred

D. Only for employees who have worked at the facility for more than one year

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Whenever hazards capable of causing injury or illness are present or likely to be present, requiring the use of PPE to reduce the hazard

A: The employer's duty to assess and provide PPE is not contingent on an employee's written request.
C: Waiting for an injury to occur before providing PPE defeats the preventive purpose of the standard.
D: The requirement applies based on hazard exposure, not an employee's length of service.

Source: 29 CFR 1910.132(a)

Before PPE is required, the standard contemplates that the employer will first attempt to address hazards through:

A. Feasible engineering and work-practice controls, using PPE in conjunction with or when those controls are not sufficient

B. Ignoring the hazard until an OSHA inspection occurs

C. Reassigning the hazard to a different employee permanently

D. Purchasing the most expensive PPE available regardless of hazard type

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Feasible engineering and work-practice controls, using PPE in conjunction with or when those controls are not sufficient

B: Ignoring a known hazard is inconsistent with the employer's general duty to protect employees.
C: Permanently reassigning a hazard to another employee does not eliminate or control it and is not a recognized hazard-control approach.
D: Cost of equipment is not a substitute for matching PPE to the actual hazard identified in the assessment.

Source: 29 CFR 1910.132(a)

Before requiring PPE, an employer must do what regarding the workplace?

A. Assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or likely to be present, that necessitate the use of PPE

B. Wait for the employee to identify hazards on their own

C. Consult only the equipment manufacturer's marketing materials

D. Assess only areas where a fatality has previously occurred

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or likely to be present, that necessitate the use of PPE

B: The obligation to assess hazards rests with the employer, not solely the employee.
C: Marketing materials are not the basis for a hazard assessment; the assessment must evaluate the actual workplace hazards.
D: The assessment requirement is not limited to areas with a prior fatality; it applies proactively across the workplace.

Source: 29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1)

The employer must verify that the required workplace hazard assessment has been performed through:

A. A verbal statement made at a staff meeting with no record kept

B. A written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated, the person certifying the evaluation, and the date(s) of the assessment

C. A handshake agreement with the safety committee chair

D. An entry in the employee break room logbook

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. A written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated, the person certifying the evaluation, and the date(s) of the assessment

A: An undocumented verbal statement does not meet the requirement for a written certification.
C: An informal handshake agreement does not satisfy the written certification requirement.
D: A break room logbook entry is not the specific written certification the standard requires.
