OSHA Review Questions

MOD 9 Review Questions
What are some characteristics of employees who are likely to be accident repeaters?
Proud, tough repeaters often don't report "minor" pains and pride themselves on working through difficulties.
Some work harder than others and therefore may be at risk of greater physical stressors.
Fatigued workers may endure longer shifts, increasing workloads or forced overtime.
Distracted employees may have work or personal concerns that reduce their safety awareness.
Uninvolved people may not pay attention to safety procedures or care about doing things the safest way.
Unappreciated workers are often angry and their attention is expended on dwelling on what they should rightly be receiving.
2. Before being granted full authority for its occupational safety and health programs, a state must go through three steps. What are they?
To gain OSHA approval for a developmental plan - the first step in the State plan process - a State must assure OSHA that within three years it will have in place all the structural elements necessary for an effective occupational safety and health program. These elements include: appropriate legislation; regulations and procedures for standards setting, enforcement, appeal of citations and penalties; a sufficient number of qualified enforcement personnel.Once a State has completed and documented all its developmental steps, it is eligible for certification. Certification renders no judgment as to actual State performance, but merely attests to the structural completeness of the plan.At any time after initial plan approval, when it appears that the State is capable of independently enforcing standards, OSHA may enter into an "operational status agreement" with the State. This commits OSHA to suspend the exercise of discretionary federal enforcement in all or certain activities covered by the State plan.The ultimate accreditation of a State's plan is called final approval.
