Unfamiliar equipment

You are asked to use unfamiliar equipment. The fictional policy requires training and authorization first. What follows it?

Pause and obtain the required training and authorization before operating it. Try a few controls to learn by experience. Ask an untrained coworker to guess the procedure.
Answer: A.

The scenario requires training and authorization before use. Guessing or experimenting does not satisfy that requirement.

An unknown spill

You notice an unknown spill. The fictional procedure says to keep clear and notify the designated responder, not clean it yourself. What follows it?

Touch it to identify the substance. Keep clear and use the designated reporting route. Mix in a cleaning product to remove it.
Answer: B.

Follow the stated procedure without contacting or treating the substance. This question does not teach spill cleanup.

A blocked exit

Boxes obstruct a marked exit route. The fictional procedure says to report blocked exits immediately to the site contact. What should you do?

Ignore it if another exit exists. Wait until the next scheduled meeting. Report the obstruction promptly through that route.
Answer: C.

Use the stated process promptly so the obstruction can be addressed by the responsible people.

Damaged equipment

A tool is visibly damaged. The fictional procedure says not to use it and to notify the responsible supervisor. What follows it?

Do not use it; notify the responsible supervisor. Use it gently until it breaks. Attempt a repair without authorization.
Answer: A.

The stated rule requires avoiding use and notifying the responsible person. This activity does not provide repair instructions.

An alarm

The site's evacuation alarm sounds. The fictional plan requires following the assigned evacuation route to the assembly point. What follows that plan?

Stay to finish your task. Follow the approved evacuation procedure to the assembly point. Return to collect personal belongings first.
Answer: B.

Follow the site's stated plan rather than delaying for a task or belongings. Actual emergency actions must follow current site instructions.

A near miss

An incident causes no injury but could have. The fictional policy requires reporting near misses. What should you do?

Report only if an injury appears later. Hide it to avoid discussing what happened. Report it through the designated process even though no one was injured.
Answer: C.

The scenario expressly includes near misses in reporting. Reporting provides information for the responsible safety process to review.
