1 and 1\/2 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trench boxes or shields must be designed or approved by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for each work group at the end of each month in which all members of the work group comply with applicable safety rules, such as wearing required fall protection. Doug sustains a lost-time injury when he falls from a platform while not wearing required fall protection. Doug\u2019s employer cancelled the cash prize drawing for Doug\u2019s work group that month because Doug failed to wear required fall protection. The employer actively monitors its workforce for compliance with applicable work rules and cancels the cash prize drawings when it discovers work rule violations regardless of whether the employee who violated the work rule also reported an injury.

The first step in building a scaffold is to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conduct a site inspection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A scaffold must be erected \u201cplumb, square, and level,\u201d because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a scaffold is built even a few degrees off plumb, the resulting instability could cause the weight of the scaffold to shift, potentially causing the overloading of one leg and the eventual collapse of the scaffold<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OSHA 1926.454(c) states: When an employer has reason to believe that an employee lacks the skill or understanding needed for safe work involving the erection, use or dismantling of scaffolds, the employer shall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retrain each such employee so that the requisite proficiency is regained<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overhead protective covering<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The greatest hazards posed by hand tools result from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
misuse and improper maintenance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp, abrasive, pinching, or otherwise hazardous moving parts of power tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Must have protective guard to prevent contact with workers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before an abrasive wheel is mounted, it should be inspected closely and:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sound- or ring-tested to ensure that it is free from cracks or defects<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neither the operator nor anyone else should ever stand directly in front of the wheel of an abrasive power tool as it accelerates to full operating speed. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because there is always the chance that the wheel wasn\u2019t sound and could disintegrate or explode<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pneumatic tools are powered by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compressed air<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Powder-actuated tools are extremely dangerous, with a \u201cfiring\u201d mechanism similar to that of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a powder-actuated tool misfires, the employee should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wait at least 30 seconds, then try firing again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All jacks \u2013 lever and ratchet jacks, screw jacks, and hydraulic jacks \u2013 must have a device that stops them from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacking up too high (a stop indicator)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OSHA defines a trench as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A narrow excavation made below the surface of the ground in which the depth is greater than the width \u2013 with the width not to exceed 15 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
True or False: There is usually some form of warning before a cave-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
False<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OSHA requires that all excavations in which employees could potentially be exposed to cave-ins be protected by one or more of the following three methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sloping, benching, shoring, shielding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The formula for all simple slope excavations 20 feet (6.11 meters) or less deep states that for every foot of depth, the trench must be excavated back:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 and 1\/2 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trench boxes or shields must be designed or approved by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a registered professional engineer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shoring or shielding is most often used when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The location or the depth of the excavation makes sloping back to the maximum allowable slope impractical<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned in this module, in addition to cave-ins and related hazards, workers involved in excavation work also are exposed to hazards involving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Falls, falling loads and mobile equipment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employees are prohibited from working above other employees on the face of a sloped or benched excavation unless:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workers on lower level have overhead protection from falling objects<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent surface water from entering an excavation and to provide adequate drainage of the adjacent area, OSHA standards require the use of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water removal equipment, diversion ditches, dikes, or other suitable methods<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of materials handling, storage, use and disposal, remember that the main hazards are injuries from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Improper lifting and carrying
