Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- When handling heavy metal planting with sharp edges, use steel-toed boots and gloves for safety.
Good Posture Examples
- Standing with legs straight and knees unlocked is not considered good posture.
- Maintaining a neutral posture is an example of good posture in a workplace setting.
Machine Safety Measures
- Using special hand tools to avoid the point of operation is an acceptable replacement for safety guards on machines.
Animal Handling Safety
- When checking a herd of goats, approach from the front to avoid startling them.
Chemical Exposure Risks
- Chemical exposure at work poses higher risks due to increased concentration and longer exposure duration compared to home environments.
Employer Responsibilities
- Employers have the flexibility to select the most suitable fall protection systems for their workers.
Forklift Safety Practices
- Reduce injury risks while operating forklifts by following safe driving practices, distributing loads correctly, and adhering to ramp driving guidelines.
Hand Tool Substitution
- Special hand tools can always be used instead of guards to avoid the point of operation on machinery.
Machine Movement Categories
- Machine movements consist of two main categories: motions and actions.
Workplace Violence Prevention
- Strategies to prevent workplace violence include sharing safety tips, maintaining situational awareness, planning responses to dangers, and reporting aggressive acts.
Biological Hazards
- Sources of biological hazards include animals, plants, and human blood or bodily fluids.
Sharps Container Handling

Direct Costs of Workplace Accidents
- Direct costs associated with workplace accidents include fees and medical bills.
Fire Risk Awareness
- Understanding fire risks helps prevent accidents from occurring by promoting preventative measures.
Chronic Exposure Symptoms
- Chronic exposure to harmful substances, such as cleaning solutions, can lead to persistent health issues like respiratory problems and increased sensitivity to environmental factors.

Electrical Safety Procedures
- Before an electrician works on machinery, it is essential to lock out and tag out the equipment’s electrical circuits.
Hearing Damage Risks
