A stack of materials as a platform

Any available chair or box

An approved ladder suitable for that height

#63. A safety sign says: ‘Eye protection required beyond this point.’ What must workers do?

Wear eye protection before entering the area

Carry eye protection without wearing it

Ignore the sign if entry is brief

Enter only if they do not use tools

#64. A directive states: ‘Complete all lockout/tagout documentation after de-energizing equipment.’ What does this mean?

Fill out required forms once the equipment is safely de-energized

Wait until the end of the project to document

Document only if an accident occurs
