Check ladders for cracks, loose rungs, or other damage before using them

Inspect ladders only when they are new

#56. A work order states: ‘Label all disconnects clearly with the equipment they control.’ What should be done?

Label only the main disconnect

Leave switchgear doors open without barriers

Only post a small sign without any barricade

Allow anyone to pass through the area

#58. A policy reads: ‘Use only grounded or double-insulated tools.’ What should workers do?

Use only battery tools and avoid inspections

Choose tools that are either grounded or double-insulated

Remove the ground prong to fit outlets

Use ungrounded tools whenever possible

#59. A notice says: ‘Do not block emergency exits with materials or equipment.’ What must be ensured?

Only small tools may block exits

Emergency exits remain clear and unobstructed

Exits are blocked only during breaks

Materials block exits but are labeled
