  1. What is the primary purpose of a pre-job hazard analysis (JHA) before starting a task in industrial trades?

    Answer: To identify and mitigate hazards before work begins

    A job hazard analysis systematically identifies potential hazards for each step of a task so controls can be put in place before work starts.

  2. Under Ontario's noise regulations, continuous noise exposure at or above what level requires mandatory hearing protection?

    Answer: 85 dBA

    Ontario regulations require hearing protection when workers are exposed to noise levels at or above 85 dBA as an 8-hour time-weighted average.

  3. Which type of respirator is required when working in an atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)?

    Answer: A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or supplied-air respirator

    IDLH atmospheres require SCBA or supplied-air respirators with escape capability because air-purifying devices cannot provide adequate protection.

  4. How often must a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) be inspected in Ontario industrial facilities?

    Answer: Before each use and after each use

    SCBA must be inspected before and after each use to ensure integrity, full air supply, and operational readiness.

  5. What does the term 'competent person' mean under Ontario's OHSA?

    Answer: A person qualified by knowledge, training, and experience to perform work safely

    OHSA defines a competent person as someone qualified by knowledge, training, and experience who is familiar with applicable laws and hazards.

  6. In Ontario, what is the employer's obligation when a critical injury occurs at an industrial workplace?

    Answer: Notify the Ministry of Labour immediately and preserve the scene

    A critical injury requires immediate notification to the Ministry of Labour, the JHSC, and the union, and the scene must be preserved for investigation.

  7. Which GHS (Globally Harmonized System) pictogram indicates an acute toxic hazard on a WHMIS label?

    Answer: Skull and crossbones

    The skull and crossbones pictogram indicates acute toxicity — substances that can cause death or severe harm in a single or short-term exposure.
