1. A chemical plant is replacing a solvent that causes respiratory issues with a less toxic alternative. Which tier of the hierarchy of controls does this action represent? (Select one!)

AElimination

BEngineering control

CAdministrative control

DSubstitution

Explanation

ISO 45001 Clause 8.1.2 establishes a hierarchy of controls to eliminate hazards and reduce risks. Substitution involves replacing a hazardous substance, process, or equipment with a less hazardous alternative. Elimination would involve physically removing the hazard entirely, such as stopping the use of the solvent altogether. Engineering controls isolate people from the hazard, while administrative controls change work practices. Since the solvent is being replaced rather than removed or isolated, this is substitution.

2. When determining OH&S objectives, which input is explicitly required by Clause 6.2.1 alongside legal requirements and risk assessment results? (Select one!)

AResults of consultation with workers

BTop management's personal preferences

CFinancial budget constraints only

DCompetitor safety statistics

Explanation

Clause 6.2.1 states that when setting objectives, the organization must take into account applicable legal and other requirements, results of risk assessment, and results of consultation with workers. This ensures objectives are grounded in actual workplace conditions and worker input, rather than just financial or external factors.

3. The safety committee proposes an objective: 'Improve safety culture.' Why is this non-compliant with Clause 6.2.1? (Select one!)

AObjectives must be consistent with the OH&S policy

BObjectives must be measurable if practicable

CObjectives must be approved by the CEO

DObjectives must be updated annually

Explanation

Clause 6.2.1 requires OH&S objectives to be measurable, if practicable. 'Improve safety culture' is vague and lacks a baseline or target, making it impossible to monitor or evaluate. While consistency with policy and updates are also required, the primary failure here is the lack of measurability, which prevents effective planning and evaluation.

4. You are implementing a new safety protocol for handling heavy loads. Which control tier should be evaluated first? (Select one!)

AProviding back belts to all workers.

BRotating workers between tasks to limit exposure time.

CEliminating the need for manual lifting entirely.

DInstalling mechanical lifting aids.

Explanation

The hierarchy of controls in ISO 45001 Clause 8.1.2 prioritizes elimination as the most effective control. Eliminating the hazard, such as automating the lifting process, removes the risk entirely. Mechanical lifting aids are engineering controls, which are less effective than elimination. Rotating workers is an administrative control, and back belts are PPE, which are the least effective measures. The organization must evaluate elimination first before considering lower tiers.

5. Which statement accurately describes the relationship between Clause 6 (Planning) and Clause 8 (Operation)? (Select one!)

AClause 6 and 8 are independent and unrelated

BClause 6 plans actions; Clause 8 implements controls

CClause 8 plans the objectives; Clause 6 sets the policy

DClause 8 identifies risks; Clause 6 audits the controls

Explanation

Clause 6 is the planning phase where risks, opportunities, and objectives are determined, and actions are planned. Clause 8 is the operational phase where the planned controls and processes are implemented and executed. This follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, ensuring that planning directly informs operational execution.
