1. write t or f to show whether the statement is true (t) or false (f).

______ 1. a hazard assessment has been accomplished if the hazard is identified clearly.
______ 2. a hazard assessment should not be considered complete until a possible control is found for the hazard.
______ 3. to determine a hazard’s risk factor, a person must determine the type of possible injury or loss and how likely it is occur.
______ 4. a hazard’s risk factor should never be used to establish priorities for hazard reduction or elimination.
______ 5. basically only 2 types of controls are used to reduce or eliminate hazards.

Accepted Answer

### 1.
# Brief Explanations:
Hazard assessment involves more than just identification (e.g., evaluating risk, finding controls). So identifying the hazard alone doesn't complete the assessment.
# Answer: F

### 2.
# Brief Explanations:
A complete hazard assessment requires identifying the hazard, evaluating risk, and determining a control. So until a control is found, it's not complete.
# Answer: T

### 3.
# Brief Explanations:
Risk factor for a hazard is determined by the severity (type of injury/loss) and likelihood of occurrence. So this statement is correct.
# Answer: T

### 4.
# Brief Explanations:
Risk factors are used to prioritize which hazards to address first (higher risk = higher priority). So saying it should never be used is false.
# Answer: F

### 5.
# Brief Explanations:
There are more than 2 types of hazard controls (e.g., engineering, administrative, personal protective equipment). So this is false.
# Answer: F

### 6.
# Brief Explanations:
Personal protective equipment is a valid hazard control method, often used as a last resort when other controls aren't feasible. So this is true.
# Answer: T

### 7.
# Brief Explanations:
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is caused by repetitive motions, not extremely heavy lifting (which is more related to acute injuries or musculoskeletal issues from heavy loads). So this is false.
# Answer: F

### 8.
# Brief Explanations:
Engineering controls (e.g., machine guards, ventilation) are more effective at reducing/eliminating hazards than basic point - of - contact controls (e.g., gloves for a single machine part), as they address the hazard at the source. So this is true.
# Answer: T

### 9.
# Brief Explanations:
Psychological hazards (e.g., stress, harassment) are better addressed by administrative controls (policies, training) or psychological interventions, not engineering controls (which are for physical hazards). So this is false.
# Answer: F

### 10.
# Brief Explanations:
For biological/chemical hazards, engineering controls (e.g., fume hoods, ventilation) or administrative controls (e.g., safe work practices) should be the first line of control. Personal protective equipment is a last resort. So this is false.
