LTCW Fall Protection Quiz

Personal Fall Arrest System is...*

the first solution to protecting a worker against falls.used to make any roof safe.the last solution of protection when the fall hazard can't be avoided.best used as a suspended scaffold system.

Glass and solar panel roofs...*

should never be walked on.are easy to walk on with suction cups.are only safe when they are on a low slope.are only safe with the glass is tempered.

Total fall clearance...*

is used to figure our the severity of someone injured from a fall.doesn't really matter because it is a technicality.is used to calculate if the PFAS will protect the worker in a fall.is useful for restraint systems on a low slope roof.

A roof pitch tends to go from safe to dangerous when the pitch changes from*

18/12 to 1/1217/12 to 17/187/12 to 8/122/12 to 17/12

A low slope roof...*

is never safe.is always safe.can still be dangerous based on other factors.has a slope of 17/12 or above.

The peak of the roof...*

is the highest point on the roof and should not be walked on.is the highest point on the roof and should be walked on.is the lowest point on a roof and should not be walked.runs parallel to the pitch and hip

If a roof seems unsafe for any reason or you're unsure, you should...*

proceed cautiously.use a spotter to make sure the fall hazards aren't dangerous.stop the job immediately and find a safer way.use specialized roof shoes so you won't slip.

Metal roofs are safest when...*

they have fiberglass skylights to walk on.they're dry, clean, and have a safe pitch.there are no valleys on it and it's only double pitched.the pitch is 16/12 or below.

Asphalt shingle roofs are...*

very breakable and should not be walked on.safe at any pitch.usually safe if the pitch is safe and there is no moss or other slippery debris.always safe when the roof is low pitch.

The main difference between clay tile and concrete tile is...*

clay is rough, less breakable, and concrete is rough, more breakable.clay is rough, breakable, and concrete is smooth, unbreakable.clay is smooth, breakable, and concrete is rough, more breakable.clay is smooth, breakable and concrete is rough, less breakable.

Slate roofs are...*

common and strong types of stone.breakable but easy and cheap to fix.very breakable and should be avoided at all costs.solid rock and impossible to break but dangerous when wet.

Fall Restraint...*

is better than fall arrest.is used to catch a worker during a fall.is worse than fall arrest.is the same thing as fall arrest.

A Kilownewton (Kn) is used...*

to measure forces put against safety equipment.is used to catch a worker during a fall.on all fall protection restraint systems.as a crane to lift fallen workers.

The ABC's of a PFAS are...*

arches, breakers, and containment.arrest, body, and chest strap.agility, bindings, and cracker stops.anchors, body harness, and components.

Your anchor should have the ability to support...*

10,000 lbs5,000 lbs10,000 Kn5,000 Kn

Anchor straps are used to...*

hold down your anchor.support the rope grab.expand the Kn rating.create an anchor from a solid structure.

Rope grabs...*

are optional on a PFAS, but nice to have.must be installed in the correct direction and on the correct sized rope.are only necessary with a fixed lanyard.are ambidextrous and can be used either way.

The impact indicators on a body harness inform the inspector...*

the last inspection of the harness.who the last user of the harness was.the amount of impact force the harness can handle.if the harness was involved a fall or a significant amount of force.

The industry used fall protection knot is...*

a figure 6 on a loop.a figure 8 on a bight.a tie bow shoe knot.an 8 shaped bight.

A fixed lanyard means...*

the lanyard needs to be fixed and shouldn't be used.it should only be used to fix a worker in fall arrest.the lanyard doesn't expand or absorb a fall in any way.it should be used when other lanyards are being fixed.

Body harnesses are...*

the same as a body belt.only used in a fall restraint system.important and should fit loose to the user.important and should fit snug to the user.

Pendulum swing falls...*

are dangerous, and happen when there's too much slack out.happen when a worker puts the rope grab backwards.are the safest way to fall to avoid maximum impact.are dangerous, and happen when a worker isn't working in front of the anchor.

A total fall clearance is approved safe if...*

the fall clearance is less than the fall hazard.the fall clearance equals the fall hazard.the fall clearance is more than the fall hazard.the fall clearance is less than the access rope.

The safety factor is...*

an extra distanced added the lanyard expansion length.an extra distance added to the total fall clearance to ensure safety from impact.the distance between the anchor and the ground.the distance between the worker and the ground.

Deceleration distance is...*

the distance the lanyard expands in a fall.the distance from the anchor to the ground.the distance your grab will slide until grabbing.the amount of time it takes you to slow down.
