    • Wait for someone else to come across it

    • Fill out a hazard report form and give it to the health & safety manager

    • Wait for the hazard to happen

    • Dont do anything it will get fixed eventually

    Correct Answer
    A. Fill out a hazard report form and give it to the health & safety manager
    Explanation
    If you noticed a hazard at work that you believed needed reducing or eliminating, the appropriate action would be to fill out a hazard report form and give it to the health & safety manager. By doing so, you are effectively reporting the hazard to the responsible authority, allowing them to take appropriate action to address and mitigate the risk. Waiting for someone else to come across it or for the hazard to happen is not proactive and may lead to accidents or injuries. Similarly, not taking any action and assuming it will get fixed eventually is negligent and can put yourself and others at risk.

    • Quit your job

    • Refuse to do the task

    Correct Answer
    A. Refuse to do the task
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to refuse to do the task. This is because if you know that a task is unsafe, it is important to prioritize your safety and well-being. By refusing to do the task, you are taking a responsible approach and avoiding any potential harm or danger that may arise from performing the unsafe task. It is crucial to communicate your concerns to the appropriate authorities or supervisor and seek alternative solutions or measures to ensure a safe working environment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Get first aid treatment
    Explanation
    When injured on the job, the first priority should be to seek first aid treatment. This is crucial to ensure immediate care for the injury and prevent any further complications. Going home without receiving any medical attention may worsen the injury or delay necessary treatment. Filling out an accident report form is important but should be done after receiving first aid. Therefore, the correct immediate action to take is to get first aid treatment.

The first statement emphasizes the importance of playing your part in ensuring a safe work environment. The second statement highlights the need to dress appropriately and wear any protective equipment or clothing required for the job.

    • Evacuate the building

    • Carry on with what you were doing

    • Dial 111

    Correct Answer
    A. Evacuate the building
    Explanation
    In an event of emergency, the first thing you should do is evacuate the building. This is because your safety should be the top priority, and leaving the building immediately can help protect you from any potential dangers or hazards. Screaming for help may alert others to the emergency, but it is important to take action and remove yourself from the potentially dangerous situation. Dialing 111 can be done after evacuating the building to seek further assistance or report the emergency. Continuing with what you were doing can put you at risk and delay the necessary response to the emergency.

    A. In the Compliance managers Office
    Explanation
    The Health & Safety Manual is kept in the Compliance manager's Office. This is because the Compliance manager is responsible for ensuring that all health and safety regulations are followed in the workplace. Keeping the manual in their office allows easy access for the Compliance manager to refer to and update the manual as needed. Additionally, having the manual in the Compliance manager's office ensures that it is kept in a secure and controlled environment, reducing the risk of it being misplaced or accessed by unauthorized individuals.
