OSHA stands for Occupational Safety And Health Administration. This organization is responsible for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees in the United States. They establish and enforce standards and regulations to protect workers from hazards and promote workplace safety.

Red color locks are used to isolate electrical energy sources. This is because red is a universally recognized color for danger and caution. By using red locks, it helps to visually signal and remind individuals that the equipment or energy source is locked and should not be accessed or tampered with. This helps to prevent accidents and injuries by ensuring that only authorized personnel can work on or near the electrical energy sources.

FCA stands for Factory Contractor Administrator in Contractor Safety Management. This role is responsible for overseeing and managing contractors working in a factory setting to ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards. They are responsible for assessing contractor qualifications, providing safety training, conducting inspections, and ensuring that contractors follow safety protocols to minimize risks and accidents in the workplace.

The correct answer is Any Score above 85. This means that in order for a contracting company to contract with TML for a High Risk Activity, they need to have a Pre-Qualification (PQ) score that is higher than 85.

The correct sequence for the lockout procedure is as follows:
1. Notify affected employees that the machine or equipment will be shut down and locked out.
2. Shut down the machinery or equipment and isolate energy sources with energy-isolating devices.
3. Lock out energy-isolating devices with assigned locks.
4. Release or restrain stored or residual energy.
5. Test the machinery to make sure it can't start up.

Foam is the most effective medium for extinguishing flammable liquid fires in a contained area. Foam works by forming a thick blanket on the surface of the liquid, preventing oxygen from reaching the fire and suppressing the release of flammable vapors. This helps to smother the fire and prevent it from spreading. Foam is also able to cool the fire, reducing its temperature and further inhibiting its ability to reignite. Additionally, foam is versatile and can be used on various types of flammable liquids, making it a reliable choice for fire suppression.

Hooks & Shackles are required to be tested and certified by a competent person on an annual basis. Additionally, they should be tagged and marked with SWL (Safe Working Load), inspection date, and the next due date. This ensures that the equipment is regularly checked for safety and compliance with standards.

The correct answer is "below 75%". This means that the loading of all tackles should be less than 75% of the Safe Working Load (SWL). This is important to ensure that the tackles are not overloaded and can safely handle the weight they are designed for. Keeping the loading below 75% allows for a margin of safety and helps to prevent any potential failure or damage to the tackles.

The correct sequence of the TML six-step contractor safety management process is Contractor Selection, Contract preparation, Contract award, Orientation and training, Managing the Work, and Periodic evaluation. This sequence ensures that the contractor is selected based on their qualifications and safety record, followed by the necessary contract preparations and award. Orientation and training are then provided to ensure that the contractor is aware of the safety protocols and requirements. The work is managed throughout the project, and periodic evaluations are conducted to assess the contractor's performance and compliance with safety standards.

The ladder should be extended above the stepping point by 1 meter. This ensures that there is enough length to provide stability and support while climbing or reaching higher areas. Extending the ladder by 1 meter allows for a safe and secure position for the user, reducing the risk of accidents or falls.

The issuer is responsible for arranging or calling the authorized isolator if it is required for the job. The issuer has the authority to issue permits and is responsible for ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken before starting a job.
