CERTIFIED STUDY GUIDE 100% VERIFIED
Active Error - -answer--Mistake made by frontline staff at the point of care.
Adverse Drug Event (ADE) - -answer--Harm from a drug, preventable or not.
Anchoring Error - -answer--Sticking too closely to initial impressions or past cases.
Authority Gradient - -answer--Power imbalance that can silence lower-ranking team members.
29 CFR 1910.1030 - -answer--Bloodborne Pathogens
Protects workers from health hazards related to blood and other potentially infectious materials
(OPIM).
Requires an Exposure Control Plan with annual updates, universal precautions, safer needle
devices, employee training, PPE, free Hepatitis B vaccination, post-exposure evaluation, sharps
disposal protocols, and a sharps injury log.
29 CFR 1910.147 - -answer--Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Prevents accidental release of hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance.
Requires written energy control procedures, restricts lockout device use to authorized
employees, mandates training for authorized, affected, and other employees, requires annual
, 2
inspections, and applies to electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and other energy
sources.
29 CFR 1910.212 - -answer--Machine Guarding
Requires machines to have guards to protect employees from hazards like rotating parts, flying
chips, and sparks.
Guards must cover the point of operation, power transmission parts, and moving components,
be secure and durable without creating new hazards, and prevent injuries like amputations,
lacerations, and entanglement. Applies to equipment such as saws, presses, and conveyors.
29 CFR 1910.1000 - -answer--Air Contaminants (PELs/TLVs)
Establishes permissible exposure limits (PELs) for airborne contaminants to protect worker
health.
Lists limits for hundreds of chemicals (in ppm or mg/m³), requires employers to use engineering
and administrative controls before PPE, references ACGIH's Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), and
addresses acute and chronic risks from dust, vapors, gases, and fumes.
29 CFR 1910.38-39 - -answer--Emergency Action & Fire Prevention Plans
Requires employers to develop written Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and Fire Prevention Plans
to protect employees during emergencies.
EAPs must include evacuation procedures, reporting methods, and designated roles; Fire
Prevention Plans must address fire hazards, controls, and housekeeping. Plans must be
reviewed with employees at hire, reassignment, or updates, and be tailored to specific
workplace hazards.
, 3
General Duty Clause [Section 5(a)(1) of OSH Act] - -answer--Requires employers to provide a
workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious harm, even when no
specific OSHA standard applies.
Used to cite emerging risks like workplace violence, ergonomic injuries, or infectious diseases.
Requires proof the hazard is recognized, serious, and correctable; violations can lead to citations
and fines.
29 CFR 1904.7 - -answer--OSHA 300 Logs - Injury/Illness Recordkeeping
Requires employers to record and report work-related injuries and illnesses meeting specific
criteria.
Injuries must be logged within 7 days of notification, including days away, restricted duty, or
transfers. Fatalities must be reported within 8 hours; hospitalizations, amputations, or eye loss
within 24 hours. Logs must be maintained for 5 years and posted annually from February 1 to
April 30.
OSHA Safety and Health Program Guidelines - -answer--Proactive Safety Management
Provides a voluntary framework for employers to proactively identify, prevent, and control
workplace hazards.
Encourages management leadership, worker participation, systematic hazard identification and
control, training, program evaluation, continuous improvement, and building a safety culture
focused on prevention beyond compliance.
NFPA 99 - -answer--Healthcare Facilities Code
Sets performance-based safety standards for healthcare facilities to minimize risks tied to
electrical, gas, and vacuum systems.
, 4
Applies to critical systems like medical gas, electrical, HVAC, and communication; uses risk-
based categories; requires inspection, testing, and maintenance; and covers fire protection,
emergency power, and infection control infrastructure.
NFPA 101 - -answer--Life Safety Code
Establishes minimum standards for building design, construction, operation, and maintenance
to ensure safe egress and fire protection, especially in healthcare facilities.
Defines occupancy classifications and egress requirements, mandates smoke compartments,
fire barriers, exit signage, quarterly unannounced fire drills for all shifts, and addresses
emergency lighting, door latching, and evacuation procedures.
NFPA 10 - -answer--Portable Fire Extinguishers
Specifies requirements for selecting, installing, inspecting, and maintaining portable fire
extinguishers.
Defines extinguisher classes (A, B, C, D, K) and placement distances (e.g., Class A ≤ 75 ft),
requires monthly visual inspections and annual maintenance, mandates clear labeling with
symbols or pictograms, and sets criteria for accessibility, mounting, and user training.
NFPA 70 - -answer--National Electrical Code (NEC)
Provides standards for safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment to prevent hazards.
Adopted by OSHA for workplace electrical safety, it covers grounding, wiring methods, circuit
protection, and installation in healthcare environments, including patient care areas and wet
locations. Also addresses protection against shock, arc flash, and fire risks from electrical faults.
NFPA 45 - -answer--Fire Protection for Laboratories
Establishes fire safety requirements for labs that use, store, and handle chemicals.
