Question: Which engineering control is
primarily used to prevent fires caused by
electrical faults?
•
A) Fire extinguishers
•
B) Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)
•
C) Personal protective equipment (PPE)
•
D) Overcurrent protection devices
www.hsestudyguide.com
Answer:
B) Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)
Explanation:
GFCIs help prevent electrical fires by quickly shutting off power when an electrical fault
is detected, reducing the risk of fire or electric shock.

•
C) To raise awareness about safety issues
•
D) To schedule safety inspections
www.hsestudyguide.com
Answer:
C) To raise awareness about safety issues
Explanation:
Safety moments are used to highlight specific safety concerns, share incidents or near-
misses, and raise awareness among team members.

Question: What is the primary purpose of a
Hazardous Area Classification in engineering
safety?
•
A) To categorize dangerous materials in a workplace
•
B) To allocate safety budgets for high-risk areas
•
C) To identify and define hazardous zones in industrial environments
•
D) To restrict access to engineering laboratories
www.hsestudyguide.com
Answer:
C) To identify and define hazardous zones in industrial environments
Explanation:
Hazardous Area Classification defines and identifies specific zones where potentially
explosive atmospheres may occur, aiding in the implementation of appropriate safety measures in
these areas.

Question: What engineering control is
specifically designed to prevent equipment
from operating beyond safe limits?
•
A) Limit switches
•
B) Emergency stop buttons
•
C) Machine guards
•
D) Warning signs
www.hsestudyguide.com
Answer:
A) Limit switches
Explanation:
Limit switches are engineered to prevent machinery or equipment from operating
beyond predetermined safe limits, helping to safeguard against potential hazards due to excessive
operation.
