Test 01
Q:1-If someone is wearing a harness while working at height,
what else must be done?
Mark one answer:
Provide an extra harness in case theirs breaks
Nothing else, wearing a harness is good enough
Have a rescue plan in place to retrieve them quickly if they fall
Have a second person warn them if they get too close to the edge

Q:2-What is the main danger of leaving someone who has fallen

suspended in a harness for too long?
Mark one answer:
The anchorage point may fail
They may try to climb back up the structure and fall again

Q:3-When is it most appropriate to use a safety harness and

lanyard for working at height?
Mark one answer:
Only when the roof has a steep pitch

use the lanyard if the damaged stitching is less than two inches
long
get a replacement lanyard
 do not use the damaged lanyard and work without one

advice and training
Ask someone wearing a similar harness to show you what to do
Try to work it out for yourself
Read the instruction book and follow any advice that it contains.

Q:6-A design feature of some airbags used for fall arrest is a

controlled leak rate. If you are using these, the inflation pump
must:

Q:7-Why is it dangerous to use inflatable airbags for fall arrest

that are too big for the area to be protected?
Mark one answer:
They will exert a sideways pressure on anything that is containing
them
The pressure in the bags will cause them to burst
The inflation pump will become overloaded
They will not fully inflate

Q9 =4, Q10 =3

Test 02
Q:1-The Beaufort Scale is important when planning any external
work at height because it measures:
Mark one answer:

wind speed
the load-bearing capacity of a scaffold

Q:2-What is the most effective method to prevent workers falling

from height while carrying out construction and maintenance
work?

Leave the decisions on how to work at height to the principal
contractor
Ensure details of risky operations are included in the construction
phase health and safety plan
Educate the workforce to be more careful while working at height
Ensure that design and construction solutions eliminate the need
for working at height.

Q:3-What is the main reason for using a safety net or other soft-
landing system rather than a personal fall-arrest system?
Mark one answer:
 Soft-landing systems are cheaper to use and do not need
inspecting
It is always easy to rescue workers who fall into a soft-landing
system
Specialist knowledge is not required to install soft-landing systems
Soft-landing systems are 'collective fall arrest measures.

Q:4-Edge protection must be designed to:

Mark one answer:
allow persons to work both sides
secure tools and materials close to the edge
warn people where the edge of the roof is
prevent people and materials falling

Q:5-In law you are working at height when you could fall from:

Access tower scaffold

Q:7-What is the best way to make sure that a ladder is secure and
won't slip?
Mark one answer:
Ensure that it is tied at the top
Ask someone to stand with their foot on the bottom rungt
Tie it at the bottom
Ask for the bottom of the ladder to be wedged with blocks of
wood

Q:8-To ensure the safety of people who have to gain access to a

place of work at height, ladders are:
Mark one answer:
always acceptable for work below 2 m
alright to use if it gets the job done more quickly
generally the least favoured option in the hierarchy of risk
now banned on all sites

Q:9-How far should a ladder extend above the stepping-off point

if there is no alternative, firm handhold?
Mark one answer:
Two rungs
Three rungs
Five rungs or one metre
Half a metre

Q:10-A Class 3 ladder is:
