Employers are required to record and report work-related injuries and illnesses using the OSHA Form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (C), and related forms (OSHA Form 300A and 301). SDS (Safety Data Sheets) provide information about hazardous chemicals (A). DOT Form 75 relates to hazardous materials transportation (B). IRS Form 1040A is for individual income tax (D). (OSHA 29 CFR Part 1904, Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses; Fundamentals of Crew Leadership, Fourth Edition, NCCER, Section 3.2.4 OSHA Recordkeeping and Reporting)
Question # 5
What is one good way to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace?
One of the most effective ways to prevent sexual harassment is to establish a no-tolerance policy (A) that clearly defines prohibited conduct, outlines reporting procedures, and ensures prompt and thorough investigation of complaints. Promoting the victim (B) or increasing their compensation (C) does not address the harassment itself. While improved employee screening (D) might help, a clear policy and consistent enforcement are crucial. (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines; Fundamentals of Crew Leadership, Fourth Edition, NCCER, Section 2.3.2 Preventing Harassment)
Question # 6
What is a potentially important use of the daily diary that is NOT related to the crew leader's efficient management of work?
A.
documenting work completed
B.
recording an OSHA inspection visit
C.
scheduling a new-worker orientation session
D.
a source of information during litigation with the client Â
While the daily diary is crucial for documenting work progress (A), recording important events like OSHA inspections (B), and potentially noting training activities, a potentially important use not directly related to efficient daily management is that it can serve as a source of information during litigation with the client (D) by providing a detailed record of site conditions, work performed, and any relevant incidents. Scheduling a new-worker orientation (C) is more of a planning task than a daily record. (Fundamentals of Crew Leadership, Fourth Edition, NCCER, Section 2.2.3 Maintaining a Daily Log)

Employers can minimize workplace discrimination by establishing and adhering to valid, job-related requirements (C) for hiring and promotion. Hiring only men (A) is discriminatory.

Hiring anyone who applies (D) without considering qualifications can lead to inefficiency and potential discrimination issues.
