   أظهر الإجابة

   الإجابة: A. It is the last line of defence

   In the hierarchy of controls, PPE comes last, after elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls.

2. السؤال 2 من 25

   Which control in the hierarchy is the most effective?

   • APersonal protective equipment
   • BJob rotation
   • CElimination
   • DWarning signs

   • AWhenever PPE costs less than fixing the hazard
   • BOnly during the first week a new machine runs

   CCOHS says PPE is the main control only when other controls are not practicable, as a temporary measure, during maintenance and clean-up, or in emergencies.

4. السؤال 4 من 25

   What does PPE do to the hazard itself?

   • AIt makes the hazard happen less often
   • BIt removes the hazard from the whole workplace

   • DIt moves the hazard to another area
   أظهر الإجابة

   الإجابة: C. Nothing; it only lowers the wearer's exposure

   CCOHS notes that PPE does not reduce the hazard itself. It only limits the wearer's exposure when worn correctly.

5. السؤال 5 من 25
