Answer everything, then click Check: your score and explanations will appear.

1.1 · Application

1. First action when facing an unknown workshop?

Walk with the operators: a one-hour visit, findings noted Stop production Nothing Read head-office stats

A visit reveals in one hour what stats hide in a month.

1.1 · Recall

2. An office with no machines: are there occupational risks?

Yes: screens/MSD, PSR (psychosocial risks — RPS in French), electrical, fire — different families, not absence Only the coffee No No, none

Every place ticks its families: offices fear screens and PSR.

1.1 · Recall

3. Which is NOT a risk family?

Manual handling Machines Weekend weather Falls

Six families cover the essentials: your private weather is not one.

1.2 · Arbitration

4. A 200-line unreadable DUERP untouched since 2019. Verdict?

Good enough Compliant Proof of neglect: prioritised, dated, updated — 20 living lines beat 200 dead ones Frame it

Rated (S×L), dated, reviewed at every change: the register drives or dies.

1.2 · Recall

5. Who rates the risks?

Software The customer The officer alone in the office As a group with operators and supervisors: alone, you underestimate

Collective rating gets it right: the exposed worker knows the job.

1.2 · Application

6. A new machine is installed. What is the DUERP reflex?

Update it: assess the new risk before start-up Wait for the accident Throw the old DUERP away Nothing, it is new

Every major change reopens the assessment: machine, product, organisation.

1.3 · Application

7. A dusty hazardous workstation. First response?

Train courage Nothing Hand out masks CPE (collective protective equipment) before PPE: collective protection needs no action

Hierarchy: collective first, PPE as the last resort — never the reverse.

1.3 · Arbitration

8. PPE provided but not worn (discomfort, mockery). Diagnosis?

Punish immediately Zero protection: involve users in the choice (trials, sizes) Provide more Give up

Buy-in makes protection: trying, adjusting and explaining beat forcing.

1.3 · Application

9. Saw guard removed "to go faster". Reflex?

Let it be, it is efficient Stop: neutralised CPE = immediate danger, DUERP line + action Provide gloves Note it for later

Defeating protection recreates the risk: stop + restore + remind.

1.4 · Application

10. 25 kg boxes lifted from the floor with twisting. Priority?

Gloves Nothing A "lift straight" poster Eliminate/reduce: lifting table, lighter parcels, waist-high racks

Mechanise before training: you cannot muscle your way out of bad organisation.

1.4 · Arbitration

11. Office MSD (neck, wrists): a valid DUERP action?

No, that is not a risk Yes: adjustments + active breaks, like any other risk Only if sick leave Never

Screen at eye level, hourly breaks: the office is assessed like the workshop.

1.5 · Arbitration

12. Fire extinguisher hidden behind boxes "temporarily". Verdict?

Nothing Tolerate it, it is temporary Violation + announced tragedy: kept-clear zones, quarterly review Move the extinguisher

Temporary lasts: floor markings + review + rules ban storage there.

What's next?
