What is the primary goal of hazard identification in product safety?
To detect potential sources of harm associated with a product
To measure the cost impact of a safety process
To eliminate all risks regardless of feasibility
To standardize the formatting of safety data sheets
Hazard identification focuses on finding sources of potential harm in a product before controls are applied. It does not directly measure costs or mandate total risk elimination.
In a risk assessment matrix, which two factors are assessed?
Performance and reliability
Cost and schedule impact
Severity and likelihood of occurrence
Complexity and warranty period
A risk assessment matrix evaluates the severity of harm and the likelihood that the harm will occur. It does not typically consider cost, schedule, or warranty duration.
What is the main purpose of a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)?
To outline production and delivery schedules
To provide marketing information about a chemical
To communicate chemical hazards and safe handling procedures
To list company liability and legal disclaimers
An MSDS is designed to inform users of chemical hazards, protective measures, and safe handling. It is not intended for marketing or scheduling purposes.
According to best practices, a product label must include which element?
Competitor comparison chart
Retail price
Internal production cost
Manufacturer contact information
Including the manufacturer's contact details ensures traceability and user support. Pricing or competitor data are not safety labeling requirements.
How is a non-conformance issue defined in product safety?
An item operating within normal specifications
A deviation from specified safety requirements
A customer complaint unrelated to safety
A product covered under warranty
Non-conformance refers to any instance where a product does not meet defined safety or regulatory requirements. Warranty status or general complaints do not define non-conformance.
In risk assessment, a risk rated as "High" typically indicates which of the following?
High severity and high likelihood of occurrence
Risk requires no immediate action
High severity but very low likelihood
Low severity but high likelihood
A "High" risk rating generally means that the potential harm is severe and the chance of it happening is high, triggering prompt mitigation. Lower likelihood or severity would yield a different rating.
Which document is essential for tracking changes in safety procedures over time?
Financial audit report
User manual index
Revision history log
Marketing brochure
A revision history log documents versions and amendments to safety procedures, ensuring traceability. Marketing materials and financial reports do not track procedural changes.
The CE mark on a product indicates compliance with which regulations?
United States FDA regulations
Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)
European Union safety and health requirements
ISO 9001 quality management standard
The CE mark shows that a product meets EU directives for health, safety, and environmental protection. It is not related to US FDA, ISO quality, or Japanese standards.
Which section is mandatory in an MSDS?
Hazard identification
Marketing description
Warranty terms
Product pricing
Hazard identification is a required MSDS section to describe risks and hazard classifications. Marketing, pricing, or warranty details are outside its scope.
What is the first step in a product recall procedure?
File a lawsuit against the supplier
Notify customers before confirming cause
Identify and isolate the affected batch
Destroy all existing inventory
The initial recall step is to determine which batch is impacted and isolate it to prevent further distribution. Destroying inventory or legal action come later or are unconnected to immediate safety control.
Which of the following is an example of a corrective action?
Filing inspection paperwork without process change
Performing routine equipment lubrication
Updating the production process to address a defect
Scheduling training without altering procedures
A corrective action targets the root cause and changes a process to prevent recurrence. Routine maintenance or paperwork filing do not resolve underlying issues.
Which ISO standard focuses on environmental management, indirectly affecting product safety?
ISO 27001
ISO 14001
ISO 22000
ISO 9001
ISO 14001 sets requirements for environmental management systems, which can influence material selection and disposal. ISO 9001 is for quality management, ISO 27001 for information security, and ISO 22000 for food safety.
What distinguishes residual risk from inherent risk?
Residual risk remains after control measures are applied
Residual risk refers to unknown hazards
Residual risk exists before any controls
Residual risk cannot be measured
Inherent risk is the level of risk without any interventions, while residual risk is what remains after controls are implemented. It is measurable and known post-assessment.
Under US regulations, how soon must a serious injury be reported after discovery?
Within 60 days
Within 24 hours
Within 30 days
Within 7 days
Regulations often require reporting serious injuries within 24 hours to regulatory bodies to ensure rapid response. Longer timeframes risk delayed corrective measures.
Which labeling practice is non-compliant with best practices?
Displaying a clear expiration date
Including the product batch number
Using an unclear or incorrect hazard pictogram
Stating recommended storage conditions
Incorrect or ambiguous pictograms can mislead users and violate labeling standards. Batch numbers, expiration dates, and storage instructions are all recommended.
In the hierarchy of risk controls, which control is most effective?
Administrative controls
Elimination
Personal protective equipment
Substitution
Elimination removes the hazard entirely and is the highest level of control. Substitution, administrative controls, and PPE are lower-tier measures.
Under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), which requirement is new compared to the previous directive?
CE marking on devices
Clinical evaluation report
Manufacturer registration fee
A detailed post-market surveillance plan
MDR introduces formalized post-market surveillance and reporting obligations, which were less prescriptive under the older directive. CE marking and clinical evaluation existed previously.
A chemical MSDS lacks proper instructions for firefighting measures. Which documentation practice is violated?
Legibility requirement
Formatting requirement
Periodic review requirement
Completeness requirement
Completeness requires all relevant hazard and response information be included. Missing firefighting instructions directly breaches this principle.
Which tool is most appropriate for identifying the root cause of a safety incident?
PESTEL analysis
5 Whys analysis
SWOT analysis
Monte Carlo simulation
The 5 Whys technique drills down through successive questioning to uncover the fundamental cause. SWOT and PESTEL assess strategic factors, and Monte Carlo is a probabilistic simulation.
Which key difference distinguishes compliance requirements of US CPSIA and EU REACH?
Both regulations have identical scopes but different enforcement agencies
CPSIA limits specific chemicals in children's products while REACH requires registration and risk evaluation of industrial chemicals
CPSIA covers industrial chemical registration and REACH focuses on toy lead limits
CPSIA has broader chemical coverage than REACH
CPSIA targets certain hazardous substances in children's products with strict limits, whereas REACH mandates registration, evaluation, and restriction of a wide range of industrial chemicals. Their scopes and processes differ significantly.
