Easy
Which of the following is a physical hazard commonly found in production environments?
Chemical exposure
Poor documentation
Electrical shock
Inaccurate measurements
Electrical shock is a physical hazard resulting from contact with live electrical components. The other options are administrative or quality issues rather than physical hazards.
What is the main purpose of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) in manufacturing?
Improve product aesthetics
Document production processes
Protect workers from hazards
Increase production efficiency
PPE is used to protect workers from potential hazards in the production environment. It is not intended to improve aesthetics or document processes.
Which of these quality control tools is used to track the frequency of defects by category?
Check sheet
Control chart
Scatter diagram
Fishbone diagram
A check sheet is a structured worksheet for collecting and analyzing defect data by category. The other tools serve different quality analysis purposes.
In risk assessment, what does the term "likelihood" refer to?
Severity of consequences
Frequency of inspections
Cost of mitigation
Probability of a hazard occurring
Likelihood describes the probability that a hazard or incident will occur. Severity refers to the impact, not the probability.
Which standard is widely recognized for quality management systems in manufacturing?
Six Sigma
OHSAS 18001
ISO 9001
ISO 14001
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. OHSAS 18001 addresses occupational health and safety, and ISO 14001 covers environmental management.
Medium
A chemical spill occurs on the production floor. Which safety protocol should be applied first?
Resume normal operations
Begin disposal procedures
Document the incident
Evacuate the area and alert personnel
The immediate priority is to evacuate the area and alert personnel to prevent injuries. Cleanup and documentation follow once the area is secured.
What quality control method uses statistical techniques to monitor process performance over time?
Control chart
Cause-and-effect diagram
Gantt chart
Check sheet
Control charts are used to plot process data over time and identify trends or shifts. The other tools serve different quality purposes.
During a production audit, a nonconformity is found. What is the next step in quality management?
Create a new specification
Train all staff
Implement corrective action
Shut down all machines
After identifying a nonconformity, corrective action must be implemented to address the root cause. Training and new specs may follow but are not the immediate next step.
Which risk assessment technique involves identifying and evaluating potential failure modes?
SWOT analysis
HAZOP
FMEA
Gemba walk
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) systematically examines potential failures and their effects. HAZOP focuses on process deviations in chemical systems.
In the hierarchy of hazard controls, what control is prioritized immediately after elimination?
Engineering controls
Administrative controls
Personal protective equipment
Substitution
After eliminating a hazard, substitution (replacing it with something less hazardous) is the next preferred control. Engineering and administrative controls follow.
What does SPC stand for in quality management?
Standard Production Chart
Supplier Partner Collaboration
Statistical Process Control
Safety Performance Criteria
SPC stands for Statistical Process Control, which uses statistical methods to monitor and control processes. The other options are incorrect expansions.
A safety data sheet (SDS) provides information on what aspect?
Quality inspection criteria
Chemical hazards and handling
Production scheduling
Machine operational efficiency
An SDS contains detailed information on chemical properties, hazards, and safe handling procedures. It does not cover machine efficiency or scheduling.
Which analysis tool helps determine root causes by categorizing potential causes into major categories like People, Methods, and Machines?
Pareto chart
Control chart
Fishbone diagram
Value stream map
The Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram organizes possible causes into categories such as People, Methods, and Machines to aid root cause analysis.
When integrating safety and quality, it is best practice to do what?
Separate departments completely
Ignore near-miss reports
Involve cross-functional teams
Focus only on end-of-line inspection
Involving cross-functional teams ensures both safety and quality considerations are aligned throughout production. Ignoring near-misses or isolating departments undermines integration.
What is the primary benefit of conducting a fault tree analysis in production safety?
Calculate production throughput
Visualize logical relationships of failures
Measure defect rates
Schedule maintenance tasks
Fault tree analysis provides a graphical representation of how failures can interrelate, helping to identify root causes. It is not a throughput or scheduling tool.
Hard
In a HAZOP study for a chemical reactor, what is the purpose of applying guide words like "No", "More", or "Less"?
To set production targets
To schedule maintenance activities
To systematically identify deviations from design intent
To assign responsibility for tasks
HAZOP guide words help systematically explore how deviations (e.g., no flow, more pressure) from design intent can create hazards. They are not used for scheduling or assignments.
How does Design of Experiments (DOE) contribute to quality improvement in manufacturing?
By documenting standard operating procedures
By systematically varying factors to determine effects on output
By increasing inventory levels
By monitoring employee performance
DOE uses controlled experiments to identify which factors most significantly affect process outputs, enabling optimization. It is not a documentation or HR tool.
Which statistical distribution is often used to model the number of defects per unit in quality control?
Exponential distribution
Poisson distribution
Normal distribution
Binomial distribution
The Poisson distribution models the probability of a given number of defects in a fixed unit or interval. The other distributions serve different modeling purposes.
In Lean safety integration, what is the concept of "5S" primarily used for?
Selecting suppliers
Analyzing financial performance
Designing supply chain networks
Organizing the workplace to reduce hazards and waste
5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) organizes and maintains a clean, efficient workspace, reducing hazards and waste. It is not a financial or supplier selection tool.
In compliance auditing against ISO 9001, which evidence best confirms the effectiveness of a corrective action?
Employee attendance logs
Trend analysis records showing reduction in defects
The corrective action plan document alone
Minutes of unrelated meetings
Trend analysis showing a reduction in defects demonstrates that corrective actions have been effective. The plan document alone or unrelated records do not prove actual improvement.
