Cheat Sheet

  1. Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) -

    Follow OSHA's five-step HIRA process to systematically spot hazards, then apply the formula Risk = Likelihood × Severity (NIOSH) to prioritize which risks to tackle first. Using a 1 - 5 scale risk matrix example helps visualize where controls will make the biggest impact.

  2. Hierarchy of Controls -

    Remember the five levels from OSHA: Elimination, Substitution, Engineering controls, Administrative controls and PPE; use the mnemonic "Every Silly Engineer Ate Popcorn" to lock it in. Applying controls from the top down ensures you address the root problem, not just its symptoms.

  3. Fire Safety & Extinguisher Classes -

    Learn ANSI Z535 classifications (A, B, C, D, K) and practice the PASS technique: Pull the pin, Aim low, Squeeze the lever, Sweep side-to-side. A quick drill using an empty extinguisher can cement this lifesaving sequence.

  4. Office Ergonomics & 20-20-20 Rule -

    ANSI/HFES 100-2007 recommends setting your monitor at arm's length with elbows at 90° and feet flat on the floor to reduce musculoskeletal strain. For visual comfort, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to prevent eye fatigue.

  5. Emergency First Aid Response (DRABC) -

    Use the DRABC acronym - Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation - to guide a quick first-aid check following WHO and Red Cross guidelines. Role-play a scenario where you assess a "casualty" in your workplace safety quiz to reinforce this structured approach.
