10.Looking at the picture below would it be a violation of qualified MAD to crawl out to paint the end of the lower arm? (qualified painter – phase to ground). Circle Yes or No

Yes or No

A.Avoid Contact

B.3’9”

C.3”

D.None of the above

12. Circle the five subjects that OSHA requires be discussed at a Job Briefing:

A.Work Procedures

B.Work Area Hazards

C.Personal Protective Equipment

D.Vehicle Color

E.Energy Source Control

F.Special Precautions

13.What is considered minimum PPE required at any tower painting job site? Circle one of the below:

A.Hard Hart, Water, T-shirt

B.Hard Hat, Safety Glasses, Fall Protection, Proper Footwear

C.Safety Glasses, Truck, Trailer

14.Looking at the picture below would it be a violation of qualified MAD to crawl out to paint the end of the middle arm? (qualified painter – phase to ground 115kV) Yes or No

15.What is Step Potential? Circle the correct definition:

A.Step Potential is the voltage value between the span of one step. Each foot is referenced to a different potential or voltage. This deadly difference of voltage is called a Step Potential Hazard.

B.Step Potential is the physical distance between a worker’s feet when they are climbing a steel transmission tower.

16.What is Touch potential? Circle the correct definition:

A.Touch Potential is the distance between a worker on a structure and the ground.

B.Touch Potential is the unequal voltage value between an energized object and you.

17.A person trained annually in structure rescue and qualified to be an observer must be at every structure with working painters on it. True False

18.Fall protection is only required when climbing up the structure, but not during the climb down. True False

19.Red flags are installed on the live line side of a double circuit structure or on similar lines next to the one being painted to prevent workers inadvertently going towards live lines. True False

20.An Electric arc can reach temperatures four times as high as that of the sun’s surface.

True False

21.A current flow as low as 75 ma through a person’s heart will cause heart fibrillation. True False

22.OSHA requires that live parts to which an employee may be exposed shall be de-energized before the employee works on or near them. (Near = within the MAD) unless de-energizing introduces additional or increased hazards, or it is infeasible. True False

23.OSHA only requires one person on the jobsite to be trained in CPR & First aid

True False

24.Using the Voltage Insulator Length handout label the maximum voltage for each size insulator and the qualified MAD using the choices below:

A) 69kV B) 115kV C) 13.2kV D) 345kV E) 230kV

A structure with 7 Inches of insulated glass could be a voltage up to and the qualified MAD would be .

A structure with 6 feet of insulated glass could be a voltage up to and the qualified MAD would be A structure with 4 feet of insulated glass could be a voltage up to and the qualified MAD would be A structure with 9 feet of insulated glass could be a voltage up to and the qualified MAD would be A structure with 3 feet of insulated glass could be a voltage up to and the qualified MAD would be 25.Circuits and equipment must be tested by qualified electrical workers using appropriate test equipment to verify that the circuits and equipment is de-energized.

True False
