What this quiz covers
This quiz is about OSHA fall protection rules in real jobsite conditions: unprotected edges, holes, ladders, scaffolds, roofs, and the difference between fall prevention and fall arrest. It tests whether you can match the hazard to the right control.

On the job
A worker near a roof edge may be wearing a harness and still be unprotected if the anchorage is wrong, the system is not set up correctly, or guardrails should have been used instead. These are the kinds of decisions fall protection questions are really testing.

How to think about it
Start with three things: where the worker is exposed, how far the fall risk exists, and what protection is actually in place. A common mistake is jumping straight to PPE and ignoring covers, guardrails, access, and planning. Read the hazard first, then decide what OSHA would expect.
