Tips

How to use the information

  1. Start with the statutory items: they are marked Statutory in the test, with a source.
  2. For the employer, risk assessment (Occupational Safety and Health Act, section 10) is the foundation of all workplace safety – update it when the work or the premises change.
  3. Retake the test in a year and compare the scores.
