OSHA 30 Hour Construction Program Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT included in PSM training requirements?

1. Toxicity

2. Personal protective equipment usage

3. Reactivity data

4. Corrosive data

The correct answer is: Personal protective equipment usage

The correct answer identifies personal protective equipment (PPE) usage as not being included in the Process Safety Management (PSM) training requirements. PSM is primarily focused on the management of hazards related to processes that involve highly hazardous chemicals. The training under PSM includes elements essential for understanding chemical toxicity, reactivity, and corrosive properties, as these factors directly contribute to the safe operation and management of processes involving hazardous substances. While PPE is crucial for ensuring safety on a construction site, it is generally covered under other safety and health training programs rather than being a specific requirement of PSM training. PSM training is more concentrated on the chemical properties and the risks associated with processes that involve hazardous materials to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to minimize the risk of workplace accidents.
