Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

A small drip is on the floor of an aisle and you have no mop nearby. What do you do first?

 

If you see a hazard, act: make it safe for others if you can do so safely, then report it so it gets fixed.

Lesson 1, Why this matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which of these is a trip hazard?

 

A cord on the floor is something a foot can hit. Wet and icy surfaces are slip hazards.

Lesson 2, Know the hazard, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

When you walk on an icy surface, what helps most?

 

A short, slow, flat-footed step keeps your weight over your feet.

Lesson 3, Control the hazard, teaches this. See the outline
