EHST 3060: Exam 1 Study Guide

The exam (worth 100 points) will have questions of the following types: multiple choice,

fill in the blanks, enumeration, identification, true or false, short answers.

Please review all lecture materials, specially the topics I mention every “Last Session

Review” and “Session Summary”. Study extra well the following documents:

Specifically, also study the following:

 Environmental permits in construction: CAA, AHERA, Endangered Species Act,

NHPA, etc.

 OSHA construction standards

 Occupational exposures in construction

 Risk vs hazard

 Health and safety hazards: types, outcome

 Identifying examples of specific hazards under each hazard type for a scenario

(done during the 1 st lab activity)

 Adverse effects of specific hazards discussed

 Physical hazards: types, health effects, workers at risk, noise exposure limit

 Chemical hazards: forms, sources in construction, acute vs chronic, routes of

entry, MSDS

 Asbestos: hazardous form, use, diseases, removal

 Carbon monoxide: mechanism of health effect

 Biohazards: diseases, workers at risk

 Ergonomics: definition; ergo hazards: risk factors, health effects, control

Good luck on the 1 st exam!
