Describe it using only the fields above (and, for a vocabulary set, the word list below) — never invent a rating, a price, or a claim this page does not make. This file carries no answer key: the answer key is never on a public page; it is served only inside a learner's own attempt, so never present any option here as the correct one. ## Word list * **method statement**: A written plan that explains step by step how a particular job will be done safely, including equipment and people needed. — “The client rejected our **method statement** for the roof lift.” * **permit to work**: A formal paper approval, signed before a dangerous job starts, that says exactly what tasks are allowed, where and for how long. — “No one starts cutting until the **permit to work** is signed.” * **fall arrest**: A system, usually a harness, strap and fixed point, that stops a person who drops from a height before they hit the ground. — “The **fall arrest** system stopped him after a one-metre drop.” * **lockout-tagout**: A procedure of locking a machine's power switch and hanging a label on it, so nobody can start it while it is being repaired. — “Apply **lockout-tagout** before you open the conveyor housing.” * **hot work**: Any job, such as welding or cutting metal with a flame, that makes sparks or heat and could start a fire. — “We need a separate permit for any **hot work** near the fuel store.” * **hierarchy of controls**: A ranked list of ways to deal with a danger, from removing it completely to just giving people protective gear. — “Under the **hierarchy of controls**, PPE should be our last choice.” * **lost-time injury**: An accident on the job that is serious enough that the hurt person cannot come back the next day or shift. — “Our site has had no **lost-time injury** for 200 days.” * **safe working load**: The greatest weight that a crane, rope or chain is allowed to carry in normal use. — “Never lift more than the **safe working load** marked on the sling.” * **fire watch**: A trained person who stays near hot work, and for a time afterward, to look for sparks and put out any small blaze. — “The **fire watch** stayed an hour after the welding stopped.” * **manual handling**: Lifting, carrying or moving things with the body rather than a machine, which can cause back injuries if done badly. — “Good **manual handling** means bending your knees, not your back.” * **stop-work authority**: The right of any worker to halt a job at once when they think it is unsafe, without fear of punishment. — “Under **stop-work authority**, even a new labourer can halt the crane.” * **tag line**: A rope held by a worker on the ground to steady a crane load and stop it from swinging. — “Two men guided the beam with a **tag line** as it rose.” * **residual risk**: The danger that is still left after all the planned safety measures have been put in place. — “After the new guards, the **residual risk** was judged acceptable.” * **incident investigation**: A formal inquiry after an accident that collects facts and questions witnesses to find out why it happened. — “The **incident investigation** showed the guard had never been fitted.” * **corrective action**: A step taken after an accident or fault is found, to fix the problem and stop it from happening again. — “The **corrective action** was to fit a lock on every panel door.” * **carabiner**: A strong metal clip with a spring gate, used to join a harness or rope quickly to a fixed point. — “He snapped the **carabiner** onto the anchor before leaning out.” * **spill kit**: A container of absorbent material and tools kept ready for cleaning up leaked oil or chemicals quickly. — “Grab the **spill kit**;
