Sample questions
01What does the first 'S' in the 4-S emergency procedure stand for?
- ASIGN the area with warning notices
- BSUMMON specialist help
- CSEAL the affected area
- DSTOP all work immediately
Why: The first step of the 4-S emergency procedure is to STOP all work immediately. This prevents further disturbance of the suspected asbestos-containing material and limits fibre release into the atmosphere.
02In the correct order, what are the four steps of the 4-S emergency procedure for accidental asbestos disturbance?
- ASEAL, STOP, SIGN, SUMMON
- BSTOP, SIGN, SEAL, SUMMON
- CSTOP, SEAL, SIGN, SUMMON
- DSUMMON, STOP, SEAL, SIGN
Why: The 4-S procedure must be followed in order: STOP all work, SEAL the area to prevent fibre spread, SIGN the area with warning notices to prevent entry, and SUMMON specialist help such as a licensed asbestos contractor.
03What constitutes an 'accidental disturbance' of asbestos?
- AAny unplanned activity that damages or disturbs known or suspected asbestos-containing materials
- BA planned removal of asbestos carried out under an HSE licence and a plan of work
- CThe natural weathering of asbestos cement roof sheeting left undisturbed outdoors
- DA scheduled survey visit to sample suspect materials for laboratory analysis
Why: An accidental disturbance is any unplanned activity that damages or disturbs known or suspected asbestos-containing materials. This can include drilling, cutting, sanding, or any work that breaks the surface of ACMs, regardless of scale.
