Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

Which of these is NOT a recommended site rule?

1. Keep the job site clean and free of debris

2. All work must comply with applicable codes

3. Workers must supply their own protective gear

4. Follow all safety policies

The correct answer is: Workers must supply their own protective gear

The choice that is identified as the correct answer reflects a misconception about the responsibilities of employers and contractors on a construction site. Generally, it is established practice for employers to provide necessary protective gear to their workers, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and mitigating risks associated with job site hazards. While it may be advisable or an option for workers to bring their own gear in certain contexts, relying solely on them to supply their own protective equipment is not a standard site rule. Instead, the employer or contractor should ensure that all workers have access to the appropriate protective gear. The other options represent fundamental principles of job site safety and operational efficacy. Keeping the job site clean and free of debris promotes safety and efficiency, while ensuring that all work complies with applicable codes safeguards against legal liabilities and promotes quality standards in construction. Adhering to safety policies is vital for preserving worker safety and can help avoid accidents and injuries on the site.
