Exposure assessment
When performing basic hazard characterization, what should be done before visiting the workplace?
Review existing occupational and environmental health assessment data
When performing a pregnant worker evaluation, the depth of the investigation depends on the ______

Radioactive material (RAM) permit inspection
What is bioenvironmental engineering’s (BE) role in conducting pregnant worker evaluations?
Research, identify, and document hazards
What is the primary focus of the Air Force Inspection System (AFIS)?
Assess unit readiness to execute assigned missions
What is the purpose of a self-assessment checklist (SAC)?
Improve compliance with published guidance
Which command function allows a commander (CC) to determine appropriate training requirements, evaluate wing readiness, and formulate command welfare strategies?
Internal Inspection
What is the purpose of reviewing local work order requests?

The mode by which a health threat interacts with a human being is called ______
Route of exposure
The defining element of an OEHSA is the _____
Conceptual site model (CSM)
Controls are the fundamental method used for protecting workers because they ______

What must be included when BE provides PPE training?
The limitations of the PPE
BE’s role of selecting the correct PPE is essential to _____
Effectively control workplace hazards
Why should face shields be used in conjunction with eye goggles?
Face shields do not provide adequate protection against exposure to radiation
When selecting personal protective equipment (PPE), one of the physical properties to consider is whether ______
The article is comfortable and properly fits the worker
The three steps in determining a health-related risk assessment code (RAC) are to first determine the health hazard severity category (HHSC), then determine the illness probability category (IPC), and then ______
