CHST Practice Test – Complete Exam Preparation

Adherence to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is fundamentally a labor law that regulates minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment. While compliance with the FLSA is essential for ensuring equitable treatment of employees and promoting safe working conditions indirectly by preventing exploitation, it does not directly fall within the realm of safety control methods aimed explicitly at preventing work-related conditions.

In contrast, regular employee training, proper equipment maintenance, and safe work practices are all proactive strategies recognized by OSHA as essential control methods. Regular employee training equips workers with the knowledge and skills to recognize hazards and respond appropriately. Proper equipment maintenance ensures that tools and machinery are functioning correctly, reducing the likelihood of equipment failure that could lead to accidents. Safe work practices involve established protocols and procedures that create a safer work environment, directly contributing to the reduction of workplace hazards and incidents.
