How about about a change of pace. Inspectors commonly encounter a number of “potential” and dangerous conditions that can have an adverse impact on your health or possibly others. Let’s test your knowledge of practical “inspection safety”.

My apologies to all and particular to Dave Bush - for posting this question before the end of the day! I jumped in a half-day too soon. Now how the “heck” does one undo it?

What needs to be done is a re-structuring of the multiple choice answers. (Just a suggestion, not a dictate, by the way).
First, if it's "airborne," it is de facto respirable. Depending on the nature and composition of the aerosol, it may well be hazardous as well.
Second, if C is true (too thick to see through), then likely A and B are also de facto true, particularly if the inspector is not already properly-equipped with appropriate PPE.
Hard to see that there is even a "best" answer, the way the question is posed, and given the answer choices available.

Definitely, one area that many H.I.s face is that of “safety”. Unfortunately it is often taken for granted, until it is too late. I have seen colleagues fall ill to many health and safety issues from simply performing their job, in less than desirable locations such as crawlspaces, attics, roofs, electrical panels, etc. As such everyone should remember the importance of “personal safety”.

All too true! Everyone should remember the dangerous environments they are sometimes in. With live electrical equipment, possible asbestos particles, toxic fumes, Mold particles, etc. History shows us that those who don’t take the warnings and use safety precautions are the ones who are most likely to get sick or injured.
