Partners. Exam Questions and Answers
100% Pass
What is our safety vision? - answer✔Every Cintas location is injury free. Every partner is
engaged in continuously improving safety. Cintas is widely recognized as one of the world's
leaders in safety and health performance.
What is the purpose of our near-miss program? - answer✔To prevent serious injuries and
incidents from happening. Partners are engaged and willing to help in making the location
safer.
What method do we use to determine the root cause of an incident? - answer✔The Ishikawa
Fish Bone Diagram. HOP (Human and Organizational Performance) Learning.
Why do all chemical containers, including secondary containers, need to be label3ed with a GHS
label? - answer✔Hazard identification, PPE requirements
Why do we have a chemical inventory and approval process? - answer✔To ensure proper
inventory of chemicals and to ensure that each location is aware of the hazards and related
safety precautions of each chemical. And, to allow an opportunity to consider other less
hazardous chemicals.
Who is allowed to weld on stainless steel? What special precautions must be taken and why?
What documentation is required prior to welding on stainless steel? - answer✔Cintas partners
may weld on stainless steel using on TIG or MIG welding. Actual welding time may not exceed 2
hours/partner/8-hour shift.
Welding is not permitted in any confined space such as a washer, dryer, or steam tunnel.
Stainless steel welding releases harmful fumes that contain hexavalent chromium.
Contractors that weld on stainless steel must follow proper air monitoring and ventilation
procedures and have their respiratory program reviewed and approved by Corporate S&H
team.
Why do we require secondary containment for containers in use (drums and large bulk tanks)? -
answer✔To prevent possible spills from spreading to other areas/spaces.
What can happen if drum wands are not properly labeled? - answer✔Wands may accidentally
be placed in the wrong drum, creating a potentially hazardous chemical reaction with toxic
fumes.
Why should chemical spills and dry chemical residue be cleaned after a spill incident? -
answer✔Chemical residue when dry will become active again on human skin; skin moisture and
sweat will activate the chemical; 2nd and 3rd degree burns are possible.
Why do we install guards around chemical pumps? - answer✔Chemical pumps operate with
compressed air, and common failures include failed seals and dislodged pipes/hoses... any of
these scenarios cause chemical to be sprayed around the pump, presenting a significant safety
hazard.
What safety procedures must be followed when a bulk chemical delivery takes place? -
answer✔Cintas location management myst complete contractor pre-job briefing for bulk
chemical delivery with WSI and driver of delivery truck before the delivery is initiated.
Establish a 25 foot perimeter around the delivery truck outside the plant, and any entrances or
access points to the area from inside the plant, before the delivery is initiated. The Contractor
safety program has a permit that must be competed for each instance of a bulk chemical
delivery.
What is a job safety analysis? What are the elements of a JSA? - answer✔Assessment of the
hazards and steps to eliminate or minimize the hazards associated with a specific position or
task.
Hazard controls are evaluated and implemented as appropriate
PPE requirements are established
What is a Task Based JSA? - answer✔This is an analysis of a task or job that is more specific to
the position, that includes an assessment of the hazards and steps to eliminate or minimize the
hazards. (Examples of a TBJSA may be use of a cutting tool, filling the chemical day tanks for
wash alley, Heavy Metals or Healthcare handling process.)
Why is LOTO important? When should LOTO be followed? - answer✔It protects partners (and
contractors) while they are performing work on equipment/machines where the unexpected
startup or release of hazardous energy could occur and cause injury.
LOTO shall be followed any time a partner is performing a task that requires them to place any
part of their body into a location where work is being performed or when machine or
equipment guards have been removed.
Why is it important to review the LOTO procedures for apiece of equipment prior to engaging in
a PM or repair? - answer✔It helps the partner become familiar with the sources of energy on a
piece of equipment, gather all necessary LOTO devices, know who affected partners are, and be
prepared to perform the work on the equipment in a safe manner.
What categories of LOTO are now prevalent in our LOTO program? - answer✔Category Z - all
energy sources, and potential energy sources, for a piece of equipment are identified for
isolation
PRCS Category Z - Certain equipment that qualifies as a Permit Required Confined Space (PRCS)
may be reclassified to a non-Permit Required Confined Space to perform certain tasks when
PRCS-Reclassification LOTO procedures are applied and no uncontrollable hazards are created.
All energy sources, and potential energy sources, for a piece of equipment are identified for
isolation.
Category EE - All electrical sources for a piece of equipment are identified for isolation
