Question1Correct1out of 1 point
Read the following case and answer the question below:
"Francisco does not contribute to the health and social security system, he helps his
elderly aunt with the domestic chores at home, receiving a monthly payment for the two
visits he makes per week."

In the event of an accident, why would Francisco NOT enjoy the benefits of the
Mandatory Social Security corresponding to Law 16,744?

Select your answer:A) Because accidents occurring at home are considered common
accidents.B) Because Francisco's work activity is informal, and he does not contribute to
the health or social security system.C) Because he works fewer hours than the minimum
stipulated in the labor code.D) Because Francisco's work relationship is a direct
agreement with a family member.E) Because he has a direct agreement with a relative.C)
Because he works fewer hours than the minimum stipulated in the labor code.D) Because
Francisco's employment relationship corresponds to a direct agreement with a family
member.
The correct alternative is: Because Francisco's work activity is informal and he does
not contribute to the health or social security system.

Fernando would not enjoy the benefits of mandatory social security because, regardless
of the fact that he works informally, he is not contributing to the health and social
security system. To review the content addressed in this question, refer to item 1 of unit

Question4Correct1out of 1 point
What are the steps involved in hazard identification?
I. Observation
II. Application
III. Identification
IV. Estimate

Select your answer:A) I and II.B) I and IIIC) I, II and III.D) All the alternatives are correct.
The correct alternative is: I and III

Of all the alternatives, "Implementation" and "Estimation" are actions corresponding to

other stages of the risk assessment and management process. To review the content
addressed in this question, refer to Unit 2, item 2, in the "Risk Assessment and
Management Process" outline.

Question5Correct1of 1 point
To prevent accidents from occurring in the workplace, it is necessary to
prevent and assess the risk, which in practice means:
I. Identify sources or situations of danger to prevent and control derived risks.
II. Implement measures in all phases of the company's activity in order to avoid or
control risks derived from work.
III. Conduct a Risk Assessment to estimate the magnitude of those risks that could not
be avoided.

Select your answer:A) Only IIB) I and IIC) II and IIID) All the alternatives are correct.
The correct alternative is: All alternatives are correct.

According to Article 1 of Unit 2, preventing and assessing risk involves a complex

process that involves both the identification of sources or situations of danger, the
implementation of measures in all phases of the company's activity and the performance
of a risk assessment. Therefore, all are correct.
Question6Correct1out of 1 point
The process of Identification + Evaluation + Control is called:
Select your answer:A) Risk management.B) Risk magnitude.C) Risk control.D) All of the
above.
The correct alternative is: Risk management.

In the event that the situation analyzed is determined to be risky, the risk must be
controlled by implementing Prevention Measures. This process (Identification +
Evaluation + Control) is called: Risk Management. To review the content addressed in
this question, please refer to Unit 2 item 2 as an introduction to the content.

Question7correct1out of 1 point
Compare the concepts "Risk" and "Hazard" and determine the differences:
I. In relation to an accident, hazard refers to an act, situation or the source of imminent
harm, as opposed to risk, which refers to the probability and consequence of a
dangerous event.
II. Both contribute to preventing accidents.
III. The hazard is identified through the analysis of the factors that affect the accident,
and the risk is evaluated from the frequency in which hazardous events and their
consequences may occur.
IV. The hazard has the following measurement scales: High-Medium-Low.

A) I and III.B) I, II and III.C) Only I.D) All the alternatives are correct.
The correct alternative is: I and III.

The first alternative refers to the definitions of each concept through a differentiation
and the third alternative points to the way to identify and evaluate both concepts
respectively. The other options are correct statements but do not make a difference.
"Both contribute to prevent accidents" is a similarity and "Danger has the following
measurement scales: High-Medium-Low" is simply a wrong assertion. To review the
content addressed in this question, refer to Unit 2, item 1 as an introduction to the
content.

Question8Correct1out of 1 point
What are the three pillars of Safety Culture?
I. Technical reliability.
II. Management system.
III. Process safety.
IV. Human and organizational factors.

Select your answer: A) I, II and IIIB) I, II and IVC) II, III and IVD) I, III and IV
The correct alternative is: I, II and IV.
The correct alternative is: "B". According to article 2 of unit 3, under the heading "Pillars
of Safety Culture" the following scheme can be observed:

Question9correct1out of 1 point
In order to improve the Safety Culture it is necessary to take into
consideration:
I. The same technical process may require different forms of organization in different
social contexts.
II. Each organizational structure has strengths and weaknesses that must be diagnosed
and managed.
III. A management method or tool that works very well in one context will do the same in
a similar process.
IV. There is no single model to encourage cultural change in safety.

Select your answer:A) I, II and IVB) I, II and IIIC) II, III and IVD) I, III and IV
The correct alternative is: I, II and IV.

According to article 3 of unit 3, under the title "Improving Safety Culture", we can
observe the mention of some considerations focused on this process: - The whole
organization is a bridge between the technical processes and the socio-cultural context.
It makes no sense, then, to reflect in terms of the best organizational form, since the
same technical process may require different forms of organization in different social
contexts. - Each organizational structure has strengths and weaknesses that must be
diagnosed and managed. - It is dangerous to consider that a form of organization, a
method or a management tool that works very well in one context will work in the same
way in a similar process but in a different context. In this last point, note that it
corresponds to an alternative that has the function of being a distractor since it
mentions the opposite of the original text: "A method or management tool that works
very well in one context will do the same in a similar process".

Question10correct1out of 1 point
What characteristics should the leadership that guides the construction of a
safety culture have?
I. Commitment to safety through visible actions.
II. Motivation of the leading team to solve security problems.
III. Pro-activity in responding to the most significant problems.
IV. Sense of urgency and personal energy to achieve results.

Select your answer:A) Only II and IVB) I, II and IIIC) I, II and IVD) All the alternatives are
correct.
The correct alternative is: All alternatives are correct.

According to article 3 of unit 3, under the title "Importance of leadership?" one can
observe the mention of the characteristics focused on that role: "The style of a manager
and the visible demonstration of his commitment to safety through actions is very
important and is carried out on a daily basis. However, leadership must also emerge from
different levels in addition to management. Leaders must not only act on direct work and
monitor compliance with rules and regulations, but must also motivate their staff and
peers to solve safety problems. To do this they must be proactive rather than reactive
and thus provide answers to the most significant problems, demonstrating a sense of
urgency and personal energy to achieve results."

 Stage 1
Question1Correct1out of 1 point
1. Of the following examples, which one corresponds to an occupational
accident?
Select your answer:A) To prevent accidents on her way to work, Isidora decides to wear
sneakers to replace her high-heeled shoes.B) My best friend was diagnosed with
tendinitis in her wrists, she has been working as a secretary for a long time and has
never had her job evaluated, nor was she trained on preventive measures for keyboard
risks.C) Because Alberto was wearing a safety helmet, he was practically unharmed. D) I
sprained my foot on my way to the bank, while carrying out a personal procedure with my
company's permission.
The correct alternative is: Because Alberto was wearing a safety helmet, he was
practically unharmed.

The first case (alternative A) corresponds to measures to prevent a commuting accident;

the second case (alternative B), to an illness associated with an occupational activity;
and the last case (alternative D), to an accident that does not fall under the definition of
"occupational accident". The only case that corresponds to an occupational accident is
that of Alberto (alternative C). It is inferred that it corresponds to an accident since the
observation is made that he "came out of it unharmed".

Question 2correct1out of 1 point

One of the objectives of Law 16,744 is to guarantee the safety and health of
workers, among other objectives are:
I. Prevent accidents and/or occupational diseases.
II. Establish criminal liability.
III. To grant economic benefits.
IV. Rehabilitate the affected worker.

Which of the alternatives does NOT correspond to the objectives of Law 16.744?

Select your answer:A) I, II and IVB) II and IVC) II only IIID) II only
The correct alternative is: Only II

Of all the objectives mentioned, the only one that does not correspond is the
establishment of criminal liability. This option is a distractor, so it cannot be identified in
the content. You will be able to observe this content in article 1 of unit 1, under the title
"What is Law 16.744".

Question3Correct1out of 1 point
Which of the following person(s) does NOT meet the beneficiary profile
stipulated in Law 16.744?
Select your answer:A) Sofía is an accountant and works as a dependent in a foreign
trade company, and also works as a fee earner in another company.B) Fernando does not
contribute to the health and social security system; he works informally selling nuts and
cheese to employees of companies in the downtown area of the city.C) Valentina works
on a fixed-term contract and is also studying at a night school to finish high school.D)
Andrea works as a cab driver, paying her own contributions.
 The correct alternative is: Fernando does not contribute to the health and social
security system; he works informally selling nuts and cheese to employees of companies
in the downtown area.

Of all the people presented, only Fernando would not enjoy the benefits of mandatory
social security because he works informally and does not contribute to the health or
social security system. In the event of an accident, mandatory social security coverage
would not apply. The other characters would enjoy the coverage of the mandatory social
security, since they work in formal labor or academic activities with the following
conditions: fixed contracts, fees, formal studies and/or regulated independent work. You
can review the content addressed in this question in article 1 of unit 1, under the title
"Beneficiaries: which persons does Law 16,744 protect?"

Question4Correct1out of 1 point
Read the following case and answer the question below:
"Don José worked for 20 years in a metal-mechanical company where he was exposed to
noise from the use of angle grinders, hammer blows to metal parts, among other sources
of noise. At the end of his experience in the company, since he did not use protection for
a long time, he had a hearing loss of 30%. Don Luis, his partner with whom he worked
throughout his career, although he did not use protection for a long time, did not suffer
from the same problem".

According to the text and what was reviewed in the unit, which of the factors that
determine the occurrence of occupational diseases intervened or intervened in Don
José's occupational disease?

I. Amount of harmful agent.

II. Type of work.
III. Individual susceptibility.
IV. Time of exposure to the harmful agent.

Select your answer:A) Only IVB) I and IVC) I, III and IVD) All alternatives.
The correct alternative is: I, III and IV.

In Article 2 of Unit 1, under the heading "Occupational Diseases" you reviewed the
following definitions: - Number of harmful agents: Harmful agents can be of biological,
chemical, physical, ergonomic or psychosocial origin. - Exposure time: The longer the
worker is exposed to the pollutant, the greater the risk. - Individual susceptibility: The
occurrence of the condition and its intensity will depend on the characteristics of each
person. Applying the above concepts to the case presented, the quantity of noxious
agents points to the volume and organization of the sound when it becomes noise;
individual susceptibility is evidenced when it is observed that both characters present
different effects under the same working conditions; and exposure time, 20 years of work
under the same conditions. The type of work functions as a distractor because if safety
equipment is used accordingly, the type of work would not represent a risk.

Question 5correct1out of 1 point

Which of the following services corresponds to occupational risk prevention
consulting services?
I. Industrial safety
II. Industrial Hygiene
III. Hospitalization
IV. Occupational training

Select your answer:A) I and IIB) I, II and IIIC) I, II and IVD) All the alternatives are
correct.
The correct alternative is: I, II and IV.

Of all the alternatives, only "hospitalization" does not correspond to occupational risk
prevention advisory services. This is a medical benefit. To review the content addressed
in this question, please refer to article 2 of Unit 1, under the heading "What benefits does
Compulsory Social Security provide?".

Stage 1
Question1Correct1out of 1 point
Let's remember the case of Pablo and his accident in the office:
"Paul has a very important meeting and it is critical that he shows up in a timely manner.
He looks at his watch and since it is still early, he decides to review some documents
before leaving his office.
Looking at the time again, now on the computer, he realizes that his watch was 20
minutes late, so he rushes out of his office.
In his swift run, he loses sight of a puddle of water caused by a problem in the air
conditioning, slipping and falling shockingly in the middle of the corridor.
Finally, Pablo presents a 30-day medical leave, term to be reevaluated according to the
evolution of his injury"

Let's identify in this story the concepts reviewed:

Danger: In the case there are two situations of danger:

1. The puddle caused by the bad air conditioning.

2. The action of running quickly down the office hallway.

From the identification of the hazards in Paul's case and from what was reviewed in Unit
1, define the concept "Hazard".

A) Probable accident whose identification depends on risk frequency analysis.B)

Combination of the probability and consequence of occurrence of or exposure to a
hazardous event and the severity of the injury or illness that may be caused by it.C)
Source, situation or act with potential for harm in terms of injury or illness, or a
combination of these.D) Alert, notification or warning about situations or sources with
potential for harm in terms of injury or illness.C) Source, situation or act with potential
for harm in terms of injury or illness, or a combination of these.D) Alert, notification or
warning about situations or sources with potential for harm in terms of injury or illness.
The correct alternative is: Source, situation or act with potential for harm in terms of
injury or disease, or a combination of these.

According to Paul's case and what we have seen in the unit, the concept "Danger" is not
defined as: an accident (alternative A), nor as Risk - a combination of the probability and
the consequence of an accident occurring - (alternative B), nor the warning or
notification of an eventual accident. Hazard is defined as "Source, situation or act with
potential for harm in terms of injury or illness, or a combination of these". In Paul's case,
the puddle caused by the bad air conditioner and the action of running quickly down the
office hallway are examples of the definition of Danger. To review the content addressed
in this question, refer to Unit 2, item 1, under the heading "Applying the concepts of
"Hazard" and "Risk"".

The correct alternative is: 1. Hazard identification; 2. Risk assessment; 3. Controlled
risk; 4. Prevention measures; 5. Analysis; 6. Management.

Hazard identification and risk assessment - together with risk estimation - are logically
the first steps in the risk management process. Without these preliminary stages, it is
impossible to sustain the following stages that require observation and systematization
of the information collected. Progressively, the system becomes more complex through
processes such as the analysis of this information and its evaluation, ending with the
management of the process. To review the content addressed in this question, refer to
article 2 of unit 2, under the heading "Outline of the risk assessment and management
process". Check the correct answer yourself from the following

Read the following case and answer:
"Gonzalo works in the circus that has been in his family for generations. In each
performance he is in charge of juggling with fire, spitting fuel from his mouth. He has not
had any accidents as a result of his work for two years.
The circus operates every day except Mondays."

What is the probability of an accident occurring in Gonzalo's job?

Select your answer:A) Null probabilityB) Low probabilityC) Medium probabilityD) High
probability
The correct alternative is: Average probability

According to article 2 of unit 2, under the heading "Variables for risk estimation", we can
observe the characteristics of the Average Probability: An event that does not occur
often, occurs less than once a year and has a probability of acquiring an occupational
disease that is greater than the normal average.

Question 4 correct1out of 1 point

Which of the following does NOT correspond to observation foci when
identifying hazards?
Select your answer:A) Stages of the work process.B) Workstations involved.C) Self-care
oriented behavior.D) Activities performed; machinery, equipment, products and tools
used.
The correct alternative is: Self-care oriented behavior.
You are expected to associate information about the objectives of Law 16.744 and
discriminate those that do NOT correspond. Of all the alternatives, "Behavior oriented
towards self-care" is a distractor, which points to the attitudes that we must generate to
install a safety culture in the company. To review the content addressed in this question,
refer to item 2 of Unit 2, under the heading "Step 1: Hazard Identification".

Question 5 correct1out of 1 point

When we speak of a "moderately harmful" level of consequence for a risk
present in an activity, we mean that:
I. It is an activity that has consequences whose injuries could result in temporary
disability.
II. It is an activity that has consequences such as lacerations, burns, major sprains,
minor fractures, dermatitis, musculoskeletal pain.
III. It is an activity that results in reversible occupational diseases.
IV. It is an activity that results in irreparable and extensive material damage.

Select your answer:A) I and IIB) I, II and IIIC) II, III and IVD) All the alternatives are
correct.
The correct alternative is: I, II and III.

The correct alternative is "B": I, II and III Of all the alternatives, only "irreparable and
extensive material damage" does not correspond to an average level of damage to the
worker's health and physical integrity; this alternative corresponds to a distractor. To
review the content addressed in this question, refer to Unit 2, item 2, in the multimedia

Stage 1
Question1Correct1out of 1 point
"An incident and/or accident is usually the result of a number of factors
interacting in an unforeseen manner. Many of these factors are related to
organizational culture and how it conceives and practices safety."
What does the above text refer to?

Select your answer:A) The relationship between safety and organizational culture.B) The
importance of studying safety culture.C) The support that safety culture must have in a
strong management system.D) The observation of organizational culture in the absence
of leadership.
 The correct alternative is: To the relationship established between safety and
organizational culture.

The text presented refers to the relationship established between safety and
organizational culture, in article 1 of module 3, under the title "Safety and organizational
culture". This relationship is illustrated in the case of industrial assembly, where a work
site is stopped to prevent a work-related accident. "The importance of studying Safety
Culture" is not explicitly addressed in the contents. "The support that the Safety Culture
must have in a strong management system" corresponds rather to a characteristic of
this relationship between Organizational Culture and safety, i.e. of the Safety Culture.
And finally, "the observation of the organizational culture in the absence of leadership"
functions as a distractor.

Question2Correct1out of 1 point
Read the following case and answer the question below:
"At "Los Cisnes" transport company, as is to be expected in this line of business, speed
of product delivery is its main value proposition. It is distinguished for being one of the
fastest in the market, and it is common practice for drivers to comply with a demanding
route plan, setting a high daily goal associated with both the number of deliveries and a
limited delivery time. As a consequence of this way of working, many drivers, although
their income has increased due to the bonuses they receive, have begun to show
symptoms of fatigue and at one point, accidents and medical leaves have increased to
such an extent that it has become increasingly difficult to achieve the goals and, for the
first time in many years, they have begun to receive complaints from their clients."

What elements of the case show the absence of a Safety Culture?

I. The drivers were under a high level of stress due to the demanding route plan.
II. It is evident that there is a safety culture of the "Office in safety" type
III. Management was more committed to the company's bottom line than to the safety of
its workers.
IV. The increase in remuneration for the achievement of goals.

Select your answer:A) I and IIIB) I and IIC) I, II and IIID) I, III and IV
The correct alternative is: I and III

The correct answer is alternative "A": the drivers were under a high level of stress due to
the demanding route plan, and management was committed to the company's bottom
line rather than the safety of its workers. On the other hand, the Culture of Occupational
Safety is characterized by focusing safety responsibilities on the worker. In the case
presented, this leading role could not be evidenced. As for the increase in remuneration
for the achievement of goals, although it was mentioned in the case, it does not in itself
evidence the absence of a safety culture, nor its presence, since it is not considered in
relation to safety.

Read the following case and answer:
"Teachers of an educational establishment request the principal to convene an extra-
programmatic meeting to address the problem of the increase in medical leave due to
voice-related disorders. The principal promptly agrees, coordinating the meeting the
following day.

After analyzing all the factors that explain this increase in medical leaves, among all the
measures that were proposed at the table, the principal offers a generous budget to train
in voice imposition and to buy some voice amplifiers for those teachers who require it."

Which of the following types of Safety Culture does the above case correspond to?

Select your answer:A) Fatalistic culture.B) Regulatory or managerial culture.C)

Integrated culture.D) Safety culture of the trade.
The correct alternative is: Integrated culture.

According to Article 2 of Unit 3, under the heading "Types of Safety Culture", the
description of each type of Safety Culture can be observed. Fatalistic safety culture: -
Accidents are believed to be a fatality, a stroke of bad luck and inevitable. - Inaction
prevails, convinced that accidents will happen in the same way. Occupational safety
culture: - Characterized by weak management involvement in occupational accident
prevention. - Employees become stakeholders in safety. Regulatory or managerial
culture: - Management plays a predominant role in the elaboration and development of
security measures. - Employee participation is simply limited to the implementation of
these measures. Integrated Culture: - Management takes the lead from initiatives that
encourage employee participation in safety management and implementation of
measures. If we apply these concepts to the case presented, we can see that both the
teachers and the principal were actively involved in proposing measures to address the
problem of increased medical leave due to a generalized occupational illness. Therefore,
we are talking about an integrated security culture.

Select your answer:A) I, II and IIIB) I, III and IVC) II, III and IVD) I, II and IV
The correct alternative is: I, III and IV.

The correct alternative is: "B": I, III and IV. According to article 3 of unit 3, under the title
"How is a safety culture developed?" it is possible to observe the mention of some
characteristics focused on this process: - Different models agree that there are different
stages of maturity in the process of improving safety culture. Each state of maturity is
described from the technical elements implemented in the organization and from the
characteristics of its organizational culture. - Advancing from one state to another
requires mobilization of the entire organization and for this commitment and leadership
is central. - In addition to working in a systemic and integrated way on the three pillars
of the Safety Culture. The alternative corresponding to "The development process
towards a Safety Culture is characterized by being objective and standard". It is not part
