OSH Security Practice Test

The duty of a security guard under the Occupational Health and Safety Act is to maintain a safe working environment, which includes monitoring and addressing any potential safety issues. This involves a commitment to reporting missing or defective equipment, hazards, and using the prescribed protective devices.

Choosing the option that states a security guard must not report any mislabeled or unlabeled containers at their sole discretion is correct because it highlights the importance of communication and proactive safety measures. Reporting mislabeled or unlabeled containers is essential for ensuring safety in the workplace. Allowing guards to choose not to report such issues undermines the safety protocols designed to protect employees and could lead to hazardous situations. Therefore, the obligation to report such issues is a fundamental aspect of their responsibilities, making the selection of this option accurate.
