Safety

CSLB weights Safety at about 19% of the C-17 exam: worker safety and job site safety. The questions follow the California Cal/OSHA safety orders. This page is a short survey; the PrepPass C-17 Glazing study guide teaches the section with worked examples and a full practice exam at CSLB's weights.
