Question 1

A standard form completed by every employee to inform the employer of the time spent working on a particular site is called:

Accepted Answer

A time sheet is a document completed by employees to record the time they have worked on a particular site. It is used to calculate their pay and also helps to track employee productivity. Job sheet and daywork sheet are also used in construction industry to record details of work completed, but they do not pertain specifically to the time spent on a particular site. A delivery note is used to confirm that goods have been delivered to a customer.

Question 2

Identify the statutory regulations from the following list:

Accepted Answer

A) The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is a fundamental piece of legislation in the UK that outlines the duties of employers to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees at work. C) The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 are statutory regulations in the UK that require precautions to be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity in work activities.

Question 3

Everyone in the workplace has this responsibility for safety:

Accepted Answer

Duty of care is a legal responsibility that requires individuals to take reasonable care in their actions and avoid harm to others. In the workplace, everyone has a duty of care to ensure the safety of themselves and their colleagues. This involves being aware of potential hazards, taking necessary precautions, following safety protocols and reporting any unsafe behavior or conditions. While first aid, slips, trips and falls, and maintenance of tools and equipment are all important aspects of workplace safety, they fall under the broader responsibility of duty of care.

Question 4

The person who is the company representative responsible for electrical safety in the work environment is called the:

Accepted Answer

The duty holder is the person or organization responsible for the overall management and control of workplace electrical safety. They have a legal obligation to ensure that electrical equipment, systems, and work environments are safe for employees to work in. The other options are not specific to electrical safety responsibilities.

Question 5

Identify the non-statutory regulations from the following list which impact upon electrical systems:

Accepted Answer

The IET Regulations BS 7671: 2008, also known as the Wiring Regulations, are not statutory regulations but are widely recognized standards for the electrical installation industry in the UK. They are issued by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the British Standards Institution (BSI) but do not have the force of law, although they may be used in legal proceedings as evidence of good practice.

Question 6

A site plan has a scale of 1:100. From the scale drawing you can see that a socket outlet must be positioned on a wall 40 cm from the corner of the room in which you are standing. How far from the corner of the room would you actually measure to the centre of the socket's fixing position taking the scale into account?

Accepted Answer

The scale 1:100 means that 1 unit on the plan is equal to 100 units in reality. Therefore, 40 cm on the plan translates to 40 cm * 100 = 4000 cm in reality, which is equal to 40 meters.

Question 7

A diagram which shows most clearly how a circuit works, with all items represented by graphical symbols, is a description of a:

Accepted Answer

A circuit diagram is specifically designed to show how a circuit works with all items represented by graphical symbols, making it the best choice for this scenario. Block diagrams typically show a system's components in a more generalized way, while site plans or layout diagrams focus on the physical locations of objects. Wiring diagrams specifically emphasize the electrical connections and wiring paths between components, but may not include all components or their functions.

Question 8

A diagram which shows the detailed connections between individual items of equipment is a description of a:

Accepted Answer

A wiring diagram shows the detailed connections between individual items of equipment, including how they are wired and connected electrically. A block diagram shows the components of a system, but does not show the detailed connections. A site plan or layout diagram shows the physical arrangement of equipment on a site. A circuit diagram shows the components of a circuit and how they are connected, but does not show the physical layout of equipment.

Question 9

A scale drawing showing the position of equipment by graphical symbols is a description of a:

Accepted Answer

A site plan or layout diagram is a scale drawing that shows the position of equipment by graphical symbols, typically used in construction and engineering projects. Block diagrams, wiring diagrams, and circuit diagrams are more specific to electrical systems and do not usually incorporate equipment location.

Question 10

The scale drawing which shows the actual position of the electrical equipment upon completion of the contract is called a:

Accepted Answer

A scale drawing which shows the actual position of the electrical equipment upon completion of the contract is called an as-fitted drawing. A wiring diagram shows the connections between electrical components, a detail assembly drawing shows the construction of a specific component, and a site plan or layout drawing shows the location of buildings, roads, and other features on a property.

Question 11

A scale drawing which shows the original intention for the position of electrical equipment is called a:

Accepted Answer

A site plan or layout drawing is typically used to show the original intended placement of equipment within a building or property. A wiring diagram would only show the electrical connections and not the position of the equipment, a detail assembly drawing would only show the details of a specific component or assembly, and an as-fitted drawing would show the actual placement after installation, not the original intention.

Question 12

A standard form which records changes or extra work on a large project is called a:

Accepted Answer

A daywork sheet is a document that records any extra or additional work done on a construction or building project. It includes details such as the work description, the date, the time taken, and the cost of the extra work. It is used to keep track of the project's progress and ensure that any changes or additions are properly documented and accounted for.

Question 13

A standard form containing information about work to be done usually distributed by a manager to an electrician is called:

Accepted Answer

A job sheet is a document that contains information about the work to be done, including the location, tasks to be performed, materials needed, and any special instructions. It is typically used by managers to assign tasks to electricians and other workers. Time sheets are used to track the hours worked by employees, delivery notes are used to record the delivery of goods, and daywork sheets are used to itemize the work that has been done on a particular day. Therefore, A is the best choice as it specifically describes the document used to assign work to an electrician.

Question 14

A record which confirms that materials ordered have been delivered to site is called:

Accepted Answer

A delivery note is a document that serves as evidence of delivery of goods to a recipient. It includes details such as the name and address of the recipient, the date of delivery, a list of items delivered, the quantity of each item, and the signature of the person who received the delivery. This is important for keeping track of materials ordered and ensuring that everything has been received as expected. Job sheets, time sheets, and daywork sheets are all different types of documents used for tracking and recording work done, but they do not serve the same purpose as a delivery note.

Question 15

Employers of companies employing more than five people must:
