Inspect before entry
Check roof, sides, supports, gas clues, roadways and machinery before workers enter.
Stop exposure
Withdraw or stop work when support, gas, fire, water, haulage or machinery risk is unsafe.
Report and hand over
Write facts truthfully, escalate serious hazards and verify handover before the next shift.

Key rules
Rule 1

Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.
Rule 2
The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.
Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.
Rule 3
Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.
Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.
