Roofing OSHA practice test
Free original quizzes for people who work on roofs, solar arrays, and elevated decks. Start with fall protection, then ladders and the construction Focus Four. Paying here does not certify you.
Who it is for: new roofers, solar installers, and helpers who want to review fall hazards before a class or a first week on a California roof. What it covers: guardrails, personal fall arrest basics, ladder setup, and the Focus Four (falls, struck-by, caught-in/between, electrocution).
Start fall protection (15 questions) Ladder safety Focus Four
Three questions every new roofer should be able to answer
- When is fall protection required on your site — and who decides that? Federal OSHA construction rules and Cal/OSHA Title 8 are not always the same trigger height. Confirm with your competent person.
- What is the difference between a guardrail system and a personal fall-arrest system? One keeps you from going over. The other is meant to stop a fall after it starts.
- What is the ladder 4:1 setup rule, and when is a ladder the wrong tool for a roof edge?
Work those in the quizzes below, then read the explanation. Do not treat a practice score as permission to skip the harness your employer issued.

Common questions
Is this a roofing OSHA 10 test?
No. It is independent practice on fall and ladder topics roofers need. An OSHA 10 card still comes from an authorized Outreach trainer after the required hours.
Does California use the same 6-foot rule as federal OSHA?
Not always. Cal/OSHA Title 8 can set different trigger heights and extra rules. Use the quiz for concepts, then confirm the number that applies to your employer and city.
