Prepare for the ASP examination with the QHSE Talks ASP 11 Domain 2 Topics 1–7 Study Guide, a comprehensive self-study resource covering the first seven topic areas of ASP Domain 2: Safety Programs and Concepts. This book brings together more than 300 pages of structured safety and health learning material, practical explanations, exam-focused guidance, worked examples, key definitions, checklists, practice questions, and detailed answer explanations. The book contains 314 pages in total. ASP_Domain2 

The guide covers seven essential ASP Domain 2 topics: Safety Management Systems for Development of Programs, including ISO 45001 and ANSI/ASSP Z10.0; the Hierarchy of Hazard Controls; Hazard and Risk Analysis Methods; Risk Matrix Methodology; the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS); Hazardous Energy Control Programs; and General Electrical Principles. 

Topic 1 develops your understanding of safety management systems, management-system structure, PDCA, ISO 45001, ANSI/ASSP Z10.0, leadership, worker participation, planning, operational control, performance evaluation, management review, and continual improvement. The guide also explains how management-system frameworks can be used to develop and maintain effective safety programs. 

Topic 2 focuses on the hierarchy of hazard controls and the principles behind selecting effective controls, including elimination, substitution, engineering controls, warnings, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. 

Topic 3 covers hazard and risk analysis methods such as Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA), Job Hazard Analysis (JHA/JSA), Checklist Analysis, What-If Analysis, FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, HAZOP, Management of Change, Bow-Tie Analysis, and method selection.

Topic 4 explains risk matrix methodology, including severity and likelihood scales, risk ranking, risk categorization, ALARP and tolerability concepts, risk mitigation, residual risk, documentation, governance, and practical risk matrix applications. ASP_Domain2 topic 1 - 7 - Copy

Topic 5 provides coverage of the GHS framework, hazard classification, label elements, the 16-section Safety Data Sheet, written hazard communication programs, employee training, implementation considerations, and practice questions. ASP_Domain2 topic 1 - 7 - Copy

Topic 6 addresses hazardous energy control programs, including energy-source-specific hazards, lockout/tagout principles, written energy control programs, isolation procedures, training, inspections, auditing, special situations, and exam application. ASP_Domain2 topic 1 - 7 - Copy

Topic 7 introduces general electrical principles, including voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s Law, electrical power and energy, circuit analysis, alternating current, impedance, reactance, electrical hazards, grounding, protective devices, and overcurrent protection.
