A high-heat observation method allows one supervisor to observe 20 or fewer employees. How many observation groups are needed for 38 employees?

Correct Answer

D) 2 groups.

Thirty-eight employees divided by 20 per group is 1.9, so the site must round up to 2 observation groups.

Answer Options
A
1 group.
B
3 groups.
C
4 groups.
D
2 groups.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Thirty-eight employees divided by 20 per group is 1.9, so the site must round up to 2 observation groups.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 1 group.

1 group. is below the supported result for high heat procedures; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option B: 3 groups.

3 groups. is above the supported result for high heat procedures; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option C: 4 groups.

4 groups. is above the supported result for high heat procedures; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to thirty-eight, adjust for employees, then let Assigning High-Heat set the finish line.

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize High heat procedures from Cal/OSHA Title 8 Sections 3395 and 3396; CSLB Law and Business Study. / Title 8 Section 3395 high-heat observation; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
