Safety Quiz

At my previous job, safety was a huge effort. We had a couple of weeks of safety training to do every year, including CPR, first aid, and driving safety, as well as job-specific things like hazardous chemicals, fall protection, respirators, electrical safety, excavation safety, etc. We had a monthly safety meeting, and took turns running presenting the monthly safety theme. The theme was usually topical, for example, the one about fireworks was our June meeting in preparation for the Independence Day celebration. The safety department would have all the materials put together for you, including a powerpoint presentation and quiz, all you had to do was read the slides. Well, when I saw the slides for the quiz, they were formatted like this:
