What does Touch STAR stand for?

• A. STEP, THINK, APPROVE, REVIEW.
• B. START, TAKE, APPLY, REVIEW.
• C. STOP, THINK, ACT, REVIEW.
• D. STOP, TEST, ACT, REPEAT.

Answer: (C)

Touch STAR is a safety decision loop used before doing a task to prevent mistakes and injuries. The idea is to pause and methodically think through what you’re about to do, ensure you’re using the right safe method, and then verify the outcome.

The best answer reflects the standard sequence: Stop to reassess the situation and hazards, Think about the steps, energy sources, and precautions needed, Act by following the correct safe procedure, and then Review to confirm the task was completed safely and correctly and to identify any improvements for next time.

The other options don’t fit because they replace or reorder key steps (for example, using APPROVE or TEST or REPEAT in place of Think or Review, or changing Stop toSTART/STEP/Take/Apply), which doesn’t match how Touch STAR is intended to guide safe action.
