What is the purpose of focusing on STKY?

• A. To memorize a code.
• B. To save lives and prevent injuries.
• C. To evaluate gloves.
• D. To pass tests.

Answer: (B)

Focusing on STKY centers on safety and preventing harm. The purpose is to save lives and prevent injuries by making safety the default in every action—you identify hazards, assess risks, and choose protective controls before work starts. This means planning, de-energizing equipment when required, using PPE, following procedures, isolating and tagging, and staying aware of your surroundings so you can stop work if something looks unsafe. The goal isn’t merely to memorize rules or to pass a test; it’s about applying safety practices in real situations. The other options miss the bigger aim: memorizing a code doesn’t guarantee safe actions on the job; evaluating gloves is just one task in PPE checks; passing tests is a consequence of learning, not the purpose of focusing on STKY.
