What condition must be met before a worker undertakes work?

• A. The person must be in a fit condition to carry out the work.
• B. The person must be in good mood.
• C. The person must have a passport.
• D. Complete a form and wait 24 hours.

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that a worker must be physically and mentally ready to perform the task safely. In mining safety practice, you’re not allowed to start work unless you’re fit to carry it out—this covers your physical capability, alertness, and overall ability to follow procedures and respond to hazards. If you’re not fit, you should not begin, and you should report it so appropriate arrangements can be made.

That’s why the correct option is the one that states you must be in a fit condition to carry out the work. Being in a good mood doesn’t guarantee safety or capability, a passport has no bearing on job safety, and simply completing a form and waiting 24 hours isn’t a general safety prerequisite for starting work. If there’s doubt about fitness, address it before proceeding.
