Who is defined as anyone employed by or under contract to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA)?

• A. Energize
• B. False Occupancy
• C. Employee in Charge
• D. Employee

Answer: (D)

The key idea is who the rules apply to. The term that covers everyone who works for UTA or for someone contracted to work for UTA is “employee.” This includes direct employees and anyone brought in under a contract to perform work for UTA, such as contractors or consultants, when they are on UTA property or engaged in UTA projects. This makes safety, policy, and operational rules apply to all people doing work for or with UTA.

The other terms refer to specific roles or concepts rather than the general status of who is covered. An “Employee in Charge” is a person with a designated supervisory role, not the broad description of all workers. “Energize” relates to powering equipment, not a person. “False Occupancy” describes a condition or rule, not a worker.
