Presbycusis Hearing loss due to old age
Presbyopia impaired vision as a result of aging, difficulty focusing
Byssinosis Disease from inhaling cotton fibers. Also called "brown lung disease" or "Monday
fever". Reaction against cotton, linen, hemp products in textile/fabric industry.
Four (4) types of human errors discussed in Human Factors Engineering. "Errors C.O.S.T.
time and money"
1. Commission: doing something wrong
2. Omission: leaving something out
3. Sequence: doing something in the wrong order
4. Timing: doing something out of allotted time, too fast or too slow
Does the employers have to post OSHA citations? Yes, for 3 days or until corrected.
Audiogram Written record of hearing threshold at specified frequencies.
Audiometer a device that can present tones of different frequencies, from low in pitch to
high in pitch, at different volumes from soft to loud
What dB at 3000 hz during an audiogram means the person can't hear the tone? 30 dB
Factors that affect absorption of noise angle to noise source, frequency of noise, density,
condition/cleanliness, type of mounting, shape of surface
,To improve noise absorption through engineering controls, what properties do you want?
Good porosity, thickness, air gaps
Emissivity Ratio of radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at
the same temperature. A black body is 1.0 (highest), down to 0 (bright, reflective surfaces).
Emissivity of bright metal surfaces Low - less than 0.1 (bright metal is a good reflector),
meaning it is good for reducing radiant heat.
Emissivity of unpolished surfaces Close to 1.0, which is high, meaning not great for reducing
radiant heat.
Carpal tunnel affects what nerve and what parts of the hand? Median nerve. Thumb,
pointer and ring fingers, NOT the pinky. Inflammation and pain in the wrist. Thenar wasting is
sign of advanced disease.
Metal Fume Fever Acute condition from brief high exposure to metal fumes (e.g., zinc,
magnesium, their oxides). Symptoms appear from 4 to 12 hours after exposure -- fever, shaking
chills (flu-like). Recovery is quick. Workers can develop immunity, but a break and re-exposure
normally makes it worse.
What do altitude changes affect (and not affect) regarding fans? Horsepower needed (air
has less mass), static pressure (not as much needed). But the CFM (volumetric rate) is NOT
changed by altitude, and neither is RPM of the fan.
SCBA & airline respirator rules Must be Grade D or higher; can use high pressure air; oil
pumped with filtering is acceptable. Medical oxygen is NOT allowed - dangerous because of
increased flammability.
Abduction, adduction, flexion, extension Adbuction: increasing angle of arm to body, AWAY.
Adduction: decreasing angle of arm to body, TOWARD.
,Extension: increasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Flexion: decreasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Grade D breathing air 19.5%-23.5% oxygen
<5 mg/m3 of oil
<10 ppm CO
<1000 ppm CO2.
TLV, PEL, IDLH for carbon monoxide TLV of 50 ppm (ACGIH); STEL of 400.
IDLH of 1500 ppm (NIOSH)
PEL of 35-50 (OSHA); ceiling is 200, instantaneous is 1500.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Air pollution that is a product of combustion of fossil fuels.
Flammable, colorless, odorless, poisonous. Chemical asphyxiate. Does NOT harm red blood
cells, but reduces their oxygen-carrying capacity.
Teratogen an agent or factor that causes malformation of an embryo or fetus. Does not
propagate across generational lines.
Next best option to electric forklifts for emissions. Convert the forklift to LP gas.
Double insulation does not protect against shock in what circumstance? Water, wet
locations
(Data terms) Random, stratified, systematic, cluster Random: everyone has an equal change.
Stratified: separated by layers. Systematic: patterned response. Cluster: confined to a location.
pH less than 7 acid
, pH greater than 7 base
activated carbon A form of specially treated, porous carbon, used to absorb various odors
and vapors. Has a non-polar surface.
Axial flow fans High volume and low pressure drop; general & dilution ventilation; NOT good
for LEV; NOT used to move air through a duct; sometimes used for comfort.
Centrifugal fans Fan axis is perpendicular to flow -- spits air out 90 degrees. Low noise.
Suited to high pressures. Low to moderate static pressures; used in heating & air conditioning;
workhorse of industrial hygiene; sometimes called squirrel cages; good for lint, wood chips &
dust.
Forward blades in centrifugal fan Blades are curved in the direction of rotation. Used
whenever a large air volume has to be moved in a tight space. Requires more power, which can
overload motors.
Backward blades in centrifugal fan Blades are curved in the opposite direction of rotation.
More efficient than forward blades.
Paddle wheel or long-shaving wheel Used with medium tip speed for buffing exhaust,
woodworking exhaust or when heavy dust must pass through the fan.
Max travel distance of fire extinguisher in light hazard occupancies 75 ft. Includes places like
churches, clubs, education centers, kennels, museums, homes.
Inspection items for self-closing doors 1) Lubrication on guides & bearings
2) Binders are not bent, thus obstructing door
3) Chains/wire ropes have not stretched.
