Hazardous Materials Technician 2 (Hazmat
Technician 2) Questions and Answers Exam
me getting ready to start tech 2 - ANSWER>>electric boogaloo
actions options and response objectives - ANSWER>>offensive
defensive
nonintervention
steps for determining response objectives - ANSWER>>estimated outcomes
stage of the incident
strategic goals: stopping the occurring event, keeping future events from
occurring
two principles apply to determine response objectives - ANSWER>>one cannot
influence events that have already happened or change the outcomes of those
events
the earlier an event sequence can be interrupted, the more acceptable the loss
decisions made on the response objectives should focus on - ANSWER>>the
stressor, the containment system, and the hazardous materials
look at chart on page 64 - ANSWER>>look at chart on page 64
change applied stress - ANSWER>>Move stressor, move stressed system, shield
stressed system
,change breach size - ANSWER>>Chill contents, limit stress levels, activate venting
devices, mechanical repair
change quantity released - ANSWER>>change container position, minimize
pressure differential, cap off breach, and remove contents (most important for
product transfer of equipment)
change size of the danger zone - ANSWER>>Barriers (dikes and dams),
adsorbents, absorbents, diluents (run off must be controlled), reactants, over
pack
change exposures contacted - ANSWER>>Provide sheltering, begin evacuation,
personal protective equipment
change severity of harm - ANSWER>>rinse off contamination
increase distance from source
provide shielding
provide prompt medical attention
Homeland Security standards for respiratory protection is developed by -
ANSWER>>the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
NFPA
SCBA can either be ____ or ____ pressure - ANSWER>>High or low pressure
Permeation - ANSWER>>Process that occurs when a chemical passes through a
fabric on a molecular level.
permeation data - ANSWER>>includes information about permeation rate (speed)
at which chemical moves through CPC materials after breakthrough
, SCBA (Self-contained breathing apparatus) - ANSWER>>Respirator with
independent air supply used by firefighters to enter toxic and otherwise
dangerous atmospheres.
Supplied-air respirator (SAR) - ANSWER>>An atmosphere-supplying respirator for
which the source of breathing air is not designed to be carried by the user. (NFPA
1404)
Air-purifying respirators (APRs) - ANSWER>>carry an air purifying device that
removes specific contaminants
Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) - ANSWER>>Motorized respirator that
uses a filter to clean surrounding air, then delivers it to the wearer to breathe;
typically includes a headpiece, breathing tube, and a blower/battery box that is
worn on the belt.
particulate respirators - ANSWER>>basically think of N95 mask that is a filter to
get dust and other stuff like that
make sure to never use chemical protective clothing whenever it - ANSWER>>is
beyond its expiration date and/or has exceeded its service life
Does a single type of PPE protect against all hazards? - ANSWER>>No, you must
use the correct one for the correct hazard
Level A - ANSWER>>highest level of protection against vapors, gases, mists, and
particles for respiratory tract, eyes and skin
Level B - ANSWER>>Worn when the highest level of respiratory protection is
necessary, but a lesser level of skin protection is needed
Level C - ANSWER>>different from level B in the area of equipment needed for
respiratory protection
