Shop Safety, Regulations & Professional Practices (Questions 1–6)
QUESTION 1.
A technician discovers a vehicle with a deployed airbag system after a collision.
Before beginning structural repairs, what should be done first?
A. Disconnect the battery after welding begins.
B. Verify supplemental restraint system procedures and safely disable the system
according to manufacturer requirements.
C. Remove all airbags immediately.
D. Begin frame repairs to stabilize the vehicle.
Correct Answer: B. Verify supplemental restraint system procedures and safely
disable the system according to manufacturer requirements.
Explanation: Proper SRS procedures reduce the risk of accidental deployment and
technician injury. Manufacturer procedures should always be followed before repairs
begin. Option A delays a critical safety step, Option C may damage reusable
components or violate procedures, and Option D ignores a major safety hazard.
,QUESTION 2.
Which fire extinguisher is generally appropriate for combustible liquids commonly
found in an auto body shop?
A. Class A only
B. Class B
C. Class D
D. Class K
Correct Answer: B. Class B
Explanation: Class B extinguishers are intended for flammable liquids such as paint
thinner, gasoline, and solvents. Class A is for ordinary combustibles, Class D is for
combustible metals, and Class K is intended for cooking oils.
QUESTION 3.
A painter notices inadequate airflow inside the spray booth. The best course of action
is to:
A. Increase paint pressure.
B. Continue painting with a respirator.
C. Stop work until ventilation is restored.
D. Open shop doors only.
Correct Answer: C. Stop work until ventilation is restored.
Explanation: Proper booth ventilation is essential for worker safety and finish quality.
Continuing to spray exposes personnel to hazardous vapors and increases
contamination risk. The other options fail to correct the unsafe condition.
, QUESTION 4.
Which practice best minimizes trip hazards in a collision repair facility?
A. Store hoses beneath vehicles.
B. Route air hoses overhead or secure them.
C. Leave extension cords across walkways.
D. Coil hoses near exits.
Correct Answer: B. Route air hoses overhead or secure them.
Explanation: Proper hose management reduces slips and trips while improving shop
organization. The remaining choices create unnecessary hazards and violate good
housekeeping practices.
QUESTION 5.
When sanding fiberglass components, the technician should primarily wear:
A. Cotton gloves only.
B. Safety glasses only.
C. Respiratory protection appropriate for airborne dust.
D. Hearing protection only.
Correct Answer: C. Respiratory protection appropriate for airborne dust.
Explanation: Fiberglass dust can irritate the respiratory system and skin. Proper
respiratory protection, along with eye and skin protection, is essential. The other
options provide incomplete protection.
