FDNY C14 CORRECT FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Flammable solid - ✔✔A solid, other than a blasting agent or other explosive,
whether in elemental or alloy form, that is capable of causing a fire through friction,
absorption of moisture, spontaneous chemical change, or heat retained from
manufacturing or processing, or which has an ignition temperature below 212F or which
burns so vigorously and persistently when ignited as to create a serious hazard
✔✔Examples of flammable solids - ✔✔Aluminum powder
Camphor
Magnesium
Matches
Naphthalene
Nitrocellulose
Phosphorous
Sulfur
Picric acid
✔✔Flammable vapors/fumes - ✔✔The concentration of flammable constituents in air
that exceeds 25 percent of their lower flammable limit (LFL)
✔✔LFL - ✔✔Lower flammable limit
✔✔Flash point - ✔✔the minimum temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at which a liquid
will give off sufficient vapors to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface or in
the container, but will not sustain combustion
✔✔Gas cabinet - ✔✔a fully enclosed, noncombustible enclosure used to provide an
isolated environment for compressed gas containers in storage or use, including any
doors and access ports for exchanging containers and accessing pressure-regulating
controls
, ✔✔General supervision - ✔✔supervision by the holder of any certificate of fitness who
is responsible for performing the duties set forth in the Fire Code but need not be
personally present on the premises at all times. The storage of any hazardous material
in quantities requiring a permit shall be under the general supervision of a certificate of
fitness holder
✔✔Handling - ✔✔the movement of a material in its container, the removal of the
material from its container, or any other action or process that may affect the material,
other than its storage or use
✔✔Hazardous locations classifications descriptions for Class 1 Division 2 - ✔✔Where
ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, or liquids are present within the
atmosphere under abnormal operating conditions
✔✔Hazardous materials - ✔✔Those chemicals or substances that are physical hazards
or health hazards as defined and classified in the Fire Code, whether the materials are
in usable or waste condition
✔✔Health hazard - ✔✔A classification of a chemical for which there is statistically
significant evidence that acute or chronic health effects are capable of occurring in
exposed persons. The term "health hazard" included chemicals that are toxic, highly
toxic, and corrosive
✔✔Impairment coordinator - ✔✔The person designated by the owner and responsible
for ensuring that proper notification and safety precautions are taken when a fire
protection system is out of service
✔✔Incompatible materials - ✔✔Materials that, if mixed or combined, could explode,
generate heat, gases or other byproducts, or react in a way hazardous to life or property
✔✔Instructional laboratory unit - ✔✔A laboratory unit that is used for purposes of
instruction for students beyond the twelfth grade. Laboratory units used for graduate or
postgraduate research are not considered to be instructional laboratory units.
✔✔Instructor - ✔✔A person whose job includes teaching or instructing students in
educational or instructional laboratories. This can include science teachers, professors,
assistant professors, associate professors, lecturers, substitute teachers, and teaching
assistants
✔✔Laboratory chemical - ✔✔A material with a health, flammability and/or instability
(reactivity) hazard ranking of 2, 3, or 4 as defined in NFPA 704
✔✔Laboratory unit - ✔✔An enclosed space of a minimum one-hour fire rated
construction, designed or used as a non-production laboratory. Laboratory units may
