COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

✔✔Examples of such chemical hazards would be: - ✔✔Asbestos
Lead
Radiation
✔✔Abestos: - ✔✔Asbestos contains fibers that are very strong and resistant to heat
and chemicals. Asbestos is often used to insulate vessels and piping. Asbestos is used
in siding, shingles and floor tiles. Under normal conditions, these fibers do not pose a
health hazard but they do become hazardous if something happens to cause these
fibers to be released into the air. When released in the air these fibers can cause lung
cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or a lung condition called asbestosis. You must be
properly trained and wear the proper PPE if you work where there are dangerous
concentrations of asbestos.
✔✔Lead: - ✔✔Lead is commonly added to industrial paints because of its corrosive
resistance. Just like asbestos, lead does not pose a health hazard under normal
conditions. If a painted surface is burned during welding or the paint becomes airborne
through sandblasting, grinding or sanding, then the lead can become a health hazard. If
lead is ingested (oral) or inhaled (breathing) the exposure can cause health problems in
, your blood, urinary system and reproductive system. You must be properly trained and
wear the proper PPE when lead exposure may occur.
✔✔Radiation: - ✔✔The X-raying of equipment, microwaves, and lasers are all forms of
radiation. When equipment is being used that emit radiation, it is important that you
obey all warning signs and never go through radiation barricades.
If you are doing work that may require you to work near such chemicals where exposure
could present physical harm, then you will receive special training on how to take proper
precautions against exposure.
✔✔PPE: - ✔✔Personal Protective Equipment.
✔✔LIst of PPE: - ✔✔1. Head Protection
2. Eye Protection
3. Face Protection
4. Hearing Protection
5. Body Protection
6. Foot Protection
7. Respiratory Protection
8. Fall Protection
9. Hand Protection
✔✔Head Protection - ✔✔All "hardhats" provide protection from injury caused by falling
objects. Sometimes different classes of hardhats are needed. (Electricians would use a
class of hardhat that also would help to protect them from electrical shock, for example.)
✔✔Eye Protection - ✔✔Safety glasses must be approved by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and will have a Z87.1 number stamped on the glasses.
Remember, your prescription glasses are NOT safety glasses, unless designed for this
purpose and classified as Z87.1.
✔✔Face Protection - ✔✔A face shield must be used if there is a chance that a
hazardous chemical could splash onto your face.
✔✔Hearing Protection - ✔✔Hearing protection must be worn when the noise is so loud
that it could damage your hearing. If you work in noisy areas, you must wear hearing
protection. You may need to use earplugs, earmuffs or the combination of both in
extremely noisy environments.
✔✔Body Protection - ✔✔Long-sleeve shirts and full-length pants may help to protect
you from burns and spills. Sometimes chemical resistant suits or flame retardant
clothing may be required.
