All restorers should follow the standard of care for the water restoration profession developed by
the restoration industry entitled the IICRC .
CORRECT ANSWER>> s500
to help protect technicians from the many hazards associated with contaminated water losses
restorers need to have ready access to several items. these items protect for all
to the body.
CORRECT ANSWER>> potential exposures
respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide CORRECT ANSWER>>
1. medical evaluations
2. fit testing
3. training
the contract clearly states the agreement between the building owner and the restoration
contractor. the form specifies who is responsible for payment and should be signed work
CORRECT ANSWER>>
begins
before
the technicians first responsibility when arriving at a water damage site is to identify communicate
and eliminate if reasonably possible
CORRECT ANSWER>> safety hazards
federal regulations apply to handling or disturbing of based paint and asbestos
CORRECT ANSWER>> lead
,After safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has been stopped, the
restorer must complete an evaluation of the water's migration through the structure. During this
process, the restorer inspects all areas.
CORRECT ANSWER>> potentially affected
the ultimate goal is to find the edge of water migration which moves in a three dimensional path
throughout the structure. this is accomplished across carpeted surfaces using a and across
most hard surfaces using a (non-penetrating) moisture meter.
CORRECT ANSWER>> moisture sensor , non-invasive
water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness or discomfort is said to be
CORRECT ANSWER>> category 1
water that has significant degree of chemical biological and or physical contamination and potential
to cause sickness or discomfort is
CORRECT ANSWER>> category 2
cleaning procedures must be employed before the drying of a category 2 water loss can continue. at
a minimum affected must be removed and disposed of and carpet must be throughly
cleaned using a hot water extraction method.
CORRECT ANSWER>> carpet underlay
When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries (disease
causing) agents, it is said to be Category 3.
CORRECT ANSWER>> pathogenic
worker and occupant and safety are the 1st priority on every sewage loss. areas affected by
category 3 water intrusion are marked and posted as potentially hazardous.
CORRECT ANSWER>> health
Various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on Category 3 water losses,
including the removal of all materials affected by the water intrusion.
CORRECT ANSWER>> highly porous
, when resistance is encountered and performing proper services in a category 3 water loss becomes
a challenge restorers immediately to prevent liability and address the conflict.
CORRECT ANSWER>> stop work
Third party experts are commonly referred to as Indoor Environmental Professionals, or .
CORRECT ANSWER>> IEP
Losses where regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure do not change the
of water.
CORRECT ANSWER>> category
pre-existing conditions should be identified documented and communicated to all
parties during the initial inspection.
CORRECT ANSWER>> materially interested
when carpet delimitation (the loss of integrity in the adhesives used to laminate the and
backings) has occurred, further damage is very likely. for this reason when extensive carpet
delimitation is discovered technicians must call it to the attention go all materially interested parties
, document the condition and suggest replacement.
CORRECT ANSWER>> primary and secondary
there are number of causes for carpet delimitation - many of them relates to restoration
activities
CORRECT ANSWER>> improper
Many building materials will absorb excess water vapor and suffer damage, especially when air is
allowed to remain above % relative humidity.
CORRECT ANSWER>> 60%
Hygroscopic materials gain and lose moisture continually in an effort to with the water
content in the surrounding air mass. The more hygroscopic the material, the faster it will collect
water vapor, and the easier it will suffer damage.
