HAZWOPER TEST
HAZWOPER Objective - answer is to presents concepts and principles help reduce the
potential for injury and exposure to hazardous chemicals during all phases of cleanup
operations at hazardous waste sites
OSHA HAZWOPER Objective - answerno employee should have to sacrifice any
portion of his or her health to earn a living

Heat Exhaustion Symptoms - answerPale, moist skin, profuse sweating, normal body
temperature, weka or rapid heart beat, subdued behavior, not usually unconscious
Heat Stroke Symptoms - answerRed/flushed, hot or dry skin, no sweating, extremely
high body temperature, strong or rapid heart beat, behavior may be erratic at onset,
usually unconscious
Heat Index - answerAcross top (temp) locate the day's predicted high temp
Down left side (relative humidity) locate the day's predicted humidity
Follow across and down to find likelihood of heat disorder
, First Aid - Heat Exhaustion - answerMove victim to shade, place on back with foot
slightly elevated, loosen or remove clothing, cool victim by fanning or with cold packs in
armpits, neck, groin, treat for shock, offer cool water - 4 ounce every 15 mins
First Aid - Heat Stroke - answerMove victim to shade, place on back with foot slightly
elevated, loosen or remove clothing, cool victim by fanning or with cold packs in
armpits, neck, groin, treat for shock, offer cool water - 4 ounce every 15 mins
Site-Specific HASPs - answer- Fully evaluate the site and each phase of site operations
prior to site entry
- Identify key personnel and chain of command
- Utilize conservative PPE until site fully defined
- Health and safety plans (HASP) must be kept on site
- Primary function are to: identify responsible personnel, provides baseline PPE
requirements and action levels for site work
Essential Components - Key personnel & Hazard Communication Plan - answer- The
HASP should include names of key personnel: Project manager, field operations leader,
site supervisor, and site health and safety officer
- The HASP should identify communication procedures and provide for briefing to be
held before site activity in initiated
Health and Safety Risks Analysis - answerThe site safety and health plan, which must
be kept on site, shall address: the safety and health hazards of each phase of site
operations and include the requirements and procedures for employee protection
Identifying Site Hazards - Chemical - answer4 main exposure routes: inhalation,
absorption, ingestion, injection
Soil, GW, air contamination, VOCs in groundwater, appropriate PPE for chemicals
present
Identifying Site Hazards - Physical - answerConfined spaces, buried drums, heat/cold
stress, drilling, excavation/trenches
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - Who? - answerTransocean, the owner of the Deepwater
Horizon, was responsible for conducting safe operations and for protecting personnel on
board. Halliburton, as a contractor of BP, was responsible for conducting the cement
job, and through its subsidiary, had certain responsibilities for monitoring the well.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - What? - answerExplosion of oil and gas that killed 11 crew
members and set off the worst oil spill in U.S. history
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - Why? - answerResulted from the failure of several safety
systems which were set in place to prevent such a disaster
