1. Name 3 areas in a healthcare facility that could be a place for ideal
growth of Legionella - ANSWER 🗸 evaporative condensers,
spas/whirlpools, misters/spray nozzels
2. What are four major color codes for safety? - ANSWER 🗸 Red -
danger/immediate risk; Orange - risk for danger but not immediate;
yellow - caution; biological hazard - orange red or florescent
orange.
3. What is the meaning of building related illness? - ANSWER 🗸 a
clinically diagnosable disease or condition (as Legionnaires'
disease or an allergic reaction) caused by a microorganism or
substance demonstrably present in a building —abbreviation BRI
4. What is the meaning of sick building syndrome? - ANSWER 🗸 a
set of symptoms (as headache, fatigue, eye irritation, and breathing
difficulties) that typically affect workers in modern airtight office
, buildings, that are believed to be caused by indoor pollutants (as
formaldehyde fumes, particulate matter, or microorganisms), and
that tend to disappear when affected individuals leave the building
—abbreviation SBS
5. List 5 measures that can help to prevent healthcare slip, trip, and
fall events - ANSWER 🗸 Good Housekeeping, keeping floors
clean/dry, proper cleaning procedures on floors, wearing slip
resistant shoes, prevent entry into wet areas.

6. What is an OSHA defined Permit Required Confined Space? -
ANSWER 🗸 a confined space that has one or more of the
following characteristics: contains or has the potential to contain a
hazardous atmosphere; contains material that has the potential to
engulf an entrant; has walls that converge inward or floors that
slope downward and taper into a smaller area which could trap or
asphyxiate an entrant; or contains any other recognized safety or
health hazard, such as unguarded machinery, exposed live wires, or
heat stress. (https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/confinedspaces/)
7. List 4 agencies that publish ventilation-related standards -
ANSWER 🗸 1 - The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating
and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). 2 - Air Movement
and Control Association (AMCA) 3 - American National
Standards Institute (ANSI), 4-the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)
,8. Define food related cross contamination - ANSWER 🗸 Cross
contamination can occur through indirect spread of bacteria, virus,
toxins, and Parasites from raw food to ready-to-eat food by
equipment, food handlers, cook utensils, Or surfaces (e.g.,
refrigerator handles, knives, or preparation areas).
• Germs can be spread by hands, cutting boards, utensils,
counter tops, and food
9. What color should warn against a tripping hazard? - ANSWER 🗸
yellow
10. List 3 safety & health hazards r/t healthcare laser usage -
ANSWER 🗸 flammability, electrical, explosion (& radiation). Can
cause eye injury, thermal injury, or tissue injury.
11. What agency requires the briefing of workers about radiation
reproductive hazards? - ANSWER 🗸 OSHA
12. Define Curie - ANSWER 🗸 a unit of radioactivity,
corresponding to 3.7 × 1010 disintegrations per second. The
quantity of radioactive substance that emits one curie of activity.
13. Define RAD - ANSWER 🗸 A unit of energy absorbed from
ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joule per
kilogram of irradiated material.
, 14. Define Rem - ANSWER 🗸 a unit of effective absorbed dose
of ionizing radiation in human tissue, equivalent to one roentgen of
X-rays.
15. Define Alpha particles - ANSWER 🗸 a helium nucleus
emitted by some radioactive substances, originally regarded as a
ray.
16. Define beta particles - ANSWER 🗸 a fast-moving electron
emitted by radioactive decay of substances. (The emission of beta
particles was originally regarded as a ray.).
17. Define gamma rays - ANSWER 🗸 penetrating
electromagnetic radiation of a kind arising from the radioactive
decay of atomic nuclei.
18. What are the 3 best controls against exposure to external
radiation hazards? - ANSWER 🗸 time, distance, shielding
19. List & define 4 types of ionizing radiation found in
healthcare - ANSWER 🗸 alpha, beta, gamma, xrays
20. Risk control begins with: - ANSWER 🗸 1. Identifying
potential losses 2. Evaluating potential losses 3. Examining
alternative risk management techniques 4. Implementing the risk
management program 5. Controlling/monitoring the program;
