CHSP 2 - Questions With Trusted Solutions (Rated A+)
4 agencies that publish ventilation-related standards agencies Right Ans -
OSHA, ANSI, ASHRAE, NFPA.
Radiation reproductive hazards briefing agency Right Ans - Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Curie Right Ans - Measure of the radioactivity of a substance.
RAD Right Ans - (radiation absorbed dose) is a measure of absorbed dose
of ionizing radiation.
REM Right Ans - (roentgen equivalent man) dosage of radiation that causes
biological injury.
Alpha Particles Right Ans - These particles consist of two neutrons and two
protons and do not penetrate the skin and can be shielded by a thin layer of
paper or clothing. Generally will not cause any skin damage
Beta Particles Right Ans - These particles can travel a few centimeters into
tissue and are moderately penetrating traveling meters in the air. External
and internal exposure is potentially hazardous.
Gamma Rays/X-Rays Right Ans - Can penetrate human tissue and require
dense materials for shielding. Radioactive materials that emit gamma
radiation constitute both an external and internal hazard to humans. Gamma
radiation frequently accompanies the emission of alpha and beta radiation.X-
rays are lower in energy than gamma rays therefore less penetrating.(X-rays
are emitted from outside the nucleus and Gamma rays originate inside the
nucleus).
3 Controls against ionizing radiation exposure Right Ans - Time, Distance,
Shielding.
Maximum temperature range for coolers/refrigerators Right Ans - 36-46
Degrees F (2-8 Degrees C)
, Minimum holding temperature for food on a hot serving line Right Ans -
140 Degrees F.
5 Healthcare occupational hazard categories Right Ans - 1. Biological,
2. Chemical,
3. Ergonomic and environmental,
4. Physical (radiation, noise, machine),
5. Psychosocial hazards (substance abuse, work stress and violence).
What entity published the four major color codes used for safety warnings?
Right Ans - American National Standards Institute
Three major components of a basic safety system Right Ans - a.
Engineering (science)
b. Management (leadership)
c. Psychological (human factors)
What federal agency regulates pesticides? Right Ans - Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
What cabinet level agency oversees NIOSH? Right Ans - Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services
What federal law provides authority for regulating waste disposal? Right
Ans - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA
What agency regulates chemotherapeutic waste materials? Right Ans -
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
What two agencies did the OSH Act of 1970 create? Right Ans - OSHA and
NIOSH
What agency enforces provisions of SMDA? Right Ans - FDA Food and Drug
Administration
What agency regulates worker exposures to X-rays? Right Ans - OSHA
