Test PPE UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
What happens when you use the wrong PPE? - CORRECT ANSWER - Specification of
wrong PPE may result in higher exposure than use of no PPE
A primary influence on the design and performance of PPE is what? - CORRECT
ANSWER - -conformance with the requirements of the certification tests
What is part 1 of the PPE limitations? - CORRECT ANSWER - -Must match PPE to the
hazard
-Actual performance is always less than that claimed by
manufacturer or indicated by testing
What is part 2 of the PPE limitations? - CORRECT ANSWER - Training in proper use of
PPE is required to achieve maximum possible protection
• PPE designed to pass certification test
Respiratory Protective Equipment
How do youProtect the respiratory system from inhalation of airborne contaminants? -
CORRECT ANSWER - -removing contaminants from the air before they are inhaled
• Supplying an independent source of "clean" air
Air Purifying Respirator
What is an Air Purifying Respirator? - CORRECT ANSWER - Air-purifying elements
appropriate to contaminant (filter or adsorbent)
How does the air purifying operate? - CORRECT ANSWER - Operates under negative
pressure (seal/leaks)
, What does the air purfying determine? - CORRECT ANSWER - • Determination of
service life
What is the Powered aire-purfying respirator? - CORRECT ANSWER - Air-purifying
elements appropriate to contaminant (filter or adsorbent)
How does thePowered Air-Purifying Respirator operate? - CORRECT ANSWER -•
Operates under positive pressure (seal/leaks)
What the powered air- purifying determinate? - CORRECT ANSWER - • Determination
of service life (and associated limitations)
• Cannot be used in IDLH environments
What is an self contains breath apparatus? - CORRECT ANSWER - - Flow regime
• Demand
• Pressure demand
• Continuous flow
What are the Protection Factors? - CORRECT ANSWER - • Respirator performance rated
by protection factor
• Determined for respirator type
What is the formula for the protection factors? - CORRECT ANSWER - PF =
[contaminantout] / [contaminantin]
What does Osha require in the respirator programs? - CORRECT ANSWER - OSHA
requires written programs defining the procedures by which respiratory protective equipment is
selected, stored, maintained, and repaired
