PRACTICE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Accident investigation. Answer: The determination of fats of an
accident by inquiry, observation and examination
● Acute exposure. Answer: A single exposure or exposure over a short
time
● Acute Toxic Effects (accute Toxicity). Answer: Effects that take place
after a single exposure or after a short series of exposures within 24hrs
● America Conference of Government industrial Hygienist (ACGIH).
Answer: International association of occupational hygienists that
develops many guidelines of the practice of occupational hygiene. One
of the most important of theses guidelines is Threshold Limit Values and
Biological Exposure Indices. This publication serves as the basis for
occupational exposure limits in many jurisdictions around the world.
● Audit. Answer: An evaluation of a health and safety program
measuring its effectiveness and efficiency against given standards. it
helps enable the company to improve its health and safety program.
● Auditor. Answer: An individual who has the qualification and skill set
to measure health and safety performance against a given standard
,● Certification of Recognition (COR). Answer: An accreditation given
to an employer's health and safety management system that has been
evaluated by a certified auditor.
● Chronic Exposure. Answer: An exposure to a low concentration of
substance over extended period of time
● Chronic Toxic Effects ( Chronic Toxicity). Answer: The effects that

mixture that results from a chemical modification process.

● Cumulative Toxic Effects. Answer: Effects that usually occur after
long term exposure to a substance. Individual exposures occur many
times and the effects accumulate. Even very small individual exposures
may result in a toxic effect.
● Decomposition. Answer: The breakdown of a material into two or
more different materials.
● Documentation, Observations and Interviews (DOI). Answer: These
are the techniques used to verify the effectiveness of a health and safety
program (also referred to as verification techniques)
