CDCR MAJOR 3 COMPREHENSIVE ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Identify the characteristics of a pyrotechnic grenade - ✔✔Chemical agent, in a solid
state, are always dispersed using a pyrotechnic device. They are tipically 40% agent
and 60% fuel.
✔✔Identify the characteristics of a blast Grenade - ✔✔Micro - pulverized agents (CS
and OC) are normally dispersed by a blast type device. An explosive blast spreads the
agent over an area. This method is very effective for clearing groups of inmates in the
immediate area.
✔✔Identify why inmates, once exposed to oleoresin capsicum and placed in restraints,
are not to be left on their stomachs. - ✔✔• OC restricts the airway due to inflammation
of the trachea, making it difficult for an individual to breath.
• Once inmates are exposed to OC and placed in restraints, there is
Danger of positional asphyxia if inmate are left on their stomachs for extended time
period.
• Never allow inmates to roll onto their stomachs.
✔✔Identify 3 types of contamination that occur when chemical agents are used. - ✔✔•
direct physical contamination
• indirect contamination
• area contamination
✔✔Direct physical contamination - ✔✔This type of contamination is described as direct
physical contact with the chemical agent used.
✔✔Indirect contamination - ✔✔This type is described as an indirect contact with the
chemical agent used. An indirect contamination is the result of physically touching
another person or an item which has just been contaminated.
, ✔✔Area contamination - ✔✔This type is described as an area contaminated with the
chemical used. An example of area contamination is entering an inside or outside area
that has just been contaminated by a
Chemical agent.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. - head harness - ✔✔The ajustable
straps that go over your head. There are 6 adjustable straps.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. Filter/canister - ✔✔Removes agents
from the air as you inhale.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. Inhalation port - ✔✔Allows the filter
to attach to the face piece. There are 2 intake valves ( one on each side of the face
piece) which will allow the filter to be attached on either side.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. Exhalation port. - ✔✔Allows you to
exhale.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. Voice box - ✔✔Allows for vocal
communication.
✔✔You will identify the parts of a protective mask. Lens/face piece - ✔✔Allows you to
see.
✔✔Identify the first step in any decontamination process of an individual. - ✔✔The first
step in any decontamination process is to remove the
Individual from contaminated area to an open wind area.
✔✔Identify basic procedures for an area decontamination after the use of chemical
agents. - ✔✔• Remove and ventilate : pick up and remove any spent chemical agents
casing and ventilate the building by opening windows or activating fans.
• Protect other areas: ensure ventilation system is off to avoid spreading agent to other
areas.
• Clean area: with OC, clean area with copious amount of water. For CS and CN,
ventilate the area.
✔✔Identify the basic correctional awareness rules. Security - ✔✔• Windows, gates
doors. Check:
- cut bars
- loose manhole covers
- locks that appear to have been tampered with.
✔✔Identify the basic correctional awareness rules. Awareness - ✔✔• observant of your
area
• knowledgeable of rules and policies
