NFPA 472 HAZMAT AWARENESS EXAM I-1
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
When dealing with a radiological incident involving a leak or spill, what exposure
guidelines should the hazmat first responder use to minimize radioactive
contamination?
- Time, distance, half-life
- Ionizing radiation, non-iodizing radiation, half-life
- Time, distance, shielding
- Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays - Answer -Time, distance, shielding
The steps that are taken to preserve the health and safety of emergency responders
and the public during an incident involving releases of hazardous materials are called:
- protective actions
- isolating the hazard area and denying entry
- evacuation procedures
- protect in place procedures - Answer -protective actions
The most important part of assessment is:
- calling for the appropriate help to mitigate the incident
- recognizing the presence of hazardous materials
- determining the appropriate actions to be taken recommended by the Emergency
Response Guidebook (ERG)
- securing the area of the emergency - Answer -recognizing the presence of hazardous
materials
A major difference between a hazardous materials incident and other types of
emergencies is the fact that hazmat incidents:
- can be more complex
- occur less frequently
- occur more frequently
- occur in specific locations - Answer -can be more complex

hazard recognition by:
- using the numbers 0-4 to indicate relative risk
- always indicating the product name
- giving the UN hazard class number
- the shape of the placard - Answer -giving the UN hazard class number
The normal location for the bill of lading is in the:
