FDNY G-46 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS | EXPERT VERIFIED | SURE TO
PASS
1. Handling - ANSWER ✔ The movement of a material in its
container, the removal of the material from its container, or any
other action or process that may affect the material, other than its
storage or use.
2. General Requirements of Compressed Gas - Container Protection -
ANSWER ✔ Compressed Gas Containers are allowed to be stored
or used in direct sun except in locations where extreme
temperatures prevail. Containers shall be protected from direct
contact with soil or unimproved surfaces to prevent bottom
corrosion. Surface of the area upon which the container is placed
shall be graded to prevent accumulation of water. Use overhead
covers in extreme weather.
3. Regular Inspection of Compressed Gas Containers, connections,
and appliances - ANSWER ✔ Items for quick visual check:
- No extreme denting, gouging, or corrosion, on the
compressed gas container
- The container protective cap/collar and the foot ring are
intact and are firmly attached where applicable
-The container is painted or coated to minimize corrosion.
, -No damage is visible in the pressure relief valve or obstruction to
discharge
-There is no leakage from the compressed gas container
-The container is installed on a firm foundation and is not in
contact with the soil
4. General Requirements of Compressed Gas - Separation of
Hazardous Materials - Incompatible Materials - ANSWER ✔
Compressed gas containers shall be separated from each other
based on the hazard class of their contents. To do so: segregate
incompatible materials in storage by a distance of not less than 20
feet OR isolate incompatible materials in storage by a
noncombustible partition extending not less than 18 inches above
and to the sides of the stored material OR store compressed gases
in gas cabinets or exhausted enclosures according to fire code.
Incompatible materials shall not be stored in the same cabinet or
enclosure.
5. General Requirements of Compressed Gas - Separation of
Hazardous Materials - Combustible Waste & Vegetation -
ANSWER ✔ Do not store compressed gas containers near
flammable or combustible substances such as oil, gasoline or
waste. Combustible waste and vegetation shall be kept a minimum
of 10 feet from compressed gas containers and systems.
6. General Requirements of Compressed Gas - Separation of
Hazardous Materials - Ledges, platforms, elevators - ANSWER ✔
, Compressed gas containers shall not be placed near elevators,
unprotected platform ledges or other areas where the container
could drop a distance exceeding one-half the height of the
container.
7. General Requirements of Compressed Gas - Separation of
Hazardous Materials - Heating and temperature extremes -
ANSWER ✔ Compressed gas containers shall not be heated by
devices that could raise the surface temperature of the container to
above 125 degrees.
8. Empty Containers and Return - ANSWER ✔ Before removing
empty compressed gas containers from service, close the valve and
ensure that the plugs and the protective caps, if used, are replaced.
Empty containers should be labeled with the word Empty or MT
9. Required Signs - ANSWER ✔ Compressed gas containers storage
areas should be prominently posted with the names of the gases to
be stored. Where gases of different types are stored at the same
location, compressed gas containers should grouped by types of
gas, and the groups arranged to take into account the types of gases
stored, e.g. flammable gases must not be stored near oxidizing
gases.
Hazard identification signs should be placed at entrances to
locations where containers are stored and individual containers,
