VMO EXAM STUDY GUIDE PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ Two procedures that make airbag systems less likely to deploy during
rescue operations are: Answer: Shut off ignition switch and disconnect
electrical power to the vehicle as soon as possible
⩥ When confronted with fuel leak or spill: Answer: rescuers should
identify the source, position multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher
as a quick way to establish a basic level of standby fire suppression
⩥ Weather time of day and location is all the command needs to
consider our initial size up while responding to the accident scene:
Answer: True
⩥ According to OSHA, on the older model air chisels the coil spring
"beehive" style retainer system Answer: Does not meet current safety
requirements
⩥ For maximum efficiency with a curved blade cutter rescuer should
position the blades of the tool: Answer: Completely around the object
being cut
,⩥ A reciprocating saw with an adjustable shoe that telescopes in and out
is the most efficient model for vehicle rescue applications because:
Answer: It allows the rescuer to use each saw blade more efficiently
⩥ When it is most effective the process by which rescuers gain initial
access to the patient takes no more: Answer: Then 60 seconds
⩥ Incidents involving machinery extrication may include: Answer:
Metal cutting and forming equipment, farm machinery and construction
equipment, lifting, moving, transfer equipment
⩥ Hydraulic machinery systems can be driven by: Answer: Electric
motors, gasoline engines, Diesel engines
⩥ Machinery stabilization can be accomplished by: Answer: Cribbing,
shutting off fuel/gas, electric shut off (lockout-tag-out)
⩥ Most electrocution in electrical injuries in a agricultural-rural setting
are due to direct contact or proximity arcing from overhead powerlines:
Answer: True
⩥ During the termination stage: Answer: Rescue personnel service the
vehicles and place tools and equipment back on the vehicles
, ⩥ Vehicle extrication/rescue operations may expose rescuers to the
following hazards: Answer: Airbag systems and energy absorbing
bumper systems
⩥ A common bond in the death of responders working in or near moving
traffic is: Answer: Traffic was not effectively controlled
⩥ This of the following is an acceptable technique to limit bystanders
from viewing the scene: Answer: Emergency personnel standing side-
by-side
⩥ Statistics show that the crash of an emergency vehicle responding to
or returning from a scene is most likely to occur on: Answer: Typically
level dry intersections with either stop signs or yield signs posted or
operating traffic light
⩥ The incident command system should be used at all incidents
regardless of their size or complexity Answer: True
⩥ Blocking is defined as: Answer: Keeping approaching traffic from
entering the scene
⩥ Softwood is acceptable for cribbing blocks if it is used properly and
not overloaded: Answer: True
