Ethics-Highest standards set for a profession
BCSP Code of Ethics-HBIUACAS CORRECT ANSWER 1.) HOLD paramount the safety and health of people, the protection of the environment and protection of
property in the performance of professional duties. 2.) BE honest, fair, and impartial; act with responsibility and integrity

Machine Guarding-3 Main Parts CORRECT ANSWER 1.) Point of operation-
work is performed on materials (Most Dangerous)
2.)Power transmission drive-all components that transmit energy
3.)Operating Controls
Machine Hazard Analysis CORRECT ANSWER Consider relationship between work, the environment, the tools & the task at hand. Lockout/Tagout-Hazardous Energy Controls Program CORRECT ANSWER A formal procedure for taking equipment out of service and ensuring that it cannot be
operated until a qualified person has removed the lockout or tagout device (such as
a lock or warning tag).
Machine Protection Methods CORRECT ANSWER -stopping machine
-restraining/withdrawing operators hand
-requiring both hands on machine to operate
-providing synchronized barrier.
photoelectric sensing safeguard CORRECT ANSWER light source, electric eye or curtain that stops machine when the light field is broke.
Radiofrequency safeguard CORRECT ANSWER radio beam, if broken will stop machine
Electromechanical Sensing safeguard CORRECT ANSWER probe or contact bar which descends to the present distance and when obstructed shuts down machine.
Sound & Noise Measurements CORRECT ANSWER A-A sound level meter weighting that makes its readings conform to a notional human hearing response. It
is defined in various international standards such as the IEC 61672, as well as in various national standards such as ANSI S1.4.
C- looks more at the effect of low-frequency sounds on the human ear compared with the A-weighting and is essentially flat or linear between 31.5Hz and 8kHz, the
two - 3dB or 'half power' points. Z- flat frequency response of 8Hz to 20kHz (+/- 1.5dB), this is the actual noise that
is made with no weighting at all for the human ear (Z for zero). Often used in octave band analysis and for determining environmental noise.
Wave length CORRECT ANSWER Distance traveled by a sound wave during a sound cycle. Measure in meters or feet.
Frequency CORRECT ANSWER measure the number of vibrations per second.
Measured in hertz (HZ) where one HZ equals one cycle per second.
decibles CORRECT ANSWER a measure of how loud a sound is (its intensity)
Sound Health Effects CORRECT ANSWER -Noise induced threshold shifts.
-Acoustic trauma -Tinnitus
Sound modification CORRECT ANSWER Process by which acoustic waves are received by outer ear & are directed to the eardrum. Process change
Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) CORRECT ANSWER Exposure limit; generally a time-weighted average; developed by NIOSH.
85 decibels at 8 hour average-World Wide Standard
90 decibels at 8 hours average-OSHA standard
