◉ What single celled parasitic organisms that can cause occupational
illnesses? Answer: Protozoa are single celled organism and many are
parasitic
Bacteria are single celled but not parasitic
Viruses do not have all the components of a cell
◉ Which chemical when stored would cause an increase in facility risk
when stored in an area with wet pipe automatic sprinkler system?
Answer: Calcium Carbide-with moisture creates corrosive calcium
hydroxide and liberates acetylene (ethylene). If inhaled; acetylene
(ethylene) can cause depression and can ignite.
◉ How long does GFCI typically take to open the circuit and interrupt
the current flow when it detects current leakage to ground in a circuit?
Answer: 2-3 hundredths of a second (.02-.03 seconds)
,◉ What is typical sign of heat syncope? Answer: Fainting-syncope is
synonymous with partial or full loss of consciousness.
◉ When a volcano erupts nearby, what hazard can engulf an entire town
with little warning? Answer: Pyroclastic flow-the hot ashes and gas that
flow down the side of a volcano at very high speeds.
◉ Predictive analytical method designated by the acronym THERP?
Answer: Human error-THERP stands for technique for human error rate
prediction. It is a quantitive method for estimating the probability of
human error occurring during a process or sequence of steps
◉ When should an octave bans analyzer be used? Answer: To determine
where the noise energy lies in the frequency spectrum.
Octave band analyzers used to understand noise energy across a broad
spectrum of frequencies.
◉ What is basic operating principle of a portable combustible gas
meter? Answer: The measured change in electrical resistance from
heating due to combustion of the sample gas across the Wheatstone
bridge.
◉ What is a form of nonionizing radiation? Answer: Ultraviolet
radiation is nonionizing.
,Alpha; x-ray and gamma are ionizing.
◉ Which type of dry chemical is most suitable for extinguishing fires
fueled by ordinary combustibles such as paper and cardboard? Answer:
Ammonium phosphate
◉ Which type of sprinkler system is designed primarily to protect
properties when there is danger of serious water damage, resulting from
damaged automatic sprinklers or broken sprinkler piping? Answer:
Preaction system-typically found in environments with lots of computers
and museums where discharges of water are major concern.
◉ The best protection for employees operating power presses? Answer:
The fixed enclosure guard-it is in place all the time.
◉ Why should a hood guard be used on the abrasive wheel of a floor
stand grinder? Answer: To contain the fragments of a broken abrasive
wheel.
◉ What hazard does compressed oxygen (medical grade) present when
assessing the fire risk in hospital rooms? Answer: Compressed oxygen
can cause a fire to burn much more intensely.
, ◉ What general class of hydrocarbon is the less flammable material
acetylene (also called ethyne) catalogued? Answer: Alkyne-acetylene is
a triple carbon-carbon bond hydrocarbon.
◉ What is a type of workplace violence? Answer: Armed robbery
◉ The possibility of a welder being engulfed by grain while inside a
grain hopper is a hazard that should be considered as part of ______
Answer: Hazardous energy control program
◉ How are future injuries and property damage caused by unsafe
employee actions best reduced? Answer: Systematically reinforcing
positive employee actions and behavior
◉ What is most significant when evaluating equipment maintenance
operating procedures? Answer: Ensuring that machine energy is zero
and will remain so during maintenance
◉ Before maintaining electrically powered equipment, an employee
opens the electrical circuit powering the equipment and places his
personal lock on the circuit to ensure that the circuit remains open while
he is performing maintenance on the equipment serviced by that
electrical circuit-what type of control does this describe? Answer:
Locking out a circuit is an administrative control (a procedure) since it
requires a person to perform the action each time.
