Question 1

Which of the following is not a fire detection device?&#10;A)heat detector&#10;B)sprinkler activation detector&#10;C)smoke damper detector&#10;D)smoke detector

Accepted Answer

Smoke damper detectors are used to control the flow of smoke and fire by activating dampers, but they do not detect the presence of fire or smoke. Heat detectors, sprinkler activation detectors, and smoke detectors are all fire detection devices.

Question 2

Guest-use water temperatures should be set no higher than __________ at the source.&#10;A)100&#176; F (38&#176; C)&#10;B)120&#176; F (49&#176; C)&#10;C)160&#176; F (71&#176; C)&#10;D)200&#176; F (93&#176; C)

Accepted Answer

The correct temperature for guest-use water at the source should be no higher than 120° F (49° C) to prevent scalding and ensure safety.

Question 3

Key to the success of a risk management program is:&#10;A)a computerized safety management system (CSMS).&#10;B)a centralized fire control system.&#10;C)a dedicated, in-house safety and security department.&#10;D)support and involvement of top management.

Accepted Answer

The support and involvement of top management is crucial for the success of a risk management program. This ensures that the program receives adequate resources and attention, and that the organization as a whole is committed to creating a culture of safety and risk awareness. While the other options may be useful components of a risk management program, they are not as critical to its success as leadership support.

Question 4

Which of the following statements about safety concerns in the guest bath is false?&#10;A)Appropriate cleaning chemicals have no effect on the slip resistance rating of a bathroom tub and shower.&#10;B)To help prevent scalding, bath and shower valves should be used that provide pressure and temperature a compensation.&#10;C)Glass shower stall doors should be made of tempered glass.&#10;D)Ground fault protection on all electrical outlets in the bathroom can reduce injury due to electrical shocks.

Accepted Answer

Appropriate cleaning chemicals can affect the slip resistance rating of a bathroom tub and shower. It is important to use cleaning products specifically designed for bathroom surfaces to maintain slip resistance.

Question 5

Near the end of a long dinner shift that Henri spent mostly at the grille, a fire erupted in the grille's grease trap and threatened to spread.Henri knew that a grease fire needed special handling and his emergency training told him he must act fast.The hotel had installed new fire extinguishers only two months ago, and a new type designed especially for grease and oil fires was added in the kitchen.Though several fire extinguishers were available to Henri, only one would effectively extinguish this fire and keep it extinguished.Which one must he choose?

A)Type A
B)Type C
C)Type D
D)Type K

Accepted Answer

The best choice would be type K fire extinguisher as it is specifically designed for fires involving cooking oils and grease in commercial kitchens. Type A is meant for ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth. Type C is meant for electrical fires. Type D is for metal fires. Therefore, the only viable option here is type K.

Question 6

Alarm-sounding devices that trigger when smoke particles either scatter or obscure light are called:&#10;A)single-station smoke detectors.&#10;B)ionization smoke detectors.&#10;C)photoelectric smoke detectors.&#10;D)smoke dampers.

Accepted Answer

Photoelectric smoke detectors trigger an alarm when smoke particles scatter or obscure light. Single-station smoke detectors are a general term for any smoke detector intended for use in a single location, while ionization smoke detectors operate by detecting smoke particles through ionization. Smoke dampers are mechanical devices used to prevent smoke from spreading through a building's HVAC system.

Question 7

Fire safety at a hospitality property is:&#10;A)best left to professional firefighters.&#10;B)the responsibility of everyone at the property.&#10;C)solely the responsibility of the maintenance department.&#10;D)solely the responsibility of the property's top management.

Accepted Answer

Fire safety at a hospitality property is the responsibility of everyone at the property, including employees and guests. It is important for all individuals to be aware of fire hazards, evacuation procedures, and proper use of fire extinguishers. While professional firefighters may be called upon in the event of a fire, prevention and education are crucial in ensuring the safety of all occupants.

Question 8

Which of the following statements about electronic lock systems is false?&#10;A)The central computer for an electronic locking system maintains records of keys issued.&#10;B)Locks are essentially &#34;rotated&#34; automatically for each new room occupant.&#10;C)The keys used in electronic locks cost much more than the keys used for mechanical locks.&#10;D)Electronic locks have greatly improved guestroom security.

Accepted Answer

Electronic keys do not necessarily cost more than mechanical keys. In fact, some electronic keys can be cheaper than traditional keys.

Question 9

Which of the following statements about key control is false?&#10;A)The room number should be clearly printed on the key that opens the door to a guestroom.&#10;B)Mechanical locks should be replaced when a number of keys are missing.&#10;C)Housekeepers should keep keys on their person, not on their carts.&#10;D)Keys needed by employees during a work shift should be signed out at the start of the shift and returned at the end.

Accepted Answer

The room number should not be clearly printed on the key as it can pose a security risk if the key falls into the wrong hands. Instead, the key should have a code or number that can be used to identify the room it opens, but the room number should not be explicitly mentioned on the key.

Question 10

Which of the following statements about fire suppression systems is true?&#10;A)Sprinkler systems for low-rise buildings need supplemental pumps to increase water pressure from the local water supply.&#10;B)When the kitchen fire suppression system is activated, it should also interrupt the supply of fuel to kitchen equipment.&#10;C)A water fire extinguisher is the most effective type of portable extinguisher to combat electrical fires..&#10;D)Dry chemical agents used in kitchen hood systems simplify cleanup tasks and minimize corrosion of kitchen equipment.

Accepted Answer

When the kitchen fire suppression system is activated, it should also interrupt the supply of fuel to kitchen equipment, such as gas or electricity, to prevent the fire from reigniting. A is incorrect because low-rise buildings typically do not require additional pumps for water pressure. C is incorrect because water should not be used on electrical fires, as it can conduct electricity and cause electrocution. D is incorrect because dry chemical agents can be difficult to clean up and may cause corrosion on kitchen equipment if left on for too long.
