Question 1

List three alarm conditions that will stop the robot if it is running or prevent start up.

Accepted Answer

Alarms related to things such as safety sensors,E-stops,load on the motors,vision systems,and other devices that give the robot information about the world around it and what is going on with its internal systems

Question 2

What factors determine the severity of a shock?

Accepted Answer

The amount of current that passes through the body,the path the electricity takes through the body,and the duration of the shock

Question 3

What are the four general rules of handling emergencies and what is your responsibility for each? Make sure you support your answers fully.

Accepted Answer

General rule #1: Remain calm.You should make sure not to say or do anything that will make the injured person more upset or focus on the severity of the situation.General rule #2: Assess the situation.Determine what the dangers are,what the injuries are,and what needs to be done first.General rule #3: Perform to the level of your training.Perform only those tasks you are trained for and not something seen in a movie or on TV,as that could make matters worse.General rule #4: After it is over,talk it out.Often emergencies are stressful situations and those involved with helping find it beneficial to talk about what happened with someone after it is over.This is also a good time to review what was done and look for ways to improve responses.

Question 4

What is a zero-energy state?
A) When there is no active power
B) When the electrical power is turned off
C) When there is no latent power
D) Both a and c are correct

Accepted Answer

A zero-energy state refers to a condition where there is neither active nor latent power in a system, meaning the system is not consuming or storing energy in any form.

Question 5

What are the three Rs of robotics,and what do they mean?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What are the three Rs of robotics,and...

Question 6

The danger zone around the robot is ___________________.
A) the same as the work envelope for the robot
B) where OSHA requires you to have an E-stop in reach at all times
C) the area where the robot can reach
D) All of these are correct

Accepted Answer

The danger zone around a robot encompasses all these aspects: it is the same as the work envelope (the area where the robot operates), it is where safety regulations such as those from OSHA require an emergency stop to be accessible, and it includes any area the robot can reach.

Question 7

The LOTO standard _______________________________.
A) is an OSHA standard that took effect on January 2,1990
B) prevents approximately 120 fatalities per year
C) is your best protection when working on equipment
D) All of these are correct

Accepted Answer

The LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) standard is indeed an OSHA standard that became effective on January 2, 1990. It is designed to prevent accidents and fatalities by ensuring that machines are properly shut off and not started up again before the completion of maintenance or servicing work. It is considered a critical safety measure, providing significant protection for workers involved in equipment maintenance, thereby preventing approximately 120 fatalities and over 50,000 injuries each year.

Question 8

What events stop the robot when it is performing program tasks?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What events stop the robot when it...

Question 9

Sensors that house an emitter and a receiver separately to create an infrared sensing barrier are known as a _______.
A) limit switch
B) proximity switch
C) light curtain
D) pressure sensor

Accepted Answer

Light curtains are safety devices consisting of an emitter and receiver that create an infrared sensing barrier, often used around hazardous areas to stop machinery if the light barrier is broken.

Question 10

Which of the following is the most life-threatening path for electricity to take as it passes through the body?
A) Fingertip to middle of the same hand
B) From the middle of the left hand to the left foot
C) From the middle of the hand to the same shoulder
D) None of these are correct

Accepted Answer

The most life-threatening path for electricity to take as it passes through the body is from one part of the body to another that crosses the heart, as in option B (from the middle of the left hand to the left foot). This path can cause electrical current to pass through the heart, potentially leading to fatal arrhythmias or cardiac arrest.

Question 11

The safe zone around a robot is ________________.
A) the same as the work envelope
B) the area just outside of the reach of the robot
C) often where the operator works
D) the area where anyone can travel

Accepted Answer

The answer of The safe zone around a robot is...

Question 12

The cautionary zone around the robot is _____________.
A) where you are close to the robot,but out of its reach
B) safe for anyone to travel or work
C) where the operator often works
D) Both a and c are correct

Accepted Answer

The cautionary zone around a robot is an area where individuals are close to the robot but out of its direct reach, and it is often where the operator works. This zone requires caution due to the proximity to the robot's operational space.

Question 13

Tourniquets _________________.
A) should be used with all bleeding
B) are used as a last resort
C) present no danger to the patient
D) require no special training for use

Accepted Answer

Tourniquets are used as a last resort in bleeding control, after other methods such as direct pressure have failed, due to potential risks and complications associated with their use.

Question 14

The person who can remove a lock on a lockout device is ____________.
A) the person who put it in place
B) the supervisor once the work is done
C) the supervisor once he or she has spoken with the owner
D) Both a and c are correct

Accepted Answer

The person who can remove a lock on a lockout device is typically the person who put it in place or a supervisor once he or she has spoken with the owner, ensuring that the removal is done safely and with proper authorization.
