Question 1

Before using a chemical with which you are not familiar; Technician A says you should first consult the product MSDS. Technician B says one should first read the product usage bulletin. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides essential safety information about the chemical, including hazards, handling, and emergency measures, which should be reviewed before use.

Question 2

PEL stands for Permissible ____________________ Limits

Accepted Answer

Exposure

Question 3

Technician A says a hazardous substance with a PEL of 3 is more dangerous than one that has PEL of 100. Technician B says the STEL of a hazardous substance or material is for an 8 hour shift. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because a PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) of 3 means that workers can only be exposed to that substance up to 3 parts per million (ppm) in the air over an 8-hour work shift. A PEL of 100 means that workers can be exposed to the substance up to 100 ppm in the air. Therefore, a substance with a lower PEL is more dangerous as it allows for less exposure.

Technician B is incorrect because the STEL (Short-Term Exposure Limit) of a hazardous substance or material is the maximum level of exposure workers can be exposed to over a 15-minute period. It is not for an 8-hour shift.

Question 4

Which of the following is not true of an ABC fire extinguisher?

Accepted Answer

ABC fire extinguishers are typically filled with dry chemical powder, not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are classified as BC extinguishers.

Question 5

Technician A says a class "ABC" fire extinguisher is always filled with Carbon Dioxide. Technician B says the quickest way to distinguish the difference between fire extinguishers is to look at the outlet nozzle. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is incorrect because a class "ABC" fire extinguisher can also be filled with dry powder, which contains various chemicals depending on the manufacturer. Technician B is correct that one of the quickest ways to distinguish the difference between fire extinguishers is to look at the outlet nozzle. Different types of fire extinguishers have different types of nozzles, such as straight stream, fog, or fan, which are designed to disperse the extinguishing agent in a specific way.

Question 6

Technician A says a hazardous waste must exhibit 2 different characteristics to be classified as such. Technician B says it is a hazardous waste if it is considered toxic. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

A waste can be classified as hazardous if it exhibits any one of several characteristics, including toxicity. Therefore, Technician B is correct.

Question 7

The ____________________ is primarily concerned with protecting our environment; the air, land and water.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ____________________ is primarily concerned with protecting...

Question 8

The third prong of a 110 v plug is a safety ground.

Accepted Answer

The third prong of a 110 v plug is indeed a safety ground, which helps to protect against electrical shock in case of a fault or failure in the device or wiring.

Question 9

IGNITABLE / FLAMMABLE - means a substance has a ____________________ below 140° F, catches fire or explodes, and includes paints, solvents, and gasoline.

Accepted Answer

The answer of IGNITABLE / FLAMMABLE - means a substance...

Question 10

MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet.

Accepted Answer

MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet.

Question 11

Technician A says the effects of an acute exposure usually results in permanent nerve or organ damage. Technician B says a chronic exposure occurs at a low concentration for a short period of time Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Acute exposure typically refers to a single exposure to a high concentration of a substance, which may not always result in permanent damage, depending on the substance and the level of exposure. Chronic exposure, on the other hand, refers to repeated or continuous exposure over a long period of time, not at a low concentration for a short period as stated.

Question 12

Some paint fumes may be heaver than air and will thus collect at the floor level.

Accepted Answer

This is true. Certain types of paint fumes, such as those from oil-based paints, can be heavier than air and linger at floor level, posing potential health hazards. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and take precautions when working with any type of paint.

Question 13

Technician A says only the shop management must enforce and ensure all safety rules are followed. Technician B says professional work habits can help create a safer work environment. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because professional work habits, including cleanliness, proper tool use, and adherence to safety protocols, significantly contribute to creating and maintaining a safer work environment. While management plays a crucial role in enforcing safety rules, individual responsibility and professionalism are equally important.

Question 14

____________________ EXPOSURE is a high level exposure to a hazardous environment or to a chemical for a short period of time, usually not resulting in any permanent injury of complications

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________ EXPOSURE is a high level exposure...

Question 15

If solvents are accidentally spilled and a fire begins, a class A fire extinguisher should be used to put it out.

Accepted Answer

While it is true that solvents can cause fires, a class A fire extinguisher is not the proper type to use in this situation. Solvents are typically classified as class B fires, which require a different type of extinguishing agent such as foam or carbon dioxide. Using a class A extinguisher on a solvent fire could make the fire worse by spreading the flammable liquid. It is important to use the correct type of extinguisher for the specific type of fire.

Question 16

Technician A says each time hazardous waste is picked up from the shop, another document should be added to the manifest. Technician B says the MSDS will tell what PPE should be used when working with a hazardous material. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct as each time hazardous waste is picked up from the shop, another document should be added to the manifest. Technician B is also correct as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides information on the hazards of a material and instructions on what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be used when working with that material. Therefore, both Technician A and Technician B are correct.

Question 17

Technician A says a secondary container label is needed even if the container has the manufacturer's label on it. Technician B says a container must be labeled even if the contents are not considered hazardous Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says a secondary container label...

Question 18

Solvents are accidentally spilled on the floor and are on fire. Technician A says do not attempt to extinguish the blaze but call the fire department instead. Technician B says a class ABC extinguisher should be used. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Solvents are accidentally spilled on the floor...

Question 19

Paint storage cabinets should be vented at the top only.

Accepted Answer

Paint storage cabinets should be vented at both the top and the bottom to allow for proper airflow and to prevent the buildup of fumes, ensuring a safer storage environment.

Question 20

PPM - Particles Per ____________________ is a numeric value used to measure the exposure limits or levels usually used by the EPA.

Accepted Answer

The answer of PPM - Particles Per ____________________ is a...
