◉ In pneumatic fire detection, the pneumatic detectors have air at
atmosphere pressure in a bulb which has a sensitive diaphragm.
Increase in temperature causes the air pressure to do what which will
cause the diaphragm to do what? Answer: The air pressure will go up
and eventually the diaphragm will be deflected.
◉ If the air contains 500 PPM of acetone (TLV, 750PPM) and 50 PPM of
MEK (TLV, 200PPM), the concentration of the mixture is what? Answer:
Below the recommended values for the mixture. Because C1/T1 +
C2/T2 is < 1. Example 500/75 + 50/200 < 1.
◉ What is the occupational disease caused as a result of over -
exposure to cotton dust? Answer: Byssinosis
◉ When using luminescent detectors the collision of neutrons with the
solid material in the detector generates excess energy which is emitted
in the form of light. This is proportional to what? Answer: The amount
of energy received by the material.
◉ A spherical tank is half filled with a liquid that has a density of 70
lbs/ft3. If the mass of liquid in the tank is 2100 lbs. The volume of the
tank is equal to: Answer: Density = Mass/Volume. 70 = 2100/volume.
,Volume = 2100/70 = 30ft3. However, the above value is only half the
total volumne of the tank. Total volume of tank = 30*2=60ft3
◉ Chemicals that attack the kidney upon entry into the body are
called? Answer: Nephrotoxins
◉ What are 3 examples of Nephrotoxins? Answer: Uranium,
halogenated hydrocarbons, and vinyl chloride.
◉ The reaction between an acid and a base is BEST described by which
of the following terms? Answer: Neutralization
◉ When an acid and base react in stoichiometric ratios, the result is
what? Answer: Salt and Water. Both the acid and the base have been
neutralized.
◉ When workers operate a power presses, the fixed enclosure guard is
always in place expect for what two tasks? Answer: It is always in place
except for maintance and or die changing.
◉ Define the LD 50? Answer: Lethal Dose 50 indicated the amount of
chemic, which can produce death in 50% of tested animals in a given
period of time.
◉ Carbon Monoxide is a what? Answer: Chemical Asphyxiant
,◉ Hearing loss due to aging is known as? Answer: Presbycusis
◉ In an epidemiological study 2 out of 1,000 people were found to
have a disease. The prevalence for this study is what? Answer:
Prevalence - 2/1000 = 0.002
◉ A bacteria can cause injury to the human body by what 3 examples?
Answer: Invasion and destruction of cells, production of toxic materials,
and producing damaging hypersensitivity reactions.
◉ Laser radiation is what type of raditation? Answer: Non - ionizing
radiation
◉ What is ionizing radiation? Answer: It is any electromagnetic or
particulate radiation capable of producing ions either directly or
indirectly as a result of interaction with matter.
◉ In oxgyen cutting of metals? Answer: The base metal is cut as a result
of a chemical reaction with oxygen and a fuel gas or arc maintains the
elevated temperature.
◉ Approximately what percent of musculosketal injuries are caused by
pushing or pulling objects? Answer: 20%
, ◉ In welding operations, the primary purpose of an inert gas shield is
what two things? Answer: To prevent entry of air to the arc and to
minimize formation of nitrides and oxides in the weld.
◉ What is the main reason for guarding block and tackles used in
confined spaces? Answer: Prevent one's hand from getting caught
between the pulley and the rope.
◉ What is the best type of protection for workers who operate a power
press? Answer: Fixed enclosure guard
◉ A Ground Fault Interrupter? Answer: Detects the flow of electricity
to the ground and opens the circuit.
◉ The two main categories of circuit breakers are? Answer: Magnetic
and thermal
◉ What does the thermal type circuit breaker do? Answer: It opens the
circuit based on temperature rise resulting from current flow.
◉ What do magnetic circuit breakers do? Answer: Work on the basis of
the amount of current flowing through the device.
◉ The universal color used for displaying radiation hazards signs and
labels is? Answer: Magenta on yellow background
