b) When laboratory operations require a FDNY permit
c) When more than 1 gallon of flammable or combustible
liquids are stored
d) When using a fume hood
e) All of the above - correct answer-
,3. Who is responsible for making sure all fire safety
regulations and procedures are obeyed in the laboratory?
_____
a) The Principal Investigator
b) The C-14 certificate of fitness holder

4. When does a combustible liquid have a flash point?
_____
a) at or above 100° F
b) below 100° F
c) none of the above - correct answer-
A gas that will form an explosive mixture upon
concentration with air or that will ignite in air. Utility gas
piped into a laboratory will not be considered as
flammable gas for purpose of classification under these
regulations. - correct answer- flammable gas
, A solid substance other than one classified as an explosive
which is liable to CAUSE A FIRE through friction, through
absorption of moisture, through spontaneous chemical
changes, or as a result of retained heat from
manufacturing or processing (e.g., white phosphorous,
nitrocellulose, metallic sodium and potassium, zirconium
powder). - correct answer- flammable solid
A substance that yields OXYGEN readily to support
combustion (e.g., potassium permanganates, sodium
nitrate, hydrogen peroxide). - correct answer-
oxidizing material
A substance, other than one classified as an explosive or
blasting agent, that will vigorously and energetically react,
is potentially explosive, will polymerize or decompose
instantaneously, will undergo UNCONTROLABLE auto-
reaction or can be exploded by heat, shock, pressure or
combinations thereof. (E.g., organic peroxides,
nitromethane, ammonium nitrate). Unstable chemicals
may only be used when the laboratory has a explosion
hazard control system installed - correct answer-
Unstable chemical
