Pass
Presbycusis ✔✔Hearing loss due to old age
Presbyopia ✔✔impaired vision as a result of aging, difficulty focusing
Byssinosis ✔✔Disease from inhaling cotton fibers. Also called "brown lung disease" or
"Monday fever". Reaction against cotton, linen, hemp products in textile/fabric industry.
Four (4) types of human errors discussed in Human Factors Engineering. ✔✔"Errors C.O.S.T.
time and money"
1. Commission: doing something wrong
2. Omission: leaving something out
3. Sequence: doing something in the wrong order
4. Timing: doing something out of allotted time, too fast or too slow
Does the employers have to post OSHA citations? ✔✔Yes, for 3 days or until corrected.
,Audiogram ✔✔Written record of hearing threshold at specified frequencies.
Audiometer ✔✔a device that can present tones of different frequencies, from low in pitch to high
in pitch, at different volumes from soft to loud
What dB at 3000 hz during an audiogram means the person can't hear the tone? ✔✔30 dB
Factors that affect absorption of noise ✔✔angle to noise source, frequency of noise, density,
condition/cleanliness, type of mounting, shape of surface
To improve noise absorption through engineering controls, what properties do you want?
✔✔Good porosity, thickness, air gaps
Emissivity ✔✔Ratio of radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at
the same temperature. A black body is 1.0 (highest), down to 0 (bright, reflective surfaces).
Emissivity of bright metal surfaces ✔✔Low - less than 0.1 (bright metal is a good reflector),
meaning it is good for reducing radiant heat.
,Emissivity of unpolished surfaces ✔✔Close to 1.0, which is high, meaning not great for reducing
radiant heat.
Carpal tunnel affects what nerve and what parts of the hand? ✔✔Median nerve. Thumb, pointer
and ring fingers, NOT the pinky. Inflammation and pain in the wrist. Thenar wasting is sign of
advanced disease.
Metal Fume Fever ✔✔Acute condition from brief high exposure to metal fumes (e.g., zinc,
magnesium, their oxides). Symptoms appear from 4 to 12 hours after exposure -- fever, shaking
chills (flu-like). Recovery is quick. Workers can develop immunity, but a break and re-exposure
normally makes it worse.
What do altitude changes affect (and not affect) regarding fans? ✔✔Horsepower needed (air has
less mass), static pressure (not as much needed). But the CFM (volumetric rate) is NOT changed
by altitude, and neither is RPM of the fan.
SCBA & airline respirator rules ✔✔Must be Grade D or higher; can use high pressure air; oil
pumped with filtering is acceptable. Medical oxygen is NOT allowed - dangerous because of
increased flammability.
, Abduction, adduction, flexion, extension ✔✔Adbuction: increasing angle of arm to body,
AWAY.
Adduction: decreasing angle of arm to body, TOWARD.
Extension: increasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Flexion: decreasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Grade D breathing air ✔✔19.5%-23.5% oxygen
<5 mg/m3 of oil
<10 ppm CO
<1000 ppm CO2.
TLV, PEL, IDLH for carbon monoxide ✔✔TLV of 50 ppm (ACGIH); STEL of 400.
IDLH of 1500 ppm (NIOSH)
PEL of 35-50 (OSHA); ceiling is 200, instantaneous is 1500.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) ✔✔Air pollution that is a product of combustion of fossil fuels.
Flammable, colorless, odorless, poisonous. Chemical asphyxiate. Does NOT harm red blood
cells, but reduces their oxygen-carrying capacity.
