profession developed by the restoration industry entitled the IICRC
.: S500 Standard
2. To help protect
technicians from the many hazards associated with contaminated water losses, restorers
need to have ready access to several items. These items protect for all
to the body.: Potential Exposures
3. Respiratory protection regulations state that the employer must provide: _________
____________________________________________ : Medical Evaluation, Fit Testing Training
4. The contract clearly states
the agreement between the building owner and the restoration contractor. The form
specifies who is responsible for payment and should be signed
work begins.: Before
5. The technician's
first responsibility when arriving at a water damage site is to identify, communicate and
eliminate if reasonably possible.: Safety Hazards
6. Federal
regulations apply to the handling of based
paint and asbestos.: Lead
7. After safety concerns have been addressed and the initial water source has been
stopped, the restorer must complete an evaluation of the water's migration through the
structure. During this process, the restorer inspects all
areas.: Potentially Affected
8. The ultimate goal is to find the
"edge" of water migration, which moves in a three-dimensional path throughout the
structure. This is accomplished across carpeted surfaces using a , and across
most hard surfaces using (non-penetrat- ing) moisture
meter.: Moisture Sensor Non-invasive
9. Water from a clean source with no substantial risk of causing sickness or discomfort
is said to be water.: Category 1
10. Water that has a significant degree of chemical, biological and/or phys ical
contamination and a potential to cause sickness or discomfort is
.: Category 2
1/
, 11. Clea
can continue. At a minimum, affected must be removed and disposed of, and
carpet must be thoroughly cleaned using a hot water extraction method.: Carpet Pads
12. When water intrusion results from a grossly unsanitary source or carries
(disease causing) agents, it is said to be Category 3.: Pathogenic
13. Worker and occupant
and safety are the first priority on every sewage loss. Areas affected by Category 3 water
intrusion are marked and posted as potentially hazardous.: Health
14. Various cleaning and decontamination procedures must be used on Category 3
water losses, including the removal of all
materials affected by the water intrusion.: Highly Porous
15. When resistance is encountered and performing proper services in a Category
3 water loss becomes a challenge, restorers
immediately to prevent liability and address the conflict.- : Stop Work
16. Third party experts are commonly referred to as
Indoor Environmental Professionals, or .: IEP's
17. Losses where
regulated or hazardous materials have contaminated the structure do not change the
of water.: Category
18. Pre-existing
conditions should be identified, documented and communicated to all parties
during the initial inspection.: Martially Interested
19. When carpet delamination (the loss of integrity in
the adhesives used to laminate the and back- ings) has occurred, further
damage is very likely. For this reason, when extensive carpet delamination is discovered,
technicians must call it to the attention of all materially interested parties, document the
condition and suggest .: Primary
Secondary Replacement
20. There are a number of causes
for carpet delamination — many of them related to ______________ restoration
activities.: Improper
21. Typical causes of carpet delamination are:
Improper Handling of Wet Carpet
Improper Pad/Cushion
Improper Disengaging
Improper Installation
Overly Aggressive Extraction
