81 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 81
List the three types of foces created when loads are imposed on materials
Positive, Negative, and neutral
Elastic, Plastic, and brittle
Compression, Tension, and shear
Confining stress, deformation, and folding
Term 2 of 81
What does IDLH stand for
Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health
Maximum Exposure Limit
Infrequently Dangerous to Life and Health
Instantly Detrimental to Life and Health
,Term 3 of 81
What are some fo the hazardous energy sources in vehicles
Step 1: View the volume, velocity, density, and color of smoke: then compare the differences
in the attributes from each opening.
Step 2: Analyze the contributing factors to determine if they are affecting volume, velocity,
density, or color
Step 3: Determine the rate of change of each attribute.
Physical environment
Relationship of the worker to the environment
The task being attempted
Stability/position: rolling weight, instabiltiy, collapase, failure of ground to hold the load.
Fuel systems: types of fuels, storage, pumps, fuel lines, pressurization.
Electrical systmes: Batteries, converters, high voltage wires
Power generation systems: Pulleys, belts, heat, noise, thrust, exhaust gases.
Suspension/door systems: springs, shocks, gas or pneumatic struts.
Drive/brake systems: Pressure vessels, heat, springs, torsion, exotic metal fumes.
Restraint safety systems (air bags)
In a fire, steel loses strength as temperatures increase: The specific range of temperatures
at which it loses strength depends on how the steel was manufactured. Cold drawn steel,
like cables, bolts, rebar, and lightweight fasteners, loses 55 percent of its strength at 800
degrees fahrenheit. Extruded structural steel used for beams and columns lose 50 percent
of its strength at 1100 degrees fahrenheit
Definition 4 of 81
Mastery is the ability of an individual to achieve 90 percent of an objective 90 percent of the time.
Can apply to the ISO as "unconscious competence" to perform functions with an analytical
automation that is deeply connected with and appropriate for the incident
List the three steps of the reading smoke process
What is the essential difference between learning and performance
Explain the effects of fire on steel structural elements
Discuss the concept of mastery and its benefit to the ISO
,Term 5 of 81
What four elements need to be balanced to help human cell performance
Proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals
Temperature regulation, waste removal, and immune response
Exercise, rest, mental stimulation, and social interaction
Oxygen, water, glucose (from food), and insulin
Definition 6 of 81
Combine ff death and injury numbers with a national trend of fewer fires, and one can
hypothesize that the effort to reduce ff injuries may not be as effective as it could be. It is easy to
see that the appointment of an ISO, more often than not, seems prudent. Other programs, such as
ff wellness and incident management systems, do reduce injury and death potential over time, but
the use of an ISO can start to reduce these threat potentials today
What is the significanace of the US Department of Homeland Security to the fire service
Discuss current ff injury and death trends and the need for ISO response.
List, in order, the five step analytical approach to predicting building collapse
List the 3 influences on risk taking values
, Definition 7 of 81
The DHS was created to prepare, defend, and respond to terrorist acts within the US and is tasked
with the development of a National Response Plan NRP and to administer the National Incident
Management System NIMS. Federal grant money to fire departments is tied to their compliance
with NIMS. Currently, the Federal Emergency Management Administration FEMA and the US Fire
Administration USFA fall under the DHS
List the 3 influences on risk taking values
What is the significanace of the US Department of Homeland Security to the fire service
In general terms, explain the history of today's safety officer in the industrial world as well
as in the fire service
What is a ground gradient
Definition 8 of 81
What do I know about this?
How do I feel about it"
How should I handle it to show a concern for safety
To check your attitude, what three questions can be asked of yourself
List four tools that can help the ISO be effective on scene
Describe the realtionships among knowledge, skill, and attitude
Explain the reasons that the ISO role should be preplanned
