Ammo 67 Exam Questions And Well Elaborated Solutions

Ammo 67 Exam Questions And Well Elaborated Solutions Hazard class knowledge -ANSWER As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class and what they are capable of doing allows you to safety transport or store hazardous materials. First responders must know the hazard class to correctly respond to the type of emergency (gas, liquid, explosive, etc.) With this information, they can safely control and contain a HAZMAT accident and protect the public. What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact with each other are transported together? -ANSWER Possible Hazards Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other, they are capable of producing other hazards i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic vapor (which is an inhalation hazard). Hazard Class Division -ANSWER Some hazard classes are separated into divisions. These divisions identify the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1 (explosives) can have hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding Learn more HC Division -ANSWER HC 1 1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile) 1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges) 1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges) 1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades) 1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents) 1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard) HC2 2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen) 2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (helium, nitrogen, and neon) 2.3 Gases poisonous by inhalation (chlorine, ammonia anhydrous, carbon monoxide) HC 3 Materials that ignite easily. This is due to flash point. A flash point is the temperature at which a material gives off enough vapor to ignite. (fuel aviation turbine engine (JP-8), gasoline, and some alcohol beverages) HC 4 4.1 Flammable solids that catch fire easily (safety or strike anywhere matches) 4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials that can catch fire without a separate heat source (charcoal briquettes, linseed oil) 4.3 Dangerous when wet materials (materials that can explode or emit flammable gas when in contact with water) i.e. potassium, sodium, MRE heaters HC 5 5.1 Oxidizer: materials that does not burn on its own, but gives off oxygen, which could cause other materials to burn i.e. ammonium nitrate fertilizer, hydrogen peroxide 5.2 Organic peroxide (liquid or solid) that contain oxygen i.e. polyester resin kits used to patch vehicle tires or repair boats HC 6 6.1 Poisonous materials (liquid or solid) so toxic to humans that it is a hazard to health i.e. potassium cyanide, arsenic 6.2 Infectious substances: an organism that causes virus or infection in humans or animals i.e. medical waste, virus cultures HC 7 A radioactive material is any material containing unstable isotopes I.e. uranium, plutonium, thorium Note: any time you receive or ship radioactive materials, you must work with your Radiation Safety Officer HC 8 Materials (liquid or solid) that causes destruction to the human body upon contact (also includes liquids that corrode metals, like steel or aluminum) i.e. sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide HC 9 Material that presents a hazard during transportation and does not fail under any of the other eight hazard classes I.e. asbestos,, airbag inflators, dry ice when transported by air or vessel, cotton, when transported by land or vessel What type of information is found on a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheet (SDS)? -ANSWER First source of information used to create shipping papers, mark and label packages, and placard vehicles. It provides crucial information for Hazard Class 2 thru 9 materials. Describes who made the material, the ingredients that make up the material, and possible hazards of the material (birth certificate) Why is correct Hazmat information important? -ANSWER Correct Hazmat information provides safe and handling procedures, which can prevent accidents MSDS/SDS and Hazmat Communication -ANSWER Guides you to the information in the 49 CFR. The 49 CFR gives the information to correctly prepare Hazmat communication (i.e. shipping papers, package markings and labels, and placards) MSDS/SDS Uses -ANSWER Describes Class 2 thru Class 9 hazard materials. It is not used to describe Class 1 explosives MSDS/SDS and Hazmat Employees -ANSWER *As a Hazmat employee you use a MSDS/SDS as a guide for proper and safe handling of a hazardous material *Emergency personnel *Every installation must have an MSDS/SDS for every hazardous material, other than Class 1, that is shipped or stored on the installation. MSDS/SDS Section -ANSWER MSDS/SDS Safety Information Contractor Summary (identifies who to contact if you have questions about the material or the MSDS) Item Description Information: provides the material's common name (The item name is one of the markings on the exterior of a package. It identifies the package contents.) Ingredients Health Hazard Data Fire and Explosion Hazard Information Physical/Chemical Properties Reactivity Data Detail DOT Information: The Detail DOT Information FOR LAND TRANSPORTATION section provides the material's basic description. Detail IMO Information Global Harmonization System -ANSWER a SDS serves the same function as a MSDS. All SDS use the same style and format Basic Description -ANSWER Identification number Proper shipping name (PSN) Hazard class(es) and division (if applicable) Packing group (if applicable)
