The Material Safety Risk Diamond illustrated in Figure 1-1
below indicates the
A. material is mildly radioactive.
A
B. material flammability risk is high; and reactivity to water
is high.
C. material is biologically hazardous, but not flammable. - ANS Answer B.
R
The risk diamond on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) label
provides a quick reference to the risks associated with the
product. Its four color segments represent Flammability
(Red), Reactivity (Yellow), Health (Blue), and Special Hazards
U
(White). The numbers (0-4) in the blocks represent the
various levels for each hazard; the higher the number the
higher the risk. There are only two approved symbols for
LA
Special Hazards: letter W with a line through it meaning that
the material has a high reactivity to water and OX meaning
that the material is a strong oxidizer.

Which government agency regulates policy regarding
C
workplace safety in aviation facilities?
A. FAA
B. EPA
C. OSHA - ANS 1-2 Answer C.
O
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) regulates policy regarding
workplace safety. The Federal Aviation Administration
D
deals with aviation safety, among other policies, and the
Environmental Protection Agency regulates policy regarding
the environment.

What sound level becomes dangerous and requires the use
of hearing protection?
A. 100 db
B. Varies depending on frequency
,C. Varies depending on duration - ANS 1-3 Answer C.
Hearing protection is extremely important. Such machines
as chainsaws, pneumatic drills, and snowmobiles produce
a noise level of 100dB can cause hearing loss. Frequency
(vibrations per second) particularly in the high range, such
as in musical instruments, can also cause hearing loss.
Duration of exposure is extremely critical in determining
hearing loss, the longer the duration the greater the potential
for loss. In each of the situations, you should wear hearing
protection. However, duration plays a significant role when
OSHA determines the requirements for mandatory hearing
A
protection, which is what this question implies with the use
of the word "requires". The bottom line here is PROTECT
your hearing. Always wear hearing protection working with
R
pneumatic drills, rivet guns, or other loud or noisy tools or
machinery all producing high dB ranges and high frequency
ranges, and even short duration exposure to these sounds
can cause a hearing loss. Continued exposure will cause
U
hearing loss. Don't forget to protect your hearing at home
and during recreational activities as well. Duration, or
how long you are exposed to a noise level, does not stop
LA
accumulating when you leave the job site. Listening to loud
music on the way home adds to the total duration.

A person should approach or leave a helicopter in the pilot's
C
field of vision whenever the engine is running in order to avoid
A. the tail rotor.
B. the main rotor.
C. blowing dust or debris caused by rotor downwash. - ANS 1-4 Answer A.
O
Always approach the helicopter in view of the pilot.
Approaching for any other direction is dangerous; the tail
rotor is invisible when operating and the pilot will not see
D
you. Additional safety precautions is not to approach the
helicopter if the main rotor is turning, unless approved to do
so and in the pilot's field of vision. If you should get dust or
debris in your eyes while approaching or leaving a helicopter,
immediately sit down to avoid further possible injury.

Which of the following conditions are required for fire?
A. Heat, oxygen, fuel
, B. Heat, friction, carbon dioxide
C. Fuel, combustion, heat - ANS 1-5 Answer A.
Three things are required for a fire:
1. Fuel or a combustible material,
2. Heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature,
3. Oxygen to sustain the combustion.
The chemical reaction caused by the interaction of these
three ingredients creates fire. By eliminating even one, a fire
cannot occur.

of other flammable or combustible liquids, greases, solvents,

Which of the following is the most satisfactory extinguishing
agent for use on a carburetor or intake fire?
A. Dry chemical
B. A fine water mist
C. Carbon dioxide - ANS 1-7 Answer C.
C
Because carburetors and intake fires will have grease and
fuel associated with them, you can eliminate "a fine water
mist" as an answer. Although both dry chemical and carbon
dioxide extinguishers can be used on Class B fires, the
O
best answer is carbon dioxide (CO2), because dry chemical
agents can leave chemical residues and dust making
cleanup difficult and cause additional damage.
