it ensures that chemical products are evaluated and that hazard information is
transmitted to employees
12. What are PELS (Permissible Exposure Limit)?: PELs are legal limits for the
degree to which workers may be exposed to chemicals and other hazards (such as

period.

railing and railing should be provided on all exposed sides (except at entrance
to stairway): True

and posts, and shall have a vertical height of 42 inches nominal from upper surface
of top rail to floor

in good repairs, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a
hazard and shall be appropriately marked.: True
18. What are the types of fire?: A - ash - paper, wood, travel distance to fire
extinguisher 75 feet or less

employee exposure to hazards & control for hazards to protect workers
25. What is an engineering control?: Remove hazard; include: process change,
chemical substitution, ventilation, shielding, guarding, requires little or not employee
action, but does not include job rotation
26. What is the most common route of entry of a hazardous chemical?: Inhale
27. When must an employer administer a continuing, effective hearing con-
servation program?: Whenever an employee noise exposure equal or exceed 85
