CSP EXAM ACTUAL EXAM/ MOSTLY TESTED QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS| 100% CORRECT
SOLUTIONS/GRADE A+
Presbycusis
Ans: Hearing loss due to old age
Qiz Presbyopia
Ans: impaired vision as a result of aging, difficulty focusing
Qiz Byssinosis
Ans: Disease from inhaling cotton fibers. Also called "brown lung disease" or "Monday fever".
Reaction against cotton, linen, hemp products in textile/fabric industry.
Qiz Four (4) types of human errors discussed in Human Factors Engineering.
Ans: "Errors C.O.S.T. time and money"
1. Commission: doing something wrong
,2. Omission: leaving something out
3. Sequence: doing something in the wrong order
4. Timing: doing something out of allotted time, too fast or too slow
Qiz Does the employers have to post OSHA citations?
Ans: Yes, for 3 days or until corrected.
Qiz Audiogram
Ans: Written record of hearing threshold at specified frequencies.
Qiz Audiometer
Ans: a device that can present tones of different frequencies, from low in pitch to high in pitch, at
different volumes from soft to loud
Qiz What dB at 3000 hz during an audiogram means the person can't hear the tone?
Ans: 30 dB
Qiz Factors that affect absorption of noise
Ans: angle to noise source, frequency of noise, density, condition/cleanliness, type of mounting, shape
of surface
,Qiz To improve noise absorption through engineering controls, what properties do you want?
Ans: Good porosity, thickness, air gaps
Qiz Emissivity
Ans: Ratio of radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at the same
temperature. A black body is 1.0 (highest), down to 0 (bright, reflective surfaces).
Qiz Emissivity of bright metal surfaces
Ans: Low - less than 0.1 (bright metal is a good reflector), meaning it is good for reducing radiant heat.
Qiz Emissivity of unpolished surfaces
Ans: Close to 1.0, which is high, meaning not great for reducing radiant heat.
Qiz Carpal tunnel affects what nerve and what parts of the hand?
Ans: Median nerve. Thumb, pointer and ring fingers, NOT the pinky. Inflammation and pain in the
wrist. Thenar wasting is sign of advanced disease.
Qiz Metal Fume Fever
Ans: Acute condition from brief high exposure to metal fumes (e.g., zinc, magnesium, their oxides).
Symptoms appear from 4 to 12 hours after exposure -- fever, shaking chills (flu-like). Recovery is quick.
Workers can develop immunity, but a break and re-exposure normally makes it worse.
, Qiz What do altitude changes affect (and not affect) regarding fans?
Ans: Horsepower needed (air has less mass), static pressure (not as much needed). But the CFM
(volumetric rate) is NOT changed by altitude, and neither is RPM of the fan.
Qiz SCBA & airline respirator rules
Ans: Must be Grade D or higher; can use high pressure air; oil pumped with filtering is acceptable.
Medical oxygen is NOT allowed - dangerous because of increased flammability.
Qiz Abduction, adduction, flexion, extension
Ans: Adbuction: increasing angle of arm to body, AWAY.
Adduction: decreasing angle of arm to body, TOWARD.
Extension: increasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Flexion: decreasing angle of forearm to bicep.
Qiz Perchloric acid
Ans: HClO4 (Strong Acid). Used in the chemical, eletroplating and fireworks industries - strong
oxidizing acid. Hoods should be stainless steel with rounded corners. Never use perchloric acid in a hood
designed for other purposes.
Qiz LOTO tags must have what minimum unlocking strength?
