QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
10 Foot Rule. - ANSWER-Always stay at least 10 feet from electric lines with voltages of
50 kilovolts or less!
Abestos: - ANSWER-Asbestos contains fibers that are very strong and resistant to heat
and chemicals. Asbestos is often used to insulate vessels and piping. Asbestos is used
in siding, shingles and floor tiles. Under normal conditions, these fibers do not pose a
health hazard but they do become hazardous if something happens to cause these
fibers to be released into the air. When released in the air these fibers can cause lung
cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or a lung condition called asbestosis. You must be
properly trained and wear the proper PPE if you work where there are dangerous
concentrations of asbestos.
Administrative Controls for NOISE: - ANSWER-Operating noisy machinery on a shift
when fewer employees are present
Rotating employees out of noisy areas for part of a shift
Hearing Personal Protective Equipment
Air Purifying Respirators: - ANSWER-This type of respirator uses filters, canisters or
cartridges that can REMOVE specific contaminants from the air before it reaches your
lungs. This type of respirator is ONLY to be used if the air contaminants have been
properly IDENTIFIED and the filter, canister or cartridge is designed to absorb the
amount of contaminant in the air. *** They must NEVER be used when the air quality is
not known and it could be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health. The actual type of
cartridge, canister or filter that you will use is determined by the type of air hazard that
exists.
Air Supplied Respirators: - ANSWER-HOSE LINE AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR - This
type of respirator uses supplied air that may come from an air compressor that is
located where the air is known to be safe or from a bank of compressed air bottles. The
air is sent to the respirator face piece through a hose.
SELF- CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBA) - This is another type of Air-
Supplied Respirator. This type of respirator uses a tank of air that you carry with you. A
self- contained breathing unit (SCBA) MUST be used if the conditions of the air are NOT
known OR where the air is Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). Different
SCBA's may last between 5 minutes to 45 minutes. 5 minute units are only to be used
for escape or emergencies.
BBP - ANSWER-Bloodborne Pathogens

Training - You must be trained every year on the proper use and care of each type of hearing protection you will use. You will also learn how too much noise can cause hearing loss and how hearing PPE can protect you. Hearing Protection - ANSWER-Hearing protection must be worn when the noise is so loud that it could damage your hearing. If you work in noisy areas, you must wear hearing protection. You may need to use earplugs, earmuffs or the combination of both in extremely noisy environments. HMIS and NFPA LABELS: (EXAMPLE) - ANSWER-On the blue health area, 0 = no health hazard, 1= slight health hazard, 2= moderate health hazard, 3= Extreme Danger 4= very severe or deadly health hazard.. Hot Work Permits - ANSWER-This permit is used when the work that will be done or the tools and equipment used to do the work could produce enough HEAT or a SPARK to IGNITE the materials around it. This permit requires the results of the gas test that proves that this work can be safely done as well as what fire extinguishing equipment must be on hand during the work. Some other requirements are time and date the work can be done, description of the object to be worked on, and what emergency equipment should be on hand. How are the HMIS and the NFPA labels are alike? - ANSWER-They use the same color codes and number warnings. How is noise measured? - ANSWER-Decibals.
