QUIZ FROM MODULES

• Ohm's Law


  Law stating that the current flowing in a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance
• Lock Out-Tag Out (LOTO)


  Safety procedure used to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work
• Isolation


  Step in lockout which locates and isolates all machine energy sources, including fuses, disconnects, and secondary sources
• Shock's Intensity


  Can trigger an involuntary reaction, leading to physical harm during an electrical shock
• Circuit-Protection Devices (CPDs)


  Devices designed to prevent damage to electrical circuits by limiting and controlling the flow of current during unusual conditions
• Lockout


  Process of blocking the flow of energy from the power source to the equipment
• Insulator


  Material that restricts the flow of heat, electricity, or sound, preventing energy transfer
• Fuses


  Safety devices that operate to provide protection against excessive electric current, with a metal wire or strip that melts when exposed to excessive electricity
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)


  Circuit-protection device that operates by comparing the current going to and returning from the equipment along the circuit wires
• Safety garments a worker should wear when dealing with live lines

  • Electric Safety Helmet
  • Electric Rubber Gloves
  • Electric Insulation Garments
  • Electrical hazard (EH) rated safety boots
• Electric Safety Helmet


  Designed for protection against accidental falls, protection from falling objects, and additional protection from overhead live wires while working on live lines
• First aid procedures for continuous shock

  1. Remove from power with non-conductive items

  2. Assess airway, breathing, pulse

  3. Get medical help after first aid
• The minimum percentage of oxygen required to maintain a fire is 16%
• Fuel


  Combustible materials, including natural gas (methane), plastics, wood, natural and artificial fibers, paper, coal, and other living matter
• Convection


  Major mode of heat transfer that takes place in fluids and gases
• Fire


  Rapid chemical reaction known as combustion, typically characterized by the combination of oxygen with organic materials or other substances, resulting in the release of heat and light
• Ways to explain what makes a fire happen

  • Fire Triangle
  • Fire Tetrahedron
• Ignition that happens without an external ignition source

  • Spontaneous Ignition/Spontaneous Combustion
• Smoke


  Visible product of incomplete combustion, comprising tiny particles and gasses resulting from the combustion process
• Flame Producing or Free-Burning Phase


  Phase of burning where fire is intensifying as more fuels are being consumed, and the oxygen level is being depleted
• Class A


  Classification of fire which occurs the most frequently, which arises from spontaneous combustion of combustible materials such as paper, and wood
• Cart-Mounted Extinguishers


  Type of extinguisher that is also referred to as a "wheeled extinguisher"
• P.A.S.S.

  Pull the pin, Aim at the fire, Squeeze the handle, Sway the nozzle side to side
• Dry Chemical


  Type of fire extinguisher that utilizes a unique powder blend that disrupts the combustion process, diminishing the combustion rate to the point where no additional ignition or reignition of the fuel can occur
• Fire Spread Control/Fire Control


  Practice of reducing the fuel, oxygen or heat
• Class K


  Classification of fire where flammable liquids from food service and the restaurant business belong
• Smoldering Phase


  Phase of burning that reduces the oxygen content below 15% causing the fire to reach its decaying stage
• Site Safety Inspection


  Systematic evaluation and examination of a site to recognize existing and potential hazards that could lead to accidents
• Types of inspection

  • Continuous or On-Going Inspections
  • Planned Inspection at Intervals
• Periodic Inspection


  Type of planned inspection at intervals which includes those inspections scheduled at regular intervals, such as weekly, monthly, semi-annually, or at other intervals
• Monitoring and Evaluation


  Ongoing assessment to ensure that corrective measures are effective, compliance is maintained, and continuous improvement is achieved in the overall safety management system
• Preparing for an inspection


  • Review previous accident investigation and inspection reports
  • Decide the "flow" of the inspection and don't be too familiar with the area to be inspected
  • Formulate checklist
  • Wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Activities after inspection

  • Writing of inspection report
  • Correction of hazards
  • Interview of workers/supervisors
• Checklist


  Type of informational job aid used to reduce failure by compensating for potential limits of human memory and attention
• Collect and Review Information


  Involves reviewing relevant documentation, safety guidelines, and past incident reports
• Hazard


  Can be found anywhere, so it is crucial to develop the ability to recognize them
• Hazard Recognition


  Recognizing, evaluating, and ranking possible hazards, whether they currently exist or could arise in the future
• Investigate Incidents


  Helps to understand the underlying hazards, their cause, and any shortcomings in the safety and health program
• Reviewing Work Conditions


  Involves carefully checking if long hours or challenging tasks could lead to fatigue and pose safety risks
• Items needed on the Checklist


  • Dangerous sites, operations, and equipment
  • Grounds
  • Platforms for Loading and Shipping
  • External Structures
  • Floors
  • Stairways
  • Cleaning Services
  • Faulty chains, poor electrical systems, and potential fire hazards
