the resistivity of wire #1 to the resistivity of wire #2.
a. 1/6
b. 1/18
c. 6
d. 1
e. 3/2 –

Resistance is inversely proportional to Cross Sectional Area
RESISTIVITY is a property that is solely material dependent
Wire strain gauges are based on the fact that:
a. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length.
b. If you apply strain to a wire, stress will result and the resistance of the wire will
quadruple.
c. The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its length.
d. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its diameter.
e. The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its diameter.
--ANSWER- a. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length.
,"The pressure applied to a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted
undiminished to all the points in the fluid and to the walls of its container."
The above sentence is a statement of which principle?
a. Continuity principle
b. Pascal's principle
c. Archimedes' principle
d. Imbert-Fick principle
e. Bernoulli's principle
--ANSWER- b. pascals principle
_____________________ is an increase in the intra-pericardial pressure due to
excessive fluid buildup in the pericardial space.
a. tension pneumothorax
b. decompression sickness
c. cardiac tamponade
d. shock
e. cardiogenic shock --ANSWER- c. cardiac tamponade
Which of the following is a TRUE statement regarding accident-prevention
training in the workplace?
a. It is fundamentally more important for experienced employees to receive
requalification training than for new employees to receive initial training.
b. Accidents are statistically prone to occur more frequently when workers have recently
started a new job.
c. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.38 requires that general safety-related training be
conducted at regular annual intervals.
d. None of the above. –
-ANSWER- B: Accidents are statistically prone to occur more frequently when workers
have recently started a new job; thus, it is most imperative that robust safety training
regimens be rendered prior to such employees commencing work. Employees new to a
job need to be effectively trained on how to perform their tasks in a correct fashion and
what procedures need to be followed in the event of an incident. They also need to be
made aware that safety is of highest priority within their company culture.
Which of the following is generally NOT true with regard to worksite safety
inspections?
a. Inspectors are typically independent entities that do not have a direct affiliation with
the organization or entity undergoing inspection.
b. Inspections are usually conducted by personnel who have robust knowledge, training,
and/or experience within the subject area undergoing inspection.
,c. Inspections can either be scheduled or unscheduled.
d. Inspections, by design, should always be detail oriented in nature.
--ANSWER- D: Worksite safety inspections are usually conducted by inspectors who
are independent entities that do not have a direct affiliation with the organization or
entity being inspected, and are likewise typically conducted by personnel who have
robust knowledge, training, and/or experience within the subject area undergoing
inspection. Moreover, inspections can be either scheduled or unscheduled, and can be
either detail-oriented OR generalized in nature.
Which of the following is an excellent preventive measure/policy to employ for
reducing the likelihood of a slipping incident?
a. Prohibiting the wearing of high-heels in areas regularly subjected to large degrees of
moisture
b. Using slip-resistant floor-cleaning products
c. Having the floor custodian email regular updates/warnings to potentially affected
employees
d. Requiring employees to use alternative routes during floor cleaning and waxing --
ANSWER- B: An excellent preventive measure/policy to employ for reducing the
likelihood of a slipping incident is to regularly use/apply slip-resistant floor-cleaning
products. In addition, employing good drainage practices, good housekeeping, floor
mats, slip-resistant shoes/covers, and slippery-floor warning signs are also formidable
tools to implement for
preventing slips.
Which of the following is NOT true with regard to hazardous wastes?
a. Some hazardous wastes can be recycled and reused.
b. Hazardous wastes are permitted to be stored in open pools or piles.
c. Hazardous wastes may regularly be combined with other waste types, as
deemed applicable.
d. Hazardous wastes are regularly categorized as toxic, corrosive, and/or flammable. --
ANSWER- C: There are numerous elements to be aware of in regard to the control and
management of hazardous waste materials: many forms of hazardous waste can be
recycled and ultimately reused; hazardous wastes are permitted to be stored in open
pools or piles; hazardous wastes are typically categorized as toxic, corrosive, reactive,
and/or flammable; and hazardous wastes should always be separately (independently)
contained, treated, stored, and dispensed.
A key preventive measure for avoiding or reducing the consequences of an
explosion incident is to employ the use of ___________________.
a. material accountability custodians
b. an explosive material disposal (EMD) plan
c. explosive dust sniffers/detectors
d. barriers and distance –
, ANSWER- D: A key preventive measure for avoiding or reducing the consequences of
an explosion incident is to employ the use of barriers and distance. Materials that can
robustly blockade and contain explosive blasts (e.g., concrete bunkers) usually can
absorb a large percentage of detonation energies as well as airborne projectiles
resulting from such blasts. In addition, in most cases, the greater the distance from a
subject explosion, the lesser the incurred human impact
Which of the following is typically NOT utilized as a shielding material for
protecting against exposure to gamma- or X-ray radiation?
a. Concrete
b. Titanium
c. Water
d. Lead --ANSWER- B: Titanium is usually not employed as an effective shielding
material for protecting against exposure to gamma- or X-ray radiation. The best
shielding materials against these types of ionizing radiations include lead, concrete,
uranium, and water.
The domain of safety engineering typically does NOT focus on which of the
following:
a. Performing statistical trials
b. Determining appropriate mitigations associated with incorrect product handling
c. Assessing potential scenarios in which products may be misused
d. Removing design defects –
-ANSWER- A: The domain of safety engineering typically focuses on determining
appropriate mitigations associated with incorrect product handling; assessing potential
scenarios in which products may be misused; removing potential design defects; and
performing product/process risk assessments. The rendering of statistical trials (data
measuring and sample binning) is not typically inclusive of the work scope of most
safety engineers
Which of the following is an appropriate measure to follow for safely managing
flammable and combustible materials?
a. Plunger cans should be used for dispensing small quantities of material.
b. ANSI standards for storage cabinet design/configuration should be followed.
c. Pressurized vacuum pumps should be used for dispensing large quantities of
material.
d. Static-electricity conductor mechanisms should be employed where
flammable/combustible materials are stored or utilized.
--ANSWER- A: The use of plunger cans is widely implemented for dispensing small
quantities of flammable/combustible materials (such as solvents), particularly for
industrial maintenance and cleaning activities. Such materials should never be highly
pressurized, should always be grounded for safely dispensing of static charges, and
should always be stored in NFPA-approved configurations.
