environmental damage, and systems disruption
During a leak incident, what resource would you use to locate nearby streams? - Topographic map
The "outcomes" of a HazMat incident are defined in terms of - fatalities, injuries, property and
environmental damage, and systems disruption
During a leak incident, what resource would you use to locate nearby streams? - Topographic map
During a leak incident, what resource would you use to locate access routes and isolation control points
for responders? - Road map
During a leak incident, what resource would you use to locate the broken valve? - Digital photo
For radiation, what unit measures activity? - Curie
For radiation, what unit measures exposure or quantity gamma? - Roentgen
For radiation, what unit measures absorbed dose? - Rad, Rem, Gray, or Sievert
This radiation will penetrate even concrete and can cause skin burns and internal organ damage -
Gamma radiation
This radiation will not penetrate paper; harmful if ingested, inhaled, or allowed to enter through a
wound - Alpha radiation
,Full protective clothing and SCBA will provide partial protection for this type of radiation and can
damage skin tissue and organs - Beta radiation
This radiation can produce an explosion or energy and can be shielded by water or plastic - Neutron
radiation
Name 3 good sources for information on specific health hazards associated with substances present at
HazMat incidents - Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Poison Control Center, and
Emergency Care for Hazardous Materials Exposure
Identify 4 agents likely to cause respiratory problems - Irritants, vesicants, blood agents, and choking
agents
If you have it available, the only resource you would need to refer to during an incident would be... -
...just kidding! There is no one resource manual that has it all.
Once you know the name of the material, what do you do in the Emergency Care for Hazardous
Materials Exposure book? - Find the guideline number in the Alphabetical Index
Name 3 types of cryogenic liquid heat transfer? - Conduction, convection, & radiation
Describe conduction heat transfer - The heat or electricity transmitted by direct contact with a substance
without movement of the material
Describe convection heat transfer - The heat can be transferred in the fluid by movement of matter
Describe radiation heat transfer - The heat can be transferred without direct contact between two
substances
Name the country of origin for these 3 information centers (*a* CANUTEC *b* SETIQ *c* CHEMTREC) -
*a* Canada *b* Mexico *c* U.S.A.
,Your CGI meter is calibrated for pentane, but you have been called in to assist at a leak in a butane filling
facility. What should you do? - Take the measurement and check out the response curve for butane.
What type of radiation can a Geiger-Mueller counter detect? - Gamma and x-ray
This equipment is a type of thermographic imaging device that render infrared radiation as visible light. -
Thermal imager
Of the following materials, which ones can be detected using an FID? (Methane, Benzene, Hydrogen
sulfide, carbon dioxide, and gamma particles) - Methane and Benzene
Is testing for intrinsic safety necessary for safe and effective monitoring? - Nope
Name some conditions necessary for safe and effective monitoring - Careful pre-use checking and
calibration, documenting the instrument used and the location of the sample, and paying particular
attention to confined spaces and low-lying areas
What should you do if you find suspicious materials at a suspected terrorist incident? - Preserve the
evidence for the police
Creasing at the rear of knees that has caused outer layers of your chemical protective suit to crack
indicates what has happened? - Degradation
While working in a chemical vapor suit, your buddy collapses during an operation response. There are no
signs of damage to the suit, but the suit was later found to be old and not compatible with the material.
Your buddy was found to have signs of minimal exposure. What likely happened? - Permeation
What is the limitation of traditional military chemical protective clothing? - Military protective clothing
does not provide respiratory protection in an IDLH environment.
You are about to don your suit for an incident. The suit's use and maintenance logs indicate no
deficiencies. What should you do prior to donning the suit? - Visually inspect the suit
, List the 3 factors to consider when selecting respiratory protection for a specific incident. - 1. The nature
of the response hazard 2. The required duration of the air supply 3. The responder's experience and
training
What level of HazMat must you be certified to in order to perform offensive mitigation techniques, such
as applying a patch? - Technician-level
How can you determine the liquid level of an MC-331? - Look at the internal pressure gauge
All of the following can be transported in an MC-331 EXCEPT (*a* butadiene *b* anhydrous ammonia
*c* liquid argon *d* LPG) - *c* liquid argon
The capacity of a nonpressure cargo tank (MC-306/DOT-406) is approximately - 2,000 to 10,000 gallons
