Identify TWO ways to determine the pressure of a railroad tank car - 1. read a pressure gauge attached to
the sample line
2. examine the specification markings
,One way to determine the amount of lading remaining in a liquid facility tank - use a magnetic gauge
TWO methods for determining the pressure in facility containers are - 1. fixed pressure gauges/meters

The only material that could be transported through a pipeline whose marker describes the materials
transported as "petroleum products" can only transport one of these materials (*a.* butadiene *b.*
kerosene *c.* nitrogen *d.* anhydrous ammonia) - b. kerosene
Some products are allowed to ___________________ as they travel one after another through the same
liquid pipeline - co-mingle
Example of a material found in a type B radiation container - high level spent fuel from a nuclear power
plant
The packaging of radioactive materials such as the radiopharmaceuticals used in medicine and research
could be transported in this type of radiation container that can look like a cardboard box - Type A
radiation container
Strong, tight packages are designed to transport radioactive materials with _______________________ -
low radioactivity (such as natural uranium and rubble from nuclear reactors and are packaged in steel,
wood, or fiberboard)

All of the following could be miscible in water EXCEPT (*a.* hydrogen peroxide *b.* iron filings *c.* skim
milk *d.* ethyl alcohol) - b. iron filings
Identify TWO equivalents of 3% reading of hydrogen sulfide in air - 1. 30,000 ppm
2. 30,000,000 ppb
, The concentration of a material in air that, on the basis of laboratory tests (inhalation route), is expected
to kill 50% of a group of test animals when administered in a specific period is known as - LC50
If worn correctly, full protective clothing, including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus,
will always protect you from - alpha radiation
A rail car carrying chemicals manufactured in Canada has derailed in north Texas. You have a waybill
number for that chemical. The emergency response center that you should contact is - CHEMTREC
During a HazMat incident, you should use at least _______ sources of data in order to make safe and
conservative comparisons between data - 3
All of the following factors may limit how well the CGI %LEL meter works, EXCEPT (*a.* oxygen
concentration *b.* chlorinated hydrocarbons *c.* catalyst poisons *d.* flammable vapors) - d.
flammable vapors
Responders accidentally left a box of detector tubes in the sun for four hours. The ambient temperature
is 95ºF (35ºC). Responders are now arguing over whether the tubes can still be used. What would you
suggest? - Light and high temperatures accelerate chemical decomposition; the tubes are ruined and
cannot be used.
The steps to take before using a direct reading instrument (6 step process) - 1. Inspect the physical
condition of the instrument
2. Check the battery
3. Check the alarm
4. Allow the meter to return to background readings
5. Calibrate the instrument
6. Add attachments and then check for leaks
Months ago, based on your monitoring results, the Incident Commander responded to a chlorine gas
release by evacuating a manufacturing plant. Now, the president of the company has contacted a lawyer,
claiming that the evacuation was unnecessary and that it resulted in lost production. Identify TWO
procedures that MAY protect you in the event of such a lawsuit. - 1. You performed calibration checks
before using monitoring instruments
