The minimum level of protection OSHA requires in an emergency response is | SCBA |
What type of assessment must be done before picking chemical-protective clothing | risk |
Suit integrity, Chemical resistance, Physical Properties, and design features are selection factors for what | chemical protective clothing |
The result of __________ is an increased likelihood that a hazardous material will permeate and penetrate the garments | Degradation |
Type of degradation that weakens the material by exposure to chemicals. | Chemical |
Caused by rubbing against rough surfaces, or leaning/brushing against sharp objects. | Physical Degradation |
Stiffness or excess pliability, Tears, cuts, and abrasions, Damage to zippers or closures, and soft or sticky areas are indications of | material degradation |
Movement of a chemical through suits closures, cracks or tears | Penetration |
Process which a hazardous material moves through a given material on the molecular level | Permeation |
A disadvantage of Type 1 is | communications |
Advantage: cools entire body Disadvantage: requires an airline and large amounts of breathable air | Air cooled |
Advantage:inexpensive and lightweight, improve worker comfort, decrease lens fogging, and are "user friendly" Disadvantage: Add additional bulk and weight to the responders equipment, require an ice source at the scene | Ice cooled |
Advantages: most effective, can also be used as a warming system in cold conditions Disadvantage: adds weight and bulk, requires an ice supply | Water cooled |
Advantage: creates a constant temperature and works in harmony with the body, works according to the same principles as a conventional refrigerator Disadvantage: Cost and requires ice water to cool vest | Phase change technology |
While selecting protective clothing use the criteria established by | EPA and OSHA |
what is Low dexterity, Low visibility, and communication issues. | Physical Stresses |
Claustrophobia is what type of stress | Psychological |
Excessive sweating, urge to defecate, and weakness are symptoms of what heat stress | Heat exhaustion |
Weakness, confusion, seizures, and stomach pains are symptoms for what type of heat stress | Heatstroke |
Muscle cramps, weakness, and heavy perspiration are symptoms of what type of heat stress | Heat cramps |
Can cause a chemical reaction and spontaneously combust | Adsorption |
The interaction of a hazardous liquid and a solid sorbent surface which stays rigid, with no volume increase. | Adsorption |
Although they are more suited for decontaminating the are around the spill or the equipment they can be used to decontaminate personnel | Absorption |
Process by which materials hold liquids | Absorption |
applying a cover of gas over the surface of a hazardous material; usually a liquid | Blanketing |
Protect or contain the stored product to prevent it from harming personnel, equipment, or the environment | Blanketing |
Temporary method of confinement, it may be necessary to consult with a product specialist first | Covering |
barriers constructed to prevent or reduce the quantity of liquid flowing into the environment | Damming |
