What is the recommended color coding for an electrical safety board?
- A.
Dark green background with white letters and border.
- B.
White background with dark green letters and border.
- C.
Dark green background with red letters and border.
- D.
White background with red letters and border.
Correct Answer
A. Dark green background with white letters and border.Explanation
The recommended color coding for an electrical safety board is a dark green background with white letters and border. This color combination is commonly used to indicate safety equipment or areas related to electrical systems. The dark green background helps to make the board easily noticeable, while the white letters and border provide good contrast and visibility. Using red letters and border on a dark green background may not provide the same level of visibility and contrast, making it less effective for a safety board. Similarly, using a white background with dark green letters and border may not be as noticeable and may not convey the same level of importance as the recommended color coding.Rate this question:

Why should you not rely on color coding of compressed gas cylinders to identify the contents?
- A.
The colors fade easily.
- B.
Only large tanks are color coded.
- C.
Only the small tanks are color coded.
- D.
Different manufacturers use different color codes.
Correct Answer
D. Different manufacturers use different color codes.Explanation
Relying on color coding of compressed gas cylinders to identify the contents is not reliable because different manufacturers use different color codes. This means that the same color may represent different contents depending on the manufacturer, leading to confusion and potential safety risks. Therefore, it is important to use other methods, such as labels or markings, to accurately identify the contents of compressed gas cylinders.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
What should you do with a compressed gas cylinder when the pressure of the contents reaches 25 pounds per square inch (psi)?
- A.
Mark the cylinder with the letters ―MT,‖ close the valve, and secure the protective cap.
- B.
Place an unserviceable tag on the cylinder and move it away from the other cylinders.
- C.
Open the valve and secure the cylinder valve protective cap.
- D.
Open the valve and move it away from the other cylinders.
Correct Answer
A. Mark the cylinder with the letters ―MT,‖ close the valve, and secure the protective cap.Explanation
When the pressure of the contents in a compressed gas cylinder reaches 25 pounds per square inch (psi), the appropriate action is to mark the cylinder with the letters "MT," close the valve, and secure the protective cap. This is done to indicate that the cylinder is empty and should not be used. It helps to prevent any accidents or mishaps that may occur if someone mistakenly tries to use the cylinder.Rate this question:

How does the bioenvironmental office determine the noise exposure level of a work area?
- A.
From stationary noise recording devices.
- B.
From monitoring equipment worn by employees in the work area.
- C.
From the noise level tables utilized for different pieces of equipment.
- D.
From the manufacturer’s noise level documentation of all the equipment in the work area.
Correct Answer
B. From monitoring equipment worn by employees in the work area.Explanation
The bioenvironmental office determines the noise exposure level of a work area by using monitoring equipment worn by employees in the work area. This method allows for a more accurate assessment of the actual noise levels experienced by the workers, as it takes into account factors such as the proximity to the noise source and the duration of exposure. Stationary noise recording devices may not capture all the variations in noise levels throughout the work area, while noise level tables and manufacturer's documentation may not reflect the actual conditions in the specific work environment.Rate this question:

Lever-operated hoists must only be used in
- A.
A direct pull.
- B.
An indirect pull.
- C.
A dead-end point.
- D.
A no-load condition.
Correct Answer
A. A direct pull.Explanation
Lever-operated hoists are designed to be used in a direct pull, meaning that the force is applied in a straight line from the hoist to the load being lifted. This ensures that the hoist operates efficiently and safely, as any sideways or angled force could cause the hoist to malfunction or the load to become unstable. Using a lever-operated hoist in an indirect pull, dead-end point, or no-load condition could lead to accidents or damage to the hoist and load.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Hoists must be attached to
- A.
Well-defined dead-end points capable of handling the load.
- B.
Lifeline attach points designed for hoists.
- C.
Load-tested attach points.
- D.
A free standing A-frame.
Correct Answer
A. Well-defined dead-end points capable of handling the load.Explanation
Hoists need to be attached to well-defined dead-end points that are capable of handling the load because these points provide stability and strength. The dead-end points ensure that the hoist remains secure and prevents any accidents or mishaps. It is essential to have a clear and defined attachment point that can handle the weight and pressure of the load being lifted. This ensures the safety of both the hoist and the load being lifted.Rate this question:

C. It provides the means for validating and initiating corrective action on them.Explanation
The data from maintenance documentation is important to maintenance activities across the base regarding maintenance problems because it provides the means for validating and initiating corrective action on them. This means that the documentation allows for the identification and verification of maintenance problems, which then enables the implementation of appropriate corrective measures. This helps in ensuring that maintenance issues are addressed effectively and efficiently, leading to improved maintenance operations and overall base performance.Rate this question:

If duplicate identification (ID) numbers for maintenance data documentation are a concern, what can be used to eliminate the problem?
- A.
The last four positions of the equipment serial number.
- B.
The last four positions of the equipment stock number.
- C.
A modified number of a locally developed alphanumeric designator.
- D.
A modified number of a major command (MAJCOM) developed alphanumeric designator.
Correct Answer
C. A modified number of a locally developed alphanumeric designator.Explanation
To eliminate duplicate identification (ID) numbers for maintenance data documentation, a modified number of a locally developed alphanumeric designator can be used. This means that a unique identifier specific to the local organization or facility can be created by modifying an existing alphanumeric designator. This modified number will ensure that each maintenance data document has a distinct ID, reducing the risk of duplication and confusion. Using the last four positions of the equipment serial number or stock number may not be sufficient as there could still be duplicates within those ranges. Similarly, using a modified number of a major command (MAJCOM) developed alphanumeric designator may not be effective for local organizations as it may not be specific enough.Rate this question:
