- B.
  
  Analyze the incident, Plan the response, Implement the response, Evaluate progress, Remediate site location
- C.
  
  Analyze the incident, Plan the response, Implement the response, Terminate
- D.
  
  Analyze the incident, Implement the response, Evaluate progress, Terminate
Correct Answer
A. Analyze the incident, Plan the response, Implement the response, Evaluate progress, Terminate

Explanation
The correct answer is "Analyze the incident, Plan the response, Implement the response, Evaluate progress, Terminate". This sequence of steps outlines the process that a technician must follow when dealing with an incident. First, they need to analyze the incident to understand its nature and scope. Then, they must plan the appropriate response to address the incident effectively. After that, they implement the planned response to mitigate the incident. The technician should continuously evaluate the progress of their response to ensure its effectiveness. Finally, once the incident is resolved, they can terminate the response.

Appropriate level of protect for the Hazmat Tech when dealing with and unknown product is
- A.
  
  Level A
- B.
  
  Level B
- C.
  
  Level C
- D.
  
  Level D
Correct Answer
A. Level A

Explanation
The appropriate level of protection for a Hazmat Tech when dealing with an unknown product is Level A. Level A protection is the highest level of protection and is used when there is a high level of respiratory and skin protection required. This level includes a fully encapsulated suit with a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to protect against chemical exposure. It is necessary to use Level A protection when dealing with an unknown product to ensure the safety of the Hazmat Tech and prevent any potential harm or exposure to hazardous materials.

Methods for determining the amount of lading remaining in damaged bulk packaging or facility containers include: Shipping papers, Frost line, Gauging devices, and
- A.
  
  Calculations based on estimated amount of product spilled
- B.
  
  Calculations based on COBRA
- C.
  
  Container specific marking
- D.
  
  ICs best guess
Correct Answer
C. Container specific marking

Explanation
Container specific marking is a method for determining the amount of lading remaining in damaged bulk packaging or facility containers. This involves looking at the markings on the container itself, such as fill lines or volume indicators, to estimate how much product is still inside. By referencing these markings, one can get a rough idea of the remaining amount of lading without relying on other methods like shipping papers or gauging devices.

Types/Examples of tank car damage include
- A.
  
  Cracks, dings, bings, gouges
- B.
  
  Cracks, scores, blisters, dents
- C.
  
  Cracks, scores, gouges, blisters
- D.
  
  Cracks, scores, gouges, dents
Correct Answer
D. Cracks, scores, gouges, dents

Explanation
The correct answer is "Cracks, scores, gouges, dents." This answer provides a comprehensive list of types/examples of tank car damage, including cracks, scores, gouges, and dents. These are all common forms of damage that can occur to tank cars, which are used to transport various substances.

Two methods for predicting the areas of potential harm within the endangered area of a hazardous materials incident
- A.
  
  Computer modeling / Senses
- B.
  
  Computer modeling / Monitoring equipment
- C.
  
  Monitoring equipment / Rain gauge
- D.
  
  Both b & c
Correct Answer
B. Computer modeling / Monitoring equipment

Explanation
Computer modeling and monitoring equipment are two methods that can be used to predict the areas of potential harm within the endangered area of a hazardous materials incident. Computer modeling allows for the simulation and prediction of various scenarios, helping to identify potential areas of harm. Monitoring equipment, on the other hand, provides real-time data and measurements that can be used to assess the current conditions and identify areas of potential danger. By combining the capabilities of computer modeling and monitoring equipment, a more comprehensive understanding of the potential harm within the endangered area can be achieved.

Selection factors to be considered in selecting the proper chemical protective clothing for a specific action include
- A.
  
  Overall suit integrity
- B.
  
  Materials chemical resistance
- C.
  
  Materials physical property
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". When selecting the proper chemical protective clothing for a specific action, it is important to consider all of the selection factors mentioned, including overall suit integrity, materials chemical resistance, and materials physical property. Overall suit integrity ensures that the clothing provides proper protection and does not have any defects or vulnerabilities. Materials chemical resistance is important to ensure that the clothing can withstand exposure to specific chemicals without degrading or allowing them to penetrate through. Materials physical property refers to the durability, flexibility, and comfort of the clothing, which can affect its effectiveness and user comfort.

Indications of material degradation of chemical protective clothing include
- A.
  
  Stiffness or excess pliability
- B.
  
  Tears, cuts, or abrasions
- C.
  
  Damage to zippers or closures
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all of the listed indications - stiffness or excess pliability, tears, cuts, or abrasions, and damage to zippers or closures - are signs of material degradation in chemical protective clothing. These indications suggest that the clothing has deteriorated and may no longer provide adequate protection against chemicals.

Safety considerations for product transfer operations include, Bonding, Grounding, Shock hazards, and
- A.
  
  Checking for reactivity of material
- B.
  
  Having foam pre-staged
- C.
  
  Elimination of ignition sources
- D.
  
  Staying downwind of the transfer operation
Correct Answer
C. Elimination of ignition sources

Explanation
The correct answer is "Elimination of ignition sources". Safety considerations for product transfer operations include various factors such as bonding, grounding, shock hazards, and the elimination of ignition sources. Ignition sources can include open flames, sparks, electrical equipment, and hot surfaces, which can potentially ignite flammable materials during transfer operations. Therefore, eliminating ignition sources is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the transfer operation.
