What are the most likely conditions for ESD?
A.
Hot and dry
B.
Hot and wet
C.
Cold and dry
D.
Cold and wet
Correct Answer
B. Hot and wet
Explanation Hot and wet conditions are most likely for ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) because high humidity increases the conductivity of air, allowing for the easier dissipation of static charges. Additionally, hot temperatures can cause materials to become more prone to generating static electricity. Therefore, the combination of high temperature and humidity creates an environment where ESD is more likely to occur.

When is the risk for electrostatic discharge the greatest?
A.
Day time
B.
High humidity
C.
Low humidity
D.
Night time
Correct Answer
C. Low humidity
Explanation Electrostatic discharge occurs when there is a buildup of static electricity on a surface and it discharges to another surface. Low humidity levels can cause an increase in static electricity buildup, making the risk for electrostatic discharge the greatest. In low humidity conditions, there is less moisture in the air to help dissipate the static charge, leading to a higher likelihood of discharge.

What's the best way to prevent damaging your PC with static electricity?
A.
Place your PC on a rubber mat
B.
Wear leather soled shoes
C.
Periodically touch a safe ground point on the PC to discharge yourself
D.
Wear an ESD wrist strap
Correct Answer
D. Wear an ESD wrist strap
Explanation Wearing an ESD wrist strap is the best way to prevent damaging your PC with static electricity. An ESD wrist strap is designed to safely discharge static electricity from your body, preventing it from transferring to sensitive electronic components in your PC. This strap helps to create a path for the static electricity to flow to a safe ground point, protecting your PC from potential damage. Placing your PC on a rubber mat, wearing leather soled shoes, and periodically touching a safe ground point on the PC can also help to prevent static electricity, but wearing an ESD wrist strap is the most effective solution.

What should he used to extinguish a computer fire?
A.
Fire hose
B.
Class A extinguisher
C.
Class C extinguisher
D.
Silver foam water
Correct Answer
C. Class C extinguisher
Explanation A Class C extinguisher should be used to extinguish a computer fire because it is specifically designed to handle fires involving electrical equipment. Unlike a Class A extinguisher, which is used for ordinary combustible materials like wood or paper, a Class C extinguisher contains non-conductive agents that can safely extinguish fires caused by electrical sources. Using a fire hose or silver foam water could potentially cause further damage to the computer and pose a risk of electric shock.

How can you totally protect a PC from damage during an electrical storm?
A.
Disconnect the AC Power Cable
B.
Disconnect all external cables and power cords
C.
Use a surge protector
D.
Turn off the AC power
Correct Answer
A. Disconnect the AC Power Cable
Explanation During an electrical storm, lightning strikes can cause power surges that can damage electronic devices, including PCs. Disconnecting the AC power cable is the most effective way to protect a PC from damage during an electrical storm. By disconnecting the power cable, the PC is completely isolated from the electrical grid, ensuring that any power surges caused by lightning strikes do not reach the PC. This prevents any potential damage to the internal components of the PC and keeps it safe.

Which of the option below provides the best way to prevent the computer from overheating?
A.
Remove the slot cover from the back
B.
Keep the computer cover closed
C.
Remove the CPU fan
D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Keep the computer cover closed
Explanation Keeping the computer cover closed provides the best way to prevent the computer from overheating. By keeping the cover closed, the airflow within the computer is restricted, preventing dust and other particles from entering and blocking the cooling system. This helps to maintain proper ventilation and cooling, preventing the computer from overheating. Removing the slot cover from the back or removing the CPU fan can actually worsen the overheating issue by disrupting the airflow and removing necessary cooling components.

Which of the following is not an emergency situation?
A.
Bomb threat
B.
Deranged customer
C.
Fainting
D.
Water Lock-off
Correct Answer
D. Water Lock-off
Explanation A water lock-off is not typically considered an emergency situation. While it may cause inconvenience or disruption, it does not pose an immediate threat to life or safety. In contrast, a bomb threat, a deranged customer, and fainting are all situations that require immediate attention and action to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals involved.

Which of the following is not a potential hazard?
A.
Malfunctioning equipment
B.
Overloading sockets
C.
Security post
D.
Slippery/wet floors
Correct Answer
C. Security post
Explanation A security post is not a potential hazard because it is a safety measure rather than a danger. Malfunctioning equipment, overloading sockets, and slippery/wet floors can all pose risks and potential hazards to individuals. However, a security post is designed to enhance safety and prevent hazards by providing security and surveillance.

Which of the following is not a health safety and security procedure?
A.
Personal grooming and hygiene
B.
Response to emergency, fire and accident
C.
Security of documents, personnel and equipment
D.
Eat during designated lunch time
Correct Answer
D. Eat during designated lunch time
Explanation The correct answer is "Eat during designated lunch time." This option is not a health safety and security procedure because it does not directly relate to maintaining the well-being and security of individuals or the workplace. Personal grooming and hygiene, response to emergencies, and the security of documents, personnel, and equipment all contribute to ensuring a safe and secure environment. However, eating during designated lunch time is more of a workplace policy or guideline rather than a health safety and security procedure.

________________ is help given to an injured person until proper medical treatment is available
Correct Answer First Aid
Explanation First Aid is the initial assistance provided to an injured person before professional medical help is accessible. It includes basic techniques like applying pressure to stop bleeding, providing CPR, or immobilizing a broken bone. First Aid aims to stabilize the patient's condition, prevent further harm, and potentially save their life. It is crucial in emergency situations where immediate medical treatment may not be immediately available, and it can significantly improve the chances of a positive outcome for the injured person.
