    The selection of personal protective clothing will depend upon the hazards and properties of the materials involved, and the response objectives to be implemented (i.e., offensive, defensive and non-intervention).

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the selection of personal protective clothing is indeed dependent on the hazards and properties of the materials involved, as well as the objectives of the response, such as offensive, defensive, or non-intervention. This means that the type of protective clothing needed will vary based on the specific situation and the level of protection required. Hence, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The shape and dimensions of the hazard control zones shall depend upon such factors as the nature of the incident (i.e., fire, hazmat, rescue),

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the shape and dimensions of hazard control zones should be determined based on factors such as the type of incident, whether it is a fire, hazardous material situation, or rescue operation. These factors will help in determining the appropriate size and shape of the control zones to effectively manage and mitigate the hazards involved.

    The Safety Officer must be in radio communications with the entry and back-up teams, and if possible, have an unobstructed view of their locations in the Hot Zone.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The Safety Officer needs to be in constant communication with the entry and back-up teams to ensure their safety and provide guidance if needed. Additionally, having an unobstructed view of their locations in the Hot Zone allows the Safety Officer to closely monitor the situation and quickly respond to any emergencies or hazards that may arise. Therefore, it is important for the Safety Officer to be in radio communications with the teams and have a clear view of their locations in the Hot Zone.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Incident Commander shall designate a Safety officer (ISO)

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The correct answer is TRUE. In incident management, it is important to have a designated Safety Officer (ISO) who is responsible for ensuring the safety of all personnel involved in the incident. The ISO works closely with the Incident Commander to identify and mitigate any potential safety hazards, develop safety protocols, and provide safety briefings to all personnel. Having a designated ISO helps to prioritize safety and maintain a safe working environment during incidents.

    Hot Zone is an area surrounding by the warm zone that presents no hazard to emergency response personnel and equipment.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the hot zone refers to an area that poses a significant hazard to emergency response personnel and equipment. It is the area closest to the source of the hazardous material or incident and requires special protective measures and equipment to enter safely.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Hazard control zones should be established by the Incident Commander at all working incidents.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    In order to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in a working incident, it is important for hazard control zones to be established. These zones help to identify and mitigate potential hazards, allowing for better control and management of the incident. By establishing these zones, the Incident Commander can effectively allocate resources, implement appropriate safety measures, and prevent further escalation of the incident. Therefore, it is crucial for hazard control zones to be established by the Incident Commander at all working incidents.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The Hot Zone should usually be limited to a minimum of two trained personnel or individuals possessing particular knowledge of the problem or situation, under monitored conditions.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The statement is true because The Hot Zone refers to a highly dangerous or infectious area where strict protocols and precautions need to be followed. It is crucial to have at least two trained personnel or individuals with specific knowledge to handle such situations. This ensures that there is proper supervision and expertise to minimize risks and effectively manage the problem or situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The outer boundary of the hazard control zones will be the fire/security lines.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the outer boundary of the hazard control zones is typically marked by fire/security lines. These lines serve as a physical barrier to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of individuals within the zone. By establishing these boundaries, emergency responders can effectively manage and control the hazardous situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Incident safety Officer assumes command of an emergency.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the Incident Safety Officer (ISO) does not assume command of an emergency. Their role is to focus solely on the safety of personnel and the incident scene, providing recommendations and guidance to the Incident Commander (IC) who is responsible for overall command and control of the emergency. The ISO's primary objective is to identify and mitigate any safety hazards or risks that may arise during the incident.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Entry into the cold zone shall be restricted to trained personnel or individuals possessing particular knowledge of the problem or situation, under monitored conditions.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    The statement is false because entry into the cold zone should not be restricted to only trained personnel or individuals possessing particular knowledge of the problem or situation. It should be restricted to only trained personnel who have the necessary knowledge and skills to handle the specific problem or situation. This ensures that only those who are qualified and capable of dealing with the situation are allowed access to the cold zone, minimizing the risk of accidents or further complications.

    Additional Valero Aruba Refinery Emergency Response Team (ERT) members may be needed to support the operation but a full callout is not required is a Level 2 classification. 

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the given information states that additional Valero Aruba Refinery Emergency Response Team (ERT) members may be needed to support the operation but a full callout is not required. This implies that there is a need for additional ERT members, but not enough to classify it as a Level 2 emergency. Therefore, the statement is false.

  • 14. 

    Major release of a hazardous material that is likely to exceed containment capacity is a Level 3 classification

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    A major release of a hazardous material that is likely to exceed containment capacity is actually classified as Level 4, not Level 3. Level 4 classification is used for incidents where there is a substantial release of hazardous materials that poses a significant risk to the public and the environment, and requires a coordinated response to control and mitigate the situation. Level 3 classification is used for incidents that have the potential to exceed local capabilities, but can still be managed with available resources.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    on-scene emergency response operations are based upon the five Step Incident Management Procedure.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. FALSE
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. On-scene emergency response operations are not based upon the five-step incident management procedure. The correct answer is false because there is no specific number of steps or a fixed procedure for on-scene emergency response operations. The response to an emergency situation can vary depending on the nature and severity of the incident, and the protocols and guidelines followed by the emergency response team.
