L.P. Book HAZMAT / Lesson Plan #16 Hazardous Materials – Awareness

The correct answer is the Emergency Response Guidebook. This reference book is specifically designed to provide guidance to 1st Responders in collecting hazard information during emergency situations. It contains important information such as hazard classification, emergency response procedures, and protective measures. It is a valuable tool for 1st Responders to quickly assess and respond to hazardous materials incidents.

NFPA 472 is the correct answer because it specifically covers the required competency training for 1st Responders at the Awareness level. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops and publishes standards for various aspects of fire safety and emergency response. NFPA 472 specifically focuses on the professional competence of responders to hazardous materials incidents. Therefore, it is the appropriate section to reference for the required training for 1st Responders at the Awareness level.

Hazardous Chemicals, as defined by OSHA, pose a risk to employees if they are exposed in the workplace. This means that these chemicals have the potential to cause harm or injury to employees if they come into contact with them, whether through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. It is important for employers to properly handle and store hazardous chemicals, as well as provide appropriate training and protective measures to ensure the safety of their employees.

Awareness level 1st Responders are expected to recognize the presence of hazardous materials, protect themselves, call for trained personnel, and secure the area. This means that they should be able to identify when hazardous materials are present, take necessary precautions to ensure their own safety, notify trained personnel for further assistance, and ensure that the area is secured to prevent any further harm or danger.

The correct answer is "Hazard Classes/Divisions". Hazardous Materials is a term used by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to refer to substances or materials that pose a risk to health, safety, and the environment. Hazard Classes/Divisions categorize these materials based on their specific hazards, such as flammability, corrosiveness, toxicity, etc. Therefore, the term "Hazardous Materials" encompasses the various classes and divisions of hazardous substances, making option "Hazard Classes/Divisions" the correct answer.

Class 6 materials are poisons because they are substances that can cause harm or death when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by the body. These materials are toxic and can have detrimental effects on living organisms. It is important to handle and store these materials with caution to prevent accidents and protect human health.

The correct answer is 1.4. This is because the statement mentions that no device in this Division of explosives can contain more than 25 grams of a detonating material. 1.4 is the only option that is greater than 25 grams, making it the correct answer.

Explosives that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projectile hazard, or both, but not a mass explosion hazard are classified as a Division 1.3. This means that these explosives have a moderate fire hazard and pose a minor blast or projectile hazard. They do not have the potential for a mass explosion.

The correct answer is "Flammable, oxidizer, poisonous, & nonflammable". This answer correctly identifies the sub-hazards divisions of Class 2 Hazard Class (Compressed Gas). Flammable gases can ignite and burn, oxidizer gases can support combustion, poisonous gases can cause harm or death when inhaled, and nonflammable gases do not burn.
