    Sharp Tools should be kept where?

    • In your pockets for convenience

    • In your locker

    • In your toolbox until you need them

    • Scattered on the top of your work table

    • On top of the lathe

    Correct Answer
    A. In your toolbox until you need them
    Explanation
    Sharp tools should be kept in your toolbox until you need them. This is because keeping them in your pockets may pose a safety risk and can cause injuries. Storing them in your locker may not be convenient when you need them for immediate use. Additionally, scattering them on the top of your work table or on top of the lathe can lead to accidents or damage to the tools. Therefore, the safest and most practical option is to store sharp tools in a toolbox until they are needed.

    During heat treating always:

    • Turn the oven up as far as it will go

    • Use rubber gloves

    • Grab the part with tongs while wearing a safety shield

    • Feel the end of the part with your hand to check temperature

    • Leave oven on for next student

    Correct Answer
    A. Grab the part with tongs while wearing a safety shield
    Explanation
    When heat treating, it is important to grab the part with tongs while wearing a safety shield. This is because heat treating involves exposing the part to high temperatures, which can cause severe burns if touched directly. Using tongs provides a safe way to handle the hot part without risking injury. Wearing a safety shield further protects the eyes and face from any potential hazards that may arise during the heat treating process.

    When you carry long stock material one should:

    • Carry it vertically

    • Carry it horizontally

    • Carry it alone

    • Carry it back to old Virginia

    • Carry on my wayward son

    Correct Answer
    A. Carry it horizontally
    Explanation
    When carrying long stock material, it is best to carry it horizontally. This is because carrying it vertically can increase the risk of injury or accidents, as the material may become unbalanced and difficult to control. Carrying it horizontally ensures better stability and control, reducing the chances of accidents and making it easier to transport the material safely.

    • Should be logged and placed in MSDS Folder

    • Sent to the cashier for receipt verification

    Correct Answer
    A. Should be logged and placed in MSDS Folder
    Explanation
    When hazardous chemicals are brought in, the MSDS sheets should be logged and placed in an MSDS Folder. This is important because MSDS sheets contain crucial information about the hazards, safe handling, and emergency procedures related to the chemicals. By logging and placing them in an MSDS Folder, it ensures that the sheets are easily accessible to employees who may need to refer to them for safety purposes. Additionally, keeping them in a designated folder helps in organizing and maintaining a record of all the MSDS sheets for future reference and compliance purposes.

    When watching a welder working you should:

    • Look straight into the arc from the welders torch to check it's intensity

    • Stand right next to them in case they need help

    • Tap them on the shoulder to let them know you're there

    • Drop a heavy object behind them to make them aware you're in the area

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    When watching a welder working, you should not look straight into the arc from the welder's torch as it can cause eye damage. Standing right next to them can be dangerous as it exposes you to potential hazards. Tapping them on the shoulder or dropping a heavy object behind them can startle or distract the welder, leading to accidents. Therefore, none of the above options are appropriate when watching a welder work.

    When lifting material from the floor you should...

    • Jerk it up

    • Lift with your back

    • Lift with a strap

    • Lift with your legs

    • All the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Lift with your legs
    Explanation
    When lifting material from the floor, it is important to lift with your legs. This is because the muscles in your legs are larger and stronger than the muscles in your back, making them better equipped to handle the weight. Lifting with your legs also helps to maintain proper posture and reduces the strain on your back, decreasing the risk of injury. Jerking the material up or lifting with your back can lead to back injuries, while using a strap alone may not provide enough support. Therefore, the correct method is to lift with your legs.

    • Wear

    • Color

    • Scratches

    • Nicks

    Correct Answer
    A. Burrs
    Explanation
    When ready to hand in a part, it is important to check it for any burrs. Burrs are rough edges or projections that can be formed during the manufacturing process. These burrs can cause injury to individuals handling the part or damage to other components. By checking for burrs, one can ensure that the part is smooth and safe to handle, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.
