What outlines mandatory training items that supervisors use to prepare job safety training guides (JSTG)?
-
Air Force Safety Outline (AFSO).
-
Air Force Safety Instruction (AFSI).
-
Job safety training outline (JSTO).
-
Job safety training instruction (JSTI).
Correct Answer
A. Job safety training outline (JSTO).Explanation
The correct answer is Job safety training outline (JSTO). This is because the question asks for the document that outlines mandatory training items used by supervisors to prepare job safety training guides. The Air Force Safety Outline (AFSO) and Air Force Safety Instruction (AFSI) are not specific to job safety training guides and may cover broader safety topics.

Why should the number of splices be controlled during fiber optic installation?
-
Minimize transmission loss.
-
To aid in troubleshooting.
-
Reduce potential damage.
-
Prevent eavesdropping.
Correct Answer
A. Minimize transmission loss.Explanation
The number of splices should be controlled during fiber optic installation to minimize transmission loss. Each splice introduces a certain amount of signal loss, so by keeping the number of splices to a minimum, the overall transmission loss can be reduced. This is important for maintaining the quality and efficiency of the fiber optic communication system.Rate this question:

The minimum milliamperes (mA) of current that result in cardiac arrest and can cause death is
-
100 mA.
-
75 mA.
-
50 mA.
-
25 mA.
Correct Answer
A. 50 mA.Explanation
The minimum milliamperes (mA) of current that can cause death is 50 mA. This level of current is enough to disrupt the normal electrical signals in the heart, leading to cardiac arrest. At this level, the current can cause ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening condition where the heart beats in an irregular and ineffective manner. It is important to note that the actual threshold for cardiac arrest may vary depending on individual factors, such as overall health and electrical resistance of the body.Rate this question:
