    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    True or False. The acronym for fire extinguisher use is PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The acronym for fire extinguisher use is PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. This acronym is widely used and recognized in fire safety training. Pull refers to pulling the pin to unlock the extinguisher, Aim means aiming the nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze involves squeezing the handle to release the extinguishing agent, and Sweep indicates sweeping the nozzle from side to side to cover the fire area. Therefore, the statement "The acronym for fire extinguisher use is PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep" is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Leave the victim and run for help.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Leave the victim and run for help." This answer is not one of the three important rules of first aid because leaving the victim alone without providing any assistance or support is not recommended. The three important rules of first aid are to know what you must do, know what you must not do, and if you are unsure of the procedures to follow, send for trained medical assistance.

    ________________ can be worn instead of a welding mask when using or assisting a person using an oxyacetylene welder.

    • Sunglasses

    • Gas welding goggles

    • Safety goggles

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Gas welding goggles
    Explanation
    Gas welding goggles are the correct answer because they provide the necessary protection for the eyes when using or assisting a person using an oxyacetylene welder. Sunglasses may not offer adequate protection against the intense light and heat produced during welding, while safety goggles are designed for general eye protection and may not have the specific features required for welding. Therefore, gas welding goggles are the most suitable option for this situation.

    Tech A says the light from a welding arc is very bright and contains high levels of ultraviolet radiation. Tech B says the lenses on tinted sunglasses have heavily tinted glass to reduce the intensity of the light from the welding tip, allowing you to see the task you are performing more clearly. Who is correct?

    • Tech A

    • Tech B

    • Both Techs A and B

    • Neither Tech A nor B

    Correct Answer
    A. Tech A
    Explanation
    Tech A is correct. The light from a welding arc is indeed very bright and contains high levels of ultraviolet radiation. This is why welders need to wear protective gear, such as welding helmets with darkened lenses, to shield their eyes from the intense light and harmful radiation. Tech B's statement about tinted sunglasses reducing the intensity of the light from the welding tip is incorrect, as regular sunglasses are not designed to protect against the specific hazards of welding.

    Rate this question:
