True or False. The acronym for fire extinguisher use is PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The acronym PASS stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep, which is the correct sequence of steps to use a fire extinguisher effectively. Pulling the pin releases the locking mechanism, aiming the nozzle at the base of the fire directs the extinguishing agent accurately, squeezing the handle releases the agent, and sweeping the nozzle from side to side covers the entire area of the fire. Therefore, the given answer, True, is correct.Rate this question:

- A.
Leave the victim and run for help.
- B.
Know what you must not do.
- C.
Know what you must do.
- D.
If you are not sure what procedures to follow, send for trained medical assistance.
Correct Answer
A. Leave the victim and run for help.Explanation
The given answer, "Leave the victim and run for help," is not one of the three important rules of first aid. The three important rules of first aid are to know what you must do, know what you must not do, and if you are not sure what procedures to follow, send for trained medical assistance. Leaving the victim and running for help is not a recommended action in first aid situations, as it is important to stay with the victim and provide necessary assistance until medical help arrives.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice for lifting an object?
- A.
Bend your knees to lower your body.
- B.
Place your feet about shoulder width apart.
- C.
Bend over the object with straight legs.
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Bend over the object with straight legs.Explanation
Bending over the object with straight legs is not a recommended practice for lifting an object because it puts excessive strain on the lower back and increases the risk of injury. Instead, it is recommended to bend the knees to lower the body, which helps to engage the leg muscles and maintain a stable position. Placing the feet about shoulder width apart also provides a solid base of support while lifting. Therefore, the correct answer is bending over the object with straight legs.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a typical type of ventilation used in a shop?
- A.
Doors
- B.
Windows
- C.
Exhaust extraction systems
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the above is the correct answer because a typical type of ventilation used in a shop can include doors, windows, and exhaust extraction systems. Doors and windows allow for natural ventilation by allowing fresh air to enter and circulate within the shop. Exhaust extraction systems, on the other hand, are designed to remove pollutants and fumes from the shop, ensuring a healthy and safe working environment. Therefore, all three options are commonly used for ventilation in a shop.Rate this question:

________________ can be worn instead of a welding mask when using or assisting a person using an oxyacetylene welder.
- A.
Sunglasses
- B.
Gas welding goggles
- C.
Safety goggles
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Gas welding gogglesExplanation
Gas welding goggles are the correct answer because they provide the necessary protection for the eyes when using or assisting with an oxyacetylene welder.
