HVLP (high volume, low-pressure) systems are driven by a turbine unit.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
HVLP (high volume, low-pressure) systems are driven by a turbine unit. This means that these systems use a turbine to generate the high volume of air required for the spray gun, while maintaining a low pressure. The turbine unit is responsible for compressing and delivering the air to the spray gun, allowing for efficient and controlled application of paint or other materials.

You can speed up customer drying times by drying them off with ________.
- A.
A warm dry hand towel
- B.
A hand held hair dryer
- C.
Either A or B
Correct Answer
B. A hand held hair dryerExplanation
Using a hand held hair dryer can help speed up customer drying times because it produces warm air that can quickly evaporate the moisture from the customer's skin. This method is more efficient than using a warm dry hand towel, as the air from the hair dryer can reach all areas of the body and dry them off evenly.

Room Set Up - When choosing a paint color, it would be helpful to look for a ______ paint color that will help to mask the overspray, but not hide it so that the room can be properly cleaned.
- A.
Very dark
- B.
Very light
- C.
Medium
Correct Answer
C. MediumExplanation
When choosing a paint color for a room, it is important to consider a medium shade. This shade will help to mask any overspray that may occur during the painting process. However, it should not be so dark that it completely hides the overspray, as it is necessary to be able to properly clean the room. Similarly, a very light color would not be ideal as it would not effectively hide the overspray. Therefore, a medium paint color is the best choice in this scenario.Rate this question:

Skin replaces itself naturally every 28 days. 25% of skin is exfoliated each week causing a uv-tan and/or a spraytan to wear away. A spray tan affects only the top 25% of skin.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the skin naturally replaces itself every 28 days, and 25% of the skin is exfoliated each week. This means that any UV-tan or spray tan on the skin will gradually wear away as the top layer of skin is shed. Since a spray tan only affects the top 25% of the skin, it will eventually fade away as new skin cells are formed and the old ones are sloughed off.Rate this question:

- C.
All of the Above

C. All of the AboveExplanation
When spraying a customer's face with the spray gun, it is important to avoid spraying into the ears. This is because oils in the ear can cause the ears to darken excessively.

The tanning industry recognizes dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, as the colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with the dead skin cells, a color change occurs.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a colorless sugar that interacts with dead cells in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. This interaction leads to a color change, which is why DHA is commonly used in the tanning industry to create a tan appearance on the skin. Therefore, the statement "The tanning industry recognizes dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, as the colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis" is true.Rate this question:

A tan from DHA can take up to sixteen hours to develop on the skin and will last on average three to five days.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is a common ingredient in self-tanning products. When applied to the skin, it reacts with the amino acids in the dead skin cells to produce a temporary tan. The development of this tan can take up to sixteen hours, as it needs time to fully react with the skin. However, it is important to note that the duration of the tan can vary from person to person and may last anywhere from three to five days. Therefore, the statement "A tan from DHA can take up to sixteen hours to develop on the skin and will last on average three to five days" is true.Rate this question:

- B.
Customers interaction
- C.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Contaminants (substances that may come between the floor and the shoe like sunless solutions).Explanation
Slips are generally caused by the interaction of three factors: Footwear, Flooring, and Contaminants. Contaminants refer to substances that may come between the floor and the shoe, such as sunless solutions. These substances can reduce the friction between the shoe and the floor, making it easier for a person to slip and fall. Therefore, the presence of contaminants is an important factor to consider when analyzing slip hazards.Rate this question:
-
- 38.
Which of the following are cost-effective options for increasing a floor's slip resistance?

Paint floors in high-risk work areas with abrasive material
- B.
Etch the surface with acids, such as hydrofluoric acid
- C.
Place slip-resistant mats in the most slip-prone areas.
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Place slip-resistant mats in the most slip-prone areas.Explanation
Placing slip-resistant mats in the most slip-prone areas is a cost-effective option for increasing a floor's slip resistance. This option does not involve the use of abrasive materials or acids, which can be more expensive and potentially hazardous. Slip-resistant mats provide a non-slip surface that can help prevent accidents and injuries, making them a practical and affordable solution for improving floor safety.Rate this question:
