    Exposure to zinc fumes may cause metal fume fever.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    Backflow prevention should be provided for oxygen cylinders.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Backflow prevention should be provided for oxygen cylinders because it is essential to prevent the backflow of contaminants or other gases into the oxygen supply. Backflow can occur when there is a pressure difference between the oxygen cylinder and the surrounding environment, causing the flow of gases in the opposite direction. This can lead to the contamination of the oxygen supply, which can be extremely dangerous for patients who rely on oxygen therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to have backflow prevention mechanisms in place to ensure the purity and safety of the oxygen being delivered.

    Acetylene has a very narrow flammable range.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Acetylene does not have a narrow flammable range. In fact, it has a very wide flammable range, making it highly explosive. This is due to its low ignition energy and high heat of combustion. Acetylene can ignite and burn in a wide range of concentrations with oxygen, making it a dangerous substance to handle without proper precautions.

  • 5. 

    Cylinder inspection requirements are regulated by the Department of..?

    • Federal Affairs

    • Transportation

    • Human Services

    • Welders Union

    Correct Answer
    A. Transportation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Transportation because the Department of Transportation is responsible for regulating and ensuring the safety of various transportation systems, including cylinders used for transportation purposes. They establish guidelines and requirements for the inspection of cylinders to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety standards.
