List the four Routes of Entry that Hazardous Materials may enter your Body?

Absorption
Inhalation
Transfusion
Infection
Injection
Ingestion

Correct Answer(s)

A. Absorption
A. Inhalation
A. Injection
A. Ingestion

Explanation

The four routes of entry that hazardous materials may enter the body are absorption, inhalation, injection, and ingestion. Absorption refers to the entry of hazardous materials through the skin or mucous membranes. Inhalation occurs when hazardous materials are breathed in through the respiratory system. Injection refers to the direct introduction of hazardous materials into the bloodstream through a puncture or needle. Ingestion happens when hazardous materials are swallowed and enter the body through the digestive system. These routes of entry highlight the various ways in which hazardous materials can enter and potentially harm the body.

There are three ways which workers may protect them selves from exposure to hazardous chemicals. Engineering controls such as ventilation, Proper personal hygiene, and one other. What is it?

Evacuate
Leave hazardous work for someone else
Personal Protective Equipment

Correct Answer

A. Personal Protective Equipment

Explanation

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the correct answer because it refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment that workers wear to protect themselves from hazards in the workplace. PPE acts as a barrier between the worker and the hazardous chemicals, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of exposure. It is an essential measure to ensure worker safety and minimize the potential for injuries or illnesses caused by chemical exposure.

How often do MSDS Expire ?

Annually
Never
Every 3 years
Every 5 years

Correct Answer

A. Every 3 years
