CPR Equipment Operation & Site Safety 5

Question 1

During a confined space entry for restoration work, who is required to remain outside the space at all times during the operation?

Accepted Answer

An authorized attendant (hole watch)

Answer

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 requires a trained attendant stationed outside the permit-required confined space to monitor entrants and initiate rescue if necessary.

Question 2

What does the 'hierarchy of controls' prioritize FIRST when addressing a hazard identified during a restoration site safety assessment?

Accepted Answer

Elimination of the hazard

Answer

The hierarchy of controls places elimination at the top — removing the hazard entirely is always the most effective control measure before considering other options.

Question 3

When using an air scrubber with HEPA filtration during fire restoration, the unit's filters should be inspected and changed based on:

Accepted Answer

Manufacturer guidelines and observed pressure drop across the filter

Answer

Filter life depends on particulate load; manufacturers specify change intervals and pressure drop gauges indicate when filters are saturated and must be replaced.

Question 4

A crew member is struck by a falling object on a restoration site and loses consciousness. After calling 911, what is the NEXT immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Control the scene, avoid moving the victim unless in immediate danger, and monitor vitals

Answer

A struck-by head or spinal injury requires the victim NOT be moved unless in immediate danger; control the scene and monitor breathing until EMS arrives.

Question 5

Which type of fire extinguisher is appropriate for a Class C (energized electrical) fire that may occur around restoration equipment?

Accepted Answer

Class B CO2 or dry chemical extinguisher rated for Class C

Answer

Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment; CO2 or dry chemical extinguishers rated for Class C use non-conductive agents that will not cause electrocution.
