Read the first 7 Safety Procedures flashcards as text

  1. A spill of an unknown chemical occurs in a maintenance area. The FIRST action a technician should take is:

    Answer: Evacuate the area and notify the appropriate emergency response team

    Unknown chemical spills require immediate evacuation and notification of emergency responders who have proper training and equipment.

  2. What is the function of a 'try-out' step after completing LOTO procedures?

    Answer: To verify that all energy sources are fully isolated before beginning maintenance

    The try-out step — attempting to start the machine — verifies that LOTO was effective and no residual energy remains.

  3. Arc flash PPE requirements are determined by:

    Answer: An arc flash hazard analysis that calculates incident energy at the work distance

    Arc flash PPE is selected based on incident energy calculations from a hazard analysis, which determines the required arc rating in cal/cm².

  4. Which condition makes a safety harness unfit for use and requires it to be removed from service?

    Answer: Any visible cuts, fraying, burns, chemical damage, or previous fall arrest deployment

    Any physical damage or previous deployment in a fall arrest event compromises harness integrity and requires immediate removal from service.

  5. OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard applies to facilities that:

    Answer: Handle highly hazardous chemicals above specified threshold quantities

    PSM applies to facilities that handle listed highly hazardous chemicals at or above the threshold quantities specified in 29 CFR 1910.119.

  6. When using a portable ladder for maintenance access, the base should be positioned so that:

    Answer: The horizontal distance is one-quarter of the working ladder length (4:1 ratio)

    The 4:1 ratio (75° angle) means for every 4 feet of height, the base is 1 foot from the wall, providing optimal stability.

  7. Spontaneous combustion in an industrial setting is MOST likely to occur when:

    Answer: Oily rags are piled together in a confined space without ventilation

    Oily rags undergo oxidation that generates heat; when piled together without ventilation, the heat accumulates and can reach ignition temperature.
