1. What is the primary consideration when encountering a hazardous material or Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) release? (1 point) A. Life safety B. Environmental safety C. Stopping the release D. Saving property 2.
What will cause it to explode? Did you place the bomb? Why did you place the bomb in our business? What is your address? What is your name?
Use PPE | Provide safety harness, back brace, steel capped boots | D: Storing turpentine and other flammable solvents in a shed 1. Eliminate Risk | Store the solvents off site | 2. Substitute | Try and use different chemicals if possible | 3. Engineer | Limit access to the chemicals. Make sure shed is locked.
Scanlan also made sure there was notification of his findings posted throughout the mine in order for all to be informed of the danger of the mine. Scanlan was sure to report all of his findings to the Department of Mining and Minerals. The decision to not shut down the mine in order to demand the safety measures be remedied has proven to be a hard lesson learned. This is mainly because it will always be questioned “what if” these measures were done, would the lives of 111 coal miners be saved. Scanlan as public administrator may have used the media and public radio stations to inform the public of the possibility of the explosion and this may have forced the owners and authorities to take action sooner than they decided to take action.
Each crew member should have a high level of situational awareness before entering a burning building. For example, firefighters need to be able to read fire behavior indicators, understand the crews tactical assessment, know probable emergency escape routes, know forcible entry requirements, identify hazards, and verify that radios and properly working. When containing fires, firefighters also need to remember vital aspects like gas cooling is not a fire extinguishment method but rather a way of reducing the hazards presented by the hot gas layer or that the most effective use of water on free-burning fires is made with direct attack on the fire. If a firefighter cannot directly attack a fire due to intense heat inside of the structure, it can be indirectly attacked outside through a window or
Every factory had orders to have one of these two systems installed in them to help prevent or hold back the outbreak of a fire to prevent damage to the property or lose of the workers. As Bruere explains, an order has gone out to install automatic sprinklers in factories, but the manufacturers had organized to fight it because it meant so great an expenditure (105). If the factory had one of these two systems installed, it could have helped prevent such a loss of lives during the fire’s
6. Describe the way in which the above named industrial and medical radioisotopes are used and explain their use in terms of their chemical properties. Cobalt-60 is used in industrial radiography to inspect metal parts and welds for defects. Beams of radiation are directed at the object to be checked from a sealed source of Co-60. Radiographic film on the opposite side of the source is exposed when it is struck by radiation passing through the objects being tested.
Joseph Arnet 12/3/09 Mr. Jerla Lab 4 Hazardous Location Lab In this hazardous location lab I was required to install conduit raceways that will fallow all NEC codes and regulations in a class 1 division 1 location. I was given an explosion proof panel and fluorescent light fixture and also a HID light. The concept of this lab is to come out of the explosion proof panel into a junction box which then feeds a selector switch and a hard wired receptacle and a second junction box. The second junction box then feeds the HID light and the fluorescent light fixture. The hard wired receptacle is wired on its own separate circuit and has a constant 120VAC potential across it unless someone turns of the breaker for it located
The atomic bomb was invented in America on august 16, 1945. The bomb was like no other. It was a bomb that was capable of grave destruction. If enough detonated it had the capacity of destroying the world. There was a total of 3 bombs constructed the first was a test the second was known as little boy and the third was known as fat man.
This step is important to the sequence of events, but should not be addressed initially. The role of the first officer on the scene has tremendous changed since the 9/11 attack. First responders are now required to assess the scene for secondary devices, any signs of a terrorist attacks, and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Since the release of this Guide the threat of terrorist attacks, meth lab locations, and homemade explosions have risen over 50%. An initial responder’s first priority is to be on the alert for secondary devices as they walk the grounds of the crime scene and protecting themselves with the highest level of personnel protective equipment (PPE) available.
