56
Q

DEFINITION

  • the immediate removal of contaminate from an employee using a minimum 60 sec flush with soap if available and water. Then take the affected people to the area of refuge.
A

Basic Decontamination Procedure

57
Q

DEFINITION

  • Chemical reaction with the release of energy. Undesirable effects, such as pressure buildup, temperature increase, and formation of noxious, toxic or corrosive by-products may occur because of the reactivity of a substance to heating burning, direct contact with other materials, or other conditions in use or in storage.
A

Reactivity

58
Q

DEFINITION

  • the weight of a material compared to the weight of an equal volume of water is an expression of the density (or heaviness) of a material. Insoluble materials with specific gravity of less than 1.0 will float in (or on) water. Insoluble materials with specific gravity greater than 1.0 will sink in water. Most (but not all) flammable liquids have specific gravity less than 1.0 and, if not soluble, will float on water, which is an important consideration for fire suppression.
A

Specific Gravity

59
Q

DEFINITION

  • the weight of a vapor or gas compared to the weight of an equal volume of air is an expression of the density less than 1.0 (examples: acetylene, methane, hydrogen). Materials heavier than air (examples: propane, hydrogen sulfide, ethane, butane, chlorine, sulfur dioxide) have vapor densities greater than 1.0. All vapors and gases are likely to concentrate in low places along or under floors, in sumps, sewers, and manholes, in trenches and ditches where they may create fire or health hazards.
A

Vapor Density

60
Q

DEFINITION

  • the pressure exerted by a saturated vapor above its own liquid in a closed container. When quality control tests are performed on products, the test temperature is usually 100F, and the vapor pressure is expressed as psi, but vapor pressures reported on MSDS are in millimeters of mercury (mmhg) at 68F (20*C), unless stated otherwise.
A

Vapor pressure

61
Q

Three Important Facts for Vapor Pressure:

 1) Vapor pressure of a substance at 100*F will always be \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ than the vapor pressure of the substance at 68*F.
A

Higher

62
Q

Three Important Facts for Vapor Pressure:

 2) Vapor pressure reported on MSDS in mmhg are usually \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_; 760 mmhg is the equivalent to 14.7 psi.
A

Very low pressures

63
Q

Three Important Facts for Vapor Pressure:

 3) The \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ the boiling point of a substance, the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ it's vapor pressure.
A

Lower, higher

64
Q

DEFINITION:

  • an IDLH condition, a place of great contamination danger. After being in the _____________ zone Decon is absolutely necessary.
A

Exclusion Zone
