17
Q

When are dikes most effective?

A

When they can be built quickly.

18
Q

What is a chemical method by which a water-soluble solution, usually a corrosive, is diluted by adding large volumes of water to the spill?

A

dilution

19
Q

What is the major disadvantage to dilution?

A

It is not well understood by emergency response personnel.

20
Q

What is a physical method of confinement by which barriers are constructed on ground or placed in a waterway to intentionally control the movement of a hazardous material into an area where it will pose less harm to the community and the environment?

A

diversion

21
Q

What is a chemical method by which certain chemical and biological agents are used to disperse or break up the material involved in liquid spills on water?

A

dispersion

22
Q

What is a physical method by which water spray or fans are used to disperse or move vapors away from the surface areas of the product?

A

vapor dispersion

23
Q

What is a physical method to reduce or eliminate the vapors emanating from a spilled or released material?

A

vapor suppression

24
Q

What is a chemical method by which a hazmat is neutralized by applying a second material to the original spill that will chemically react with it to form a less harmful substance?

A

neutralization

25
Q

What should be neutralized by applying the neutralizing material from the outermost edge inward, thereby protecting responders?

A

corrosive spills

26
Q

What is a physical method of confinement by which a leaking drum, container or cylinder is placed inside a larger undamaged and compatible overpack container?

A

overpacking

27
Q

What containment method uses chemically compatible patches and plugs to reduce or temporarily stop the flow of materials from small container holes, rips, tears, or gashes?

A

patching (plugging)

28
Q

What method of containment is by which the internal pressure of a closed container is reduced?

A

pressure isolation and reduction

29
Q

What can be done by simply lowering the pressure or completely isolating or shutting down the compressor or pumping system?

A

The magnitude of the leak can be significantly reduced.

30
Q

What is the controlled release of a material to reduce and control the pressure, and decrease the probability of a violent container rupture?

A

venting

31
Q

What is usually associated with venting and involves the use of physical or chemical filters or control devices to “scrub” contaminants, particulates, or gases during normal or emergency process operations?

A

scrubbing

32
Q

What is the controlled burning of a liquid or gas material to reduce or control pressure inside the tank, dispose of residual vapors, and/or to dispose of a product when transfer operations may be impractical?

A

flaring

33
Q

What is used to gain access to bulk liquid or gas tanks, pipelines, or containers for the purpose of product removal?

A

hot tapping

34
Q

What is a chemical method of containment whereby a liquid substance is chemically treated so that a solid material results?

A

solidification

35
Q

What is a physical method of containment by which a hazardous material is placed in a chemically compatible container by simply vacuuming it up?

A

vacuuming

36
Q

Which hazmat classes have historically produced the most injuries and fatalities to emergency responders and are encountered in virtually every plant and community?

A

Flammable liquids, gases, and reactive chemicals.

37
Q

What are the most common hazard class encountered by emergency responders?

A

flammable liquids

38
Q

What is the workhouse of flammable liquid firefighting?

A

Class B foam

39
Q

What should be considered to be done when dealing with three-dimensional fires?

A

Be sure the fuel source can be shut off when the fire is extinguished.

40
Q

What is a flammable and odorless gas and is methane in its liquid state?

A

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
