Chapter 10 ( DONT STUDY NOT ON TEST ) Flashcards
Personal protective equipment (71 cards)
Operations level responders with mission specific PPE training:
Select appropriate ‘’ for the assignment
Inspect, maintain, store, Don, Work in and doff ‘’
Go through ‘’ while wearing PPE
Reporting ‘’ to use of PPE
Select appropriate PPE for the assignment
Inspect, maintain, store, Don, Work and doff PPE
Go through decontamination while wearing PPE
Reporting document to use of PPE
p. 353
Missions, risks and potential hazards at an incidental determine what
pep needed
When selecting PPE consider the following general sections factors:
Chemical and ‘’ hazard
Monitoring and ‘’ reading
‘‘environment
‘’ duration
Available ‘’, or equipment
‘’ design
Materials, ‘’ resistant
Physica’’
‘’ of decontamination
‘’ of maintenance and service
‘’ with other types of equipment
Cost
Chemical and physical hazard
Monitoring and detection reading
Physical environment
Exposure duration
Available protective clothing, or equipment
Clothing design

ease of maintenance and service
Interoperability with other types of equipment
Cost p. 357
Three primary ways CPC effectiveness is reduced are
Permeation
Degradation
Penetration
What is a chemical process that occurs when a chemical passes through a fabric on a molecule level?. no visible evidence of chemicals..
Permeation p. 358
What may be chemical or physical, occurs when contact with chemical substance alters the characteristics of a material.. ( discolor, swell, loss of physical strength, or deterioration can indicate material…. )
degradtion
What occurs when direct pressure causes strains to the suit ( tears, punctures, cuts, and abrasions)
Physical degradation
What is a physical process that occurs when has this material enters an opening or a puncture in a protective material?
Penetration
Exposures to sound greater than ‘’ decibels can cause structural damage to the inner air, resulting in permanent hair loss and or tinnitus
85
Hearing protection devices include
Foam plugs
Molding/pre-molding flanged
Earmuffs p. 359
What is the most significant root of entry for hazardous materials?
Annihilation making respiratory protection, a primary concern
Responded to the following basic types of protective breathing equipment at hazmat/WMD incident:
SCBA
Supplied air respirators( SAR)
Air purified respirators( APR)
Combined respirators
Supplied air hoods
General face peace limitations include
Limited visibility
Decrease ability to communicate
Psychological stress
p. 361
What is perhaps the most important piece of PPE responder wear to hazmat incident?
SCBA
SCBA consist of ?
Face peace
Pressure reg
Air hoses
Compressed air cylinder
Harness assembly end of time indicator p. 362
NIOSh classifies SCBA as either
Open circuit or close circuit
Major limiting factor with SCBA is
Air Supply limiting Work duration
SCBA cylinders up how many pounds to the responder
35
What is an atmosphere supplying respirator that provides air from a stationary source of compressed breathing air to which the user is tethered BN air hose or line?
Supplied air respirator ( SAR)
SAR consist of
Face
Face piece or belt mountain reg
Voice communication system
Up to 300 feet of air supply
Emergency escape pack
Do not use SAR for’’ .. Use for ‘’
Firefighting operations or entry off IDLH atmospheres.
Used for exiting a IDLH atmosphere p. 364
What contain a filter?, canister or cartridge that removes specific contaminants as ambient air passes through the air purifying elements.
Air purifying respirators( APRS)
Another type of APR is the
Powered air purifying respirator ( PAPR )
What is a motorized respirator that uses a filter to clean surrounding air then deliver deliver the filtered air to user ..
Powered air purifying respirator
