BASIC OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
______1. CLASS K fires are fires that involve combustible cooking fuels such as vegetable or
animal oils and fats. Fires that involve energized electrical wiring or equipment (motors,
computers, panel boxes) are called CLASS B fires.
______ 2. Catalysts are substances that increase the speed at which a fire spreads. When a fire
starts, a fourth element, which is the chemical reaction itself, is necessary for flame propagation.
______3. Normally, the air has 23% oxygen and 77% nitrogen.The fire extinguishment
procedure demonstrates the principles of extinguishing fire.
_____4. Class C fires involve uncommon materials and occur in fairly specialized situations.
Hazardous sparks such as globules of molten, burning metal or hot slag are produced by both
welding and cutting operations.
______5. Conduction is the transfer of heat from molecule to molecule.Radiation is the transfer
of heat in straight rays.
______6. Maintenance is a "quick check" that visually determines whether the fire extinguisher
is properly placed and will operate. Inspection must be done at least monthly or more to be
effective. Inspection means a complete and thorough examination of each extinguisher.
______7. MMH is always hazardous but the level of hazard depends on what you are handling,
what the task is, and what the conditions are at the workplace or work site. While quick and
easy mobilization and storage of materials is a necessity in the workplace, the tendency to
deviate from a safe way of doing it happens, unmindful of the adverse consequences to both the
person and the material.
______ 8. Mechanically-powered materials handling equipment are classified into two: lifting
equipment and pushing equipment. Pushing equipment includes a variety of items for lifting
heavy and bulky items with minimal human intervention such as hoists and cranes.
______9. The higher the flashpoint, the more dangerous a substance is. Even if found together,
fuel and oxygen will not burn, we need to introduce spark into it.
_____10. An ignition source is something that can cause an acelerant or flammable material to
ignite. To prevent the spread of fire, we need to make sure that the area is large enough so that
it can escape.
