Correct Answer
A. OnceExplanation
The pre hot work check must be conducted once per day. This ensures that all necessary safety precautions are taken before starting any hot work activities. Conducting the check only once per day helps to maintain consistency and efficiency in the workflow, while also ensuring that potential hazards are identified and addressed before they pose a risk. Conducting the check more than once per day may be excessive and time-consuming, while not conducting it at all increases the chances of accidents and incidents occurring.Rate this question:

Paper, wood shavings straw and fabric are examples of combustible materials
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Paper, wood shavings, straw, and fabric are all examples of combustible materials because they have the ability to burn and catch fire easily. These materials contain organic compounds that can undergo combustion when exposed to heat or a flame. They have low ignition temperatures and can sustain a fire once ignited. Therefore, they are considered combustible and should be handled with caution to prevent fire hazards.Rate this question:

All hot work inspections must be conducted 30 minutes after completion of torch operations
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Hot work inspections are conducted to ensure that the area where torch operations were performed is safe and free from any potential fire hazards. Conducting the inspection 30 minutes after completion of torch operations allows enough time for any smoldering or hidden fires to become apparent. This waiting period ensures that the inspection is thorough and accurate, minimizing the risk of missing any potential hazards. Therefore, the statement that all hot work inspections must be conducted 30 minutes after completion of torch operations is true.Rate this question:

A Fire Guard is required one floor level below the work area with a B:C rating fire extinguisher
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A Fire Guard is required one floor level below the work area with a B:C rating fire extinguisher. This means that it is necessary to have a fire guard stationed on the floor directly below the work area, and this fire guard should have a fire extinguisher with a B:C rating. The B:C rating indicates that the fire extinguisher is suitable for use on both flammable liquid fires (Class B) and electrical fires (Class C).

B:C rating fire extinguisher must be readily available with how many feet of hot work location
- A.
30
- B.
15
- C.
50
- D.
10
Correct Answer
A. 30Explanation
A B:C rating fire extinguisher must be readily available within 30 feet of a hot work location. This is because B:C rated fire extinguishers are specifically designed to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment. Hot work locations, such as areas where welding or cutting is being performed, pose a higher risk of fire due to the presence of sparks, heat, and potential fuel sources. Therefore, having a fire extinguisher within close proximity ensures that any fire can be quickly and effectively suppressed before it spreads and causes further damage.Rate this question:
