December - Safety Resource Manual

Questions and Answers

1.

December - Safety Resource Manual
2.

The flash point is the temperature at which flammable or combustible liquid releases enough vapors to ignite.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The flash point is indeed the temperature at which a flammable or combustible liquid releases enough vapors to ignite. This means that if the temperature of the liquid reaches its flash point, it can easily catch fire or explode when exposed to an ignition source. Hence, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
3.

Water has a pH value of _________. Acids usually have a lower pH, making them more corrosive. Caustics can be corrosive but have a higher pH value.
- A.
  
  1
- B.
  
  5
- C.
  
  7
- D.
  
  10
Correct Answer
C. 7

Explanation
The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. A pH value of 7 is considered neutral, which means that water is neither acidic nor alkaline. Acids have a pH value lower than 7, indicating higher acidity and corrosiveness. On the other hand, caustics, which are alkaline substances, have a pH value higher than 7.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's) provide:
- A.
  
  Product cost
- B.
  
  Manufacturers emergency phone number
- C.
  
  Treatment for individuals exposed
- D.
  
  Flash point
- E.
  
  All but A
Correct Answer
E. All but A

Explanation
MSDS's provide information about product safety, including manufacturers' emergency phone numbers, treatment for individuals exposed to the product, and flash point. However, they do not provide information about product cost.

Rate this question:
5.

Chemicals can be stored exposed to the weather.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Chemicals cannot be stored exposed to the weather because they can react with moisture, heat, or sunlight, leading to degradation or even dangerous reactions. Exposure to the weather can also cause containers to corrode or leak, increasing the risk of spills or contamination. Therefore, it is important to store chemicals in a controlled environment, such as a designated storage area or cabinet, to ensure their safety and integrity.

Rate this question:
6.

Chemicals should be stored together within the same group or type of chemical.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Chemicals should be stored together within the same group or type of chemical to ensure safety and prevent any potential reactions or hazards. Storing chemicals separately based on their compatibility helps to minimize the risk of accidents, such as fires or explosions, that could occur if incompatible chemicals come into contact with each other. It also makes it easier to locate and access specific chemicals when needed. Therefore, it is important to store chemicals of similar types together to maintain a safe and organized storage system.
