Partitions segregating hot work areas from other areas of the building must be of noncombustible or fire-resistive construction.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because partitions that separate hot work areas from other areas of a building need to be made of noncombustible or fire-resistive materials. This is important to prevent the spread of fire in case of accidents or mishaps during hot work activities. Using noncombustible or fire-resistive construction materials ensures that the partitions can withstand high temperatures and do not contribute to the fire's fuel load.

- A.
  
  Kept 35 feet away
- B.
  
  Kept 80 feet away
- C.
  
  Kept 15 feet away
Correct Answer
A. Kept 35 feet away

Explanation
Hot work areas involve activities such as welding, cutting, and brazing that generate sparks, flames, or heat. To ensure safety, these areas must be kept a certain distance away from any combustible material or waste to prevent the risk of fire or explosion. The correct answer, "kept 35 feet away," indicates that a distance of 35 feet is required to maintain a safe separation between the hot work area and any potential sources of ignition.

Combustibles, openings, or cracks in walls, floors, ducts, or shafts within 35 feet of the hot work area must be tightly covered to prevent the passage of sparks to adjacent combustible areas, or shielded by metal or fire-retardant guards, or provided with curtains to prevent the passage of sparks or slag.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Combustibles, openings, or cracks near a hot work area can pose a fire hazard if sparks or slag are able to pass through and ignite adjacent combustible areas. To prevent this, it is important to tightly cover these combustibles, openings, or cracks within a 35-foot radius of the hot work area. This can be done by using metal or fire-retardant guards, or by providing curtains that can prevent the passage of sparks or slag. Therefore, the statement is true.

Ducts and conveyor systems that might carry sparks to distant combustibles must be:
- A.
  
  Shielded, shut down, or both
- B.
  
  Left open and uncovered
- C.
  
  Left turned on and unattended
Correct Answer
A. Shielded, shut down, or both

Explanation
Ducts and conveyor systems that might carry sparks to distant combustibles must be shielded, shut down, or both. This is because sparks can ignite nearby combustible materials and cause a fire. By shielding the ducts and conveyor systems, the sparks are prevented from reaching the combustibles. Shutting down the systems also eliminates the risk of sparks being generated and transported. Using both measures together provides an extra layer of protection against potential fires. Leaving the systems open and uncovered or turned on and unattended would increase the risk of fire hazards.

- B.
  
  35 feet
- C.
  
  25 feet
- D.
  
  60 feet
Correct Answer
B. 35 feet

Explanation
Hot work, such as welding or cutting, produces sparks and heat that can ignite flammable or explosive materials. To prevent accidents, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance between the hot work and these materials. The correct answer of 35 feet indicates that hot work should not be done within this distance of flammable or explosive materials.

  Nonflammable materials
- B.
  
  Flammable materials
- C.
  
  Safe to use around hot work operation sites
- D.
  
  Should always be kept at a hot work operations site
Correct Answer
B. Flammable materials

Explanation
Gasoline and propane are considered flammable materials because they have low flash points and can easily ignite when exposed to a spark or flame. They are commonly used as fuels due to their ability to burn and release energy. However, their flammability also poses a potential hazard, as they can cause fires and explosions if not handled and stored properly. Therefore, it is important to take necessary precautions and follow safety guidelines when working with gasoline and propane.

It is not usually the flame that causes a fire. Instead, it is the:
- A.
  
  Thousands of pieces of papers that are generated when using the torch.
- B.
  
  Irresponsibility of the fire guard that causes the fire.
- C.
  
  Thousands of sparks and pieces of hot metal that are generated when using the torch.
Correct Answer
C. Thousands of sparks and pieces of hot metal that are generated when using the torch.

Explanation
When using a torch, thousands of sparks and pieces of hot metal are generated. These sparks and hot metal can easily ignite flammable materials around them, causing a fire. The flame itself is not usually the direct cause of the fire, but rather the sparks and hot metal that it produces. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when using a torch to prevent any potential fires from occurring.

For all hot work, the inspection must be conducted:
- A.
  
  45 minutes after completion of torch operations.
- B.
  
  30 minutes after completion of torch operations.
- C.
  
  2 hours after completion of torch operations.
- D.
  
  10 minutes after completion of torch operations.
Correct Answer
B. 30 minutes after completion of torch operations.

Explanation
The correct answer is 30 minutes after completion of torch operations. This time frame allows for sufficient cooling of the hot work area and equipment, reducing the risk of fire or other hazards. Waiting for 30 minutes ensures that any smoldering or residual heat is extinguished before conducting the inspection. Conducting the inspection too soon could lead to overlooking potential dangers, while waiting too long may allow hazards to go unnoticed or worsen. Therefore, 30 minutes strikes a balance between safety and efficiency in conducting the inspection.

Automatic sprinkler protection shall be shut off while hot work is performed.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because automatic sprinkler protection should not be shut off while hot work is performed. The sprinkler system is an important safety measure to prevent fires, and shutting it off during hot work increases the risk of fire. Instead, proper precautions should be taken to ensure that the hot work is conducted safely, such as using fire-resistant barriers and having a fire watch present.

Cutting and welding may cause sprinkler heads to accidentally open if the temperature rises near the sprinkler heads.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Cutting and welding involve the use of heat, and if the temperature rises near the sprinkler heads, it can cause them to accidentally open. This is because sprinkler heads are designed to activate when they sense a certain level of heat. Therefore, it is true that cutting and welding can potentially cause sprinkler heads to open accidentally if the temperature rises near them.

All compressed gases are not potential hazards because of the pressure within the container, their flammability, and/or their toxicity.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false because all compressed gases have the potential to be hazards due to the pressure within the container, their flammability, and/or their toxicity. The pressure within a compressed gas container can cause explosions or leaks if not handled properly. Additionally, some compressed gases are highly flammable and can ignite easily, while others may be toxic and pose health risks if inhaled or exposed to. Therefore, it is important to handle all compressed gases with caution and follow proper safety protocols.

Empty gas containers must be handled in the same manner as full ones.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Empty gas containers must be handled in the same manner as full ones. This means that even though the containers are empty, they should still be treated with caution and handled carefully. This is because empty gas containers can still contain residual gas or fumes that can be flammable or hazardous. Therefore, it is important to follow the same safety protocols and procedures when handling empty gas containers as when handling full ones.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because trained Certificate of Fitness holders should only attempt to extinguish fires that are small and contained enough to be put out with a portable fire extinguisher. This implies that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to assess the size and spread of a fire and determine if it is within their capabilities to handle. It is important for safety reasons that individuals with this certification do not attempt to extinguish fires that are too large or dangerous, as they may put themselves and others at risk.
