Which of the following is a source of toxic dust from a vehicle?
- A.
Drum brakes
- B.
Manual transmission bell housings
- C.
Both A and B
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Both A and BExplanation
Both drum brakes and manual transmission bell housings are sources of toxic dust from a vehicle. Drum brakes produce dust containing harmful substances such as asbestos, heavy metals, and other toxic materials. When the brakes are applied, the friction causes these particles to be released into the air. Similarly, manual transmission bell housings can also produce toxic dust due to the friction between the moving parts. Therefore, both options A and B are correct as they both contribute to the generation of toxic dust from a vehicle.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice for lifting an object?
- A.
Bend your knees to lower your body.
- B.
Place your feet about shoulder width apart.
- C.
Bend over the object with straight legs.
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Bend over the object with straight legs.Explanation
Bending over the object with straight legs is not a recommended practice for lifting an object because it puts strain on the back and increases the risk of injury. Instead, it is important to bend the knees to lower the body, which helps to engage the leg muscles and maintain proper alignment. Placing the feet about shoulder width apart also provides a stable base of support during the lifting process. Therefore, the correct answer is to avoid bending over with straight legs while lifting an object.Rate this question:

________________ can be worn instead of a welding mask when using or assisting a person using an oxyacetylene welder.
- A.
Sunglasses
- B.
Gas welding goggles
- C.
Safety goggles
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Gas welding gogglesExplanation
Gas welding goggles are specifically designed to protect the eyes from the intense heat, sparks, and bright light produced during oxyacetylene welding. They have a tinted lens to shield the eyes from harmful UV rays and infrared radiation. Sunglasses and safety goggles, on the other hand, do not provide adequate protection against the hazards associated with oxyacetylene welding. Therefore, gas welding goggles are the most suitable choice for eye protection in this scenario.Rate this question:
