Q

Respiratory Protection Program Terminology:

Oxygen Deficient Atmosphere?

A

An atmosphere with insufficient O2 to support life. This deficiency is usually caused by oxidation, dilution, or by the displacement of oxygen by other gases.

19
Q

How much O2 must be present to use an air-purifying respirator?

(Test)

A

Must be 19.5% by volume.

20
Q

Respiratory Protection Program Terminology:

Smoke?

A

A carbon or soot particles less than 0.1 micrometer in size resulting from the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials such as coal or oil.

21
Q

Respiratory Protection Program Terminology:

Vapor?

A

Gaseous state of a substance which is normally a liquid or solid at room temperature.

22
Q

What does IDLH mean?

(Test)

A

Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health.

23
Q

Respiratory Protection Program Terminology:

Atmosphere Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)?

A

The concentration of a contaminant which can produce an immediate irreversible debilitating effect on health, or which can cause death.

24
Q

Engineering Controls For Air Contaminants:

Ventilation Systems?

A

Supply,

Can be used in NBC/CBR shipboard environments.

25
Q

Engineering Controls For Air Contaminants:

Exhaust?

A

Forced Air Systems (Laboratory Hoods in Medical/Dental spaces),

Damage Control Gear (Red Devil Blowers).

26
Q

Gas Free Medical Surveillance and Gas Free Physical Exam Responsibilities:

Commanding Officer?

A

Establish a comprehensive gas free engineering program adequately staffed with personnel trained, qualified and certified to perform gas free engineering services,

Ensure that all personnel comply with program requirements.

27
Q

Gas Free Medical Surveillance and Gas Free Physical Exam Responsibilities:

A

Ensure that the gas free engineer program is evaluated at least annually.

28
Q

A

Advise the GFE (Gas Free Engineer) regarding medical aid in the event there is a victim(s) in the space and continues aid once the victim(s) is removed,

Monitor the victim’s use of other emergency breathing equipment and advise the GFE when replacement required,

Utilize Medical Matrix to perform physical exams depending on exposure.

29
Q

What are the three basic types of respirators?

A

Air-purifying,

Atmosphere supplied air,

Self- Contain Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

30
Q

What is an Air-purifying Respirator?

A

Remove air contaminants by filtering or absorbing them as the air passes through the cartridge.

31
Q

Air-purifying Respirator facts?

A

Adequate oxygen (19.5 percent by volume) must be present,

Available with half and full face pieces,

The full-face piece respirator provides a higher degree of protection,

Air-purifying respirators are available as single-use (e.g., disposable) or reusable,

They are effective only when used with the appropriate cartridges, filters, and pre-filters for the air contaminants present,

Air-purifying respirators may be either non-powered or powered.

32
Q

SURGICAL MASKS do not provide protection against what?

A

Air contaminants,

They are for MEDICAL/DENTAL USE ONLY and must NEVER be used as an air- purifying respirator.

33
Q

MILITARY GAS MASKS MUST NEVER BE USED IN PLACE OF what?

A

AN AIR- PURIFYING RESPIRATOR. They are used for chemical-biological- radiological (CBR) warfare.

34
Q

Air-purifying Respirator is subdivided by what 4 types of contaminants they protect against?

A

Particulate air-purifying respirators,

Gas and vapor air-purifying respirators,

Combination cartridges and canisters,

Pre-filters.

35
Q

What is particulate air-purifying respirators?

A

Uses cartridges, filters, and pre-filters designed to protect against inhalation of aerosols, i.e., solid or liquid particles dispersed in air,

Removes nuisance particles, toxic dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, smokes and sprays.

36
Q

What is Gas and vapor air-purifying respirators?

(Test)

A

Uses cartridges and canisters that remove contaminants through absorption and adsorption.

37
Q

What is combination cartridges and canisters?

A

Combine the removal capabilities of two or more type cartridges in a single cartridge.

38
Q

What is Pre-filters?

A

Used to protect against an aerosol containing a volatile organic solvent,

Adds another level of protection.

39
Q

What is an Atmosphere-Supplying Respirators?

A

Protects the user by supplying oxygen to ensure maintenance of life.

40
Q

Atmosphere-Supplying Respirators:

Specific incidences for use?

A

Used when the contaminant has no warning property,

The contaminant’s concentration is too high to use an air-purifying respirator,

Used when an environment is Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).

41
Q

Atmosphere-Supplying Respirators:

What are the two types?

A

Supplied-air respirators,

Self-contained breathing apparatuses.

42
Q

What is a supplied-air respirator?

A
43
Q

Self-contained breathing apparatuses
