B. only the production materials will be harmful to responders.
C. both the final product and the production materials can be
harmful.
D. production materials present a greater hazard to responders
than the final product
C
If responders suspect or encounter a potential booby trap, they
should: (681)
A. turn lab equipment on or off to dismantle any possible booby
traps.
B. allow as many experts as possible to observe the scene for
booby traps.
C. attempt to locate and dismantle the booby trap before technical
experts arrive.
D. rely on specially trained bomb technicians to search for and
dismantle any booby traps
D
Exposed wiring and reversed on/off switches may be an indication
that: (681-683)
