Q

What is a confined space defined as

A

An enclosed or partially enclosed space which

1) is at atmospheric pressure during occupancy
2) is not intended or designed primarily as a place of work
3) may have restricted means for entry and exit
4) is liable at any time to
- have an atmosphere which contains potentially harmful levels of contaminant
- have an oxygen deficiency or excess
- cause englufment

Q

when does a duty holder commit the reckless conduct in respect of duty

A

1) they have a health and safety duty under sections 36-46 of HSWA
2) they engage in behaviour that causes someone to be put at risk of being seriously injured, made seriously ill or killed

Q

RNZAF conditions for safe entry to AC fuel tanks

A
  • combustible vapor concentration within the fuel tanks must be below 350PPM/5%LEL and be continuously monitored
  • air supplied respirator must be worn above 29PPM
  • oxygen level must be below 23.5%
  • air supplied respirator must be worn below 19.5%
  • temp must be between 0-40*C
  • if contaminants other than AVTUR are present an air supplied respirator must be worn

Q

temperature limits for CSE

A

temp must be between 0-40*C

18
Q

vapour concentration x_ for a __*C rise in temp

A

x2 for a 10*
x4 for a 20*
x8 for a 30*

19
Q

what is a risk assessment

A

determination of the level of risk related to a specific situation and a recognised hazard. requires the calculation of the consequence and the liklihood

20
Q

Hierarchy of control measures

A

1) elimination
2) substitution
3) isolation
4) engineering controls
5) administrative controls
6) use of ppe

21
Q

when must an entry permit completed and when does it renew

A

part A; completed at the commencement of each AC servicing
Part B: issued no more than 1 hr prior to fuel tank entry. renewed when:
- 10 hours have elapsed from the time of issue
- significant change in the risk inside the fuel tank
- significant break in work continuity

22
Q

where is the entry permit displayed

A

as close to the entry point as possible

23
Q

how long must you wait for venting before entering

A

at least 30min

24
Q

who is in a fuel tank entry team

A

NCO IC CSE
fuel tank entrant
stand by person

25
Q

what are the best methods of rescue

A

1) self rescue
2) removal by someone who is outside the space (harnesses, lifelines)
3) where entry is necessary to extricate a victim

26
Q

when raising the alarm, what should be adhered to

A
  • gain attention
  • give your name
  • give your location
  • state problem
  • state condition of victim
  • state what help is required
  • check message details
  • repeat if necassary
27
Q

what are some hazards associated with establishing the work area

A

no hot work to be carried out while fuel tanks open

all electrical equipment meets the requirements.

28
Q

what must you do with tools and consumables being taken into the fuel tank

A

must be recorded on rnzaflog 76

29
Q

ventilation of confined spaces- points to note with forced ventilation

A

1) blower cart bonded to AC
2) venting hoses placed at opening of tank and metal ends touching structure
3) blower set to MAX and COLD

30
Q

what is a precaution to be noted when using forced mechanical ventilation

A

pressure differential must be considered/monitored to prevent damage to structure

31
Q

when ventilating AC with fuel tanks with a capacity over 8000lts, what must happen

A

venting airflow must be greater than 9000lt/min.
1x rhine blower
2x muft cart

32
Q

what do the multi rae alarms sound like and when do they go off

A

soft slow beep- oxygen falls below 19.5%

rapid loud- oxygen excess over 23.5%

33
Q

where do you place the multi rae when in the fuel tank

A

as close as practicable to your breathing zone

34
Q

what will happen if the compressor air supply fails

A

1) a whistle will sound by the air cleaner unit
2) safety man will tell you to exit
3) safety man turns on emergency bottle
4) a whistle will sound when the bottle air supply is almost empty

35
Q

what check must you do on an air bottle prior to use

A

ensure its 80% full.

above 2400 psi

36
Q

immediately return to fresh air if

A
  • you smell or taste contaminants, or your eyes, nose, throat become irritated
  • it becomes difficult to breathe
  • air you are breathing becomes warm
  • you become dizzy
  • warning alarm sounds
37
Q

due to the physiological factors associated with wearing full body ppe, what must you be aware of

A

1) be in ppe no longer than 3.5 hours
2) be inside a confined space for longer than 3 hrs
3) make a second tank entry on the same day when you have already spent 2hrs inside wearing full ppe

38
Q

Time Weighted Average is -

A

average airborne concentration when calculated over 8hr/ 5 days

39
Q

Short term exposure limit is -

A

15min/ 4x per day. 60min break

40
Q

Peak is-

A

maximum airborne concentration over the shortest analytically practicable period which doesnt exceed 15mins
