Student safety 2011 5th edition - Pt 3, Pg 14-19 Flashcards
What do the 3 hard hat classes do?
Pg 14
The 3 classes are for protection level from electrical hazards.
- Class G (General) hard hats are for 2,200 volts.
- Class E (Electrical) hard hats are for 20,000 volts.
- Class C (Conductive) hard hats have no electrical protection.
What can a dust mask/respirator protect us from?
Pg 15
Dust mask/respirators help control dust and fumes in construction sites that can damage a respiratory tract.
Some industries ask employees to do what for respirators to make a good seal?
Pg 15
Employees must be clean-shaven to wear respirators.
What are voltage-rated gloves?
Pg 15
Voltage-rated gloves are thick, non-conductive for work near live equipment.
When must be voltage-rated gloves be retested?
Pg 15
The gloves are rated at max voltage and must be retested each 90 days.
What to do with voltage-rated gloves if finished using?
Pg 15
They must be rolled from the open end to be inflated.
What are voltage-rated gloves covered with?
Pg 15
Voltage-rated gloves are covered with leather canvas gloves called protectors.
What must safety footwear have on its soles?
Pg 15
Soles must have a plate stopping sharp objects.
What are safety footwear that stop sharp objects identified with?
Pg 15
Safety footwear stopping sharp objects have CSA green triangle.
What are safety footwear that stop shocks identified with?
Pg 15
Safety footwear that stop shocks have a white triangle.
How many levels of arc flash protective clothing does the NFPA standard referenced by Canadian Electrical Codes defines?
Pg 16
6 levels of arc flash protective clothing from -1 to 4
What are arc flash protective clothing levels for?
Pg 16
higher heat exposure
If a task exposes a worker to minimal arc fault energy, what level of clothing is needed?
Pg 16
lvl 0 cloth is for a worker exposed minimal arc fault energy
What’s lvl 0 clothing comprised of?
Pg 16
lvl 0 =
* long sleeve shirt
* long pants
* safety glass
What must lvl 0 pants and shirt be made of?
Name an example
Pg 16
Lvl 0 pants and shirt must be made of non-melting material.
Like otton denim-flammable but doesn’t melt.
Nylon, polyester and similar fabrics will what in heat…?
Pg 16
They melt in heat.
Lvl 4 clothing consists of…?
Pg 16
Lvl 4 clothing consists of a full suit of thick, flame retardant cloth.
What’s the disavantage of lvl 4 clothes?
Pg 16
They’re heavy and hot.
What are lockout and tagouts (LOTO)?
Pg 17
LOTO is a safety procedure to secure machinery from hazardous energy sources (e.g. electricity).
Lockout and tagout procedures ensure what?
Pg 17
LOTO procedures ensure equipment and circuits are safe to work on.
How are LOTO procedures done?
Pg 17
by physically locking an energy isolating device with tag attached to show a tool isn’t operated til the lockout is removed.
What are the types of control procedures?
Pg 17
- Individual control
- Simple lockout/tagout
- Complex lockout/tagout
What’s the simplest type of control procedure?
Pg 17
Individual control is the simplest form of control.
Pg 17
One small crew must work on a circuit at…?
Pg 17
One small crew must work on a circuit at a single shift.
What must someone be able to do in individual control?
Pg 17
They must see the equipment, the disconnecting means and control access to be effective.
What’s often used if no LOTO procedures are there?
Pg 17
Individual control is often used if no LOTO are present.
What type of control procedure can be used for one crew works on a project?
Pg 17
Simple Lockout/Tagout procedures can be used if one crew works on a project.
What control procedure is used if:
* many crews and energy sources
* many locations
* many crafts
* many disconnection issues
* complex sequences
Pg 17
Complex Lockout/Tagout is used if many crews and energy sources are present.
Lockout preparations involve reviewing drawings, equipment labels and you must be able to answer:
* Where the disconnecting means for all energy sources?
* What’s needed to lock them out?
* What must be done to deal with energy stored in capacitors, air tanks, etc?
* What equipment is needed to test circuits are dead?
Pg 18
- Where the disconnecting means for all energy sources?
- What’s needed to lock them out?
- What must be done to deal with energy stored in capacitors, air tanks, etc?
- What equipment is needed to test circuits are dead?
