HAZMAT & ICS

What is the definition of hazardous materials?

• Substances that are safe for transportation

• Substances that pose no risk to health or safety

• Substances capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or property

• Substances that are only dangerous when ingested

Which of the following is NOT one of the 9 Hazard Classes?

• Explosives

• Gases

• Flammable Solids

• Non-reactive Materials

What does CBRNE stand for in the context of hazardous materials?

• Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear, Explosive

• Chemical, Biological, Reactive, Nuclear, Explosive

• Chemical, Biological, Radioactive, Nuclear, Explosive

What is the difference between acute exposure and chronic exposure?

• Acute exposure is long term, chronic exposure is short term

• Acute exposure is short term, chronic exposure is long term

• Acute exposure has no consequences, chronic exposure does

• Acute exposure is less harmful than chronic exposure

What are oxidizers?

What does the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) refer to?

• The level of radiation exposure

• The level of a lethal dose

• The level to which a worker can be exposed without adverse effects

• The level of biological pathogens

What is the purpose of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)?

• To measure radiation levels

• To provide information on chemical safety

• To calculate lethal doses

• To identify biological pathogens

What does LC₅₀ measure?

• The level of radiation exposure

• The level of a lethal dose or toxin

• The level of biological pathogens

• The level of explosive materials
