200 000
Individual heat stress monitoring is recommended when the worker is under heavy
loads (burning ? kcal./ hr) and the temperature is at least ? degrees F. Oral temperature
and water loss must be measured, along with heart rate monitoring. - Answer ✔
500kcal/69.9 F
The work cycle should be shortened for any worker whose oral temperature exceeds ?
degrees Centigrade or ? Fahrenheit degrees. - Answer ✔ 37.6 C or 99.68 F
Body water weight loss should not be more than ? percent of total body weight per day.
Fluid intake should be increased if loss approaches that amount. - Answer ✔ 1.5
percent
Body water loss measurements are taken by weighing the worker at the beginning and
end of each day.
FMEA can provide mathematical predictions about the - Answer ✔ expected rate of
failure for the process.

street
Exit routes are different from exit discharges in that they - Answer ✔ do not necessarily
pass out into a street, yard, or open area away from the building.

and control leaks or spills of hazardous materials.
Before marching into a site where hazards may be yet unknown, the HAZMAT team
surveys and monitors the site by: - Answer ✔ Assessing the level of threat for IDLH
(Immediate Danger to Life and Health) or ionizing radiation.
Monitoring for ionizing radiation with test equipment which measures such radiation.
Employ gas meters and detector tubes to measure conditions which may cause death
or serious harm. Content levels of oxygen are frequently measured in earth cavities
which result from cave-in, for example. Ground samples or plugs may be taken for
laboratory assessment of toxicity.
