What is a limitation of using your senses to determine the presence of a hazardous material?
A limitation of using your senses to determine the presence of a hazardous material is that some hazardous materials are hazardous at concentrations too low for your senses to detect. In addition, some materials are very apparent to your senses at concentrations that are very small fractions of the concentration at which they become hazardous.
If you are close enough to sense hazardous materials, you may have already endangered yourself.
What else can I help you with?
What are you responsible for when analyzing a hazardous materials incident at the awareness level?
When analyzing a hazardous materials incident at the awareness level you are responsible for recognizing the presence of hazardous materials.
Identify two sensory clues that indicate the presence of hazardous materials?
Smell - Some hazardous materials have a distinctive smell that can be used to indicate its presence. Sight - You can see the hazardous material.
Is white froth an indication of a hazardous material in water?
White froth in water may or may not be an indication of a hazardous material. It may only indicate the presence of a soap or detergent.
Sensory clues to the possible presence of hazardous materials in water include what?

What factors determine the presence of electrical energy?
The presence of electrical energy is determined by the flow of electrons through a conducting material, such as a wire or circuit. Factors that can affect the presence of electrical energy include voltage (potential difference), resistance in the circuit, and the presence of a closed loop for the electrons to flow. Additionally, the type of material and the temperature can also influence the conductivity of the material.
What do sensory clues to the possible presence of hazardous materials in water include?
Water that has an oily appearance, unusual algae growth, or white froth may be contaminated. Discolored soil, bare spots in the ground where vegetation has died off, dead animals, and the presence of metal drums or other specially designed containers also signal a potential problem.
When a hazardous material is being transported by rail where are the shipping papers most likely to be?
with the conductor or engineer
Can the presence of hazardous materials can always be detected by the sense of smell?
No, in most cases, the sense of smell is not a reliable means of identifying the presence of a hazardous materials.Many hazardous materials have no odor, and others are hazardous at concentrations that are too low to be smelled by most people.In addition there are many materials that have obnoxious odors but are not otherwise hazardous.
